Camera Shake Photography Podcast

How do individual street photographs become a project? In episode 331 of the Camera Shake Podcast, street photographer and educator Valérie Jardin joins Kersten Luts to explore the choices that turn a folder of images into a meaningful body of work.

Valérie explains how she recognises recurring themes, chooses photographs with instinct and sequences images into a book. Through projects about hands, local trades and centenarians, she shares how an idea can evolve when you meet the people at its heart.

We discuss working with a consistent focal length, finding projects close to home and making strong photographs without showing faces. Valérie also explores the fear of photographing strangers, the difference between humour and ridicule, and knowing when a project has become too easy.

Whether you’re starting a personal project or developing your photographic voice, this conversation offers practical photography advice on seeing, selecting and staying curious.

Great photographs can open doors, but what keeps clients coming back? In episode 330 of the Camera Shake Podcast, commercial photographer and educator Joel Grimes joins Kersten Luts to explore photography business, reinvention, and building a career that lasts.

Drawing on decades of advertising and portrait photography, Joel explains why marketing matters, how personal projects can attract better clients, and why a successful style may need a different approach. We discuss finding your niche, developing a signature look, understanding art directors, and creating financial breathing room to experiment without desperation.

Joel also shares his thoughts on lighting, Photoshop, camera gear, moving from Canon to Fujifilm, and using creative constraints to keep growing. We explore AI in photography, the value of photographing real people, and why the creative process still matters.

Whether you're starting a photography business, developing your portfolio, or working in photography and videography, this conversation offers photography advice and much to reflect on.

Peter Coulson returns to Camera Shake for a candid conversation about what makes portrait photography feel alive. He explains why directing a person goes beyond arranging a pose, and how movement, attention and the right words can help you capture genuine expression.

In episode 329, we explore reading facial cues, working with experienced models and everyday clients, and recognising the moment worth photographing. Peter shares why he avoids telling people to hold, how he uses video to encourage natural movement, and when showing someone a strong image can build their confidence.

We also discuss one light portrait lighting, natural light, commercial photography briefs and keeping rapport when a shoot hits a technical problem. For anyone building a photography business, the conversation offers practical insights into client communication and the experience you create in front of the camera. If you work in videography, the discussion of movement, emotion and directing people offers useful crossover ideas too.

Whether you photograph headshots, fashion or personal portraits, this episode invites you to observe more closely and rethink the instructions you give.

What can you learn by stepping in front of your own camera? In Camera Shake episode 328, Kersten Luts talks with Mark Rodriguez about self-portrait photography, creative confidence and building images that tell a story.

Mark shares how he develops conceptual photography ideas through word prompts and mind mapping, then brings them to life with lighting, costumes, handmade props and Photoshop compositing. We explore why matching perspective, shadows and light direction matters, how he combines different frames, and when starting again is the best creative decision.

There’s practical photography advice on remote triggers, interval shooting, tethered capture and working between Lightroom and Photoshop. We also discuss the value of photographing yourself, understanding the experience of your subjects, and finding a visual style that feels personal.

Along the way, Mark reflects on grief, humour, criticism and the satisfaction of making something yourself. Whether you’re an amateur, a working professional, exploring videography or starting a photography business, this conversation offers ideas for developing your craft and approaching portrait sessions with greater intention.

What Portrait Photographers Should Never Retouch asks a question: when does improving an image become changing the person?

In this episode of The Camera Shake Photography Podcast, Kersten speaks with Lithuanian portrait photographer and RetouchLab founder Skaistė Gulbinaitė about natural portrait retouching, client confidence and creating photographs that still feel authentic.

Skaistė explains why many people dislike photographs of themselves, how phone cameras and beauty filters can distort self-image, and why trust begins long before Photoshop. She shares practical photography advice for directing nervous clients, maintaining flow during a portrait session and using posing, lighting and camera angles instead of reshaping bodies in post-production.

The conversation also explores skin retouching, scars, wrinkles, commercial beauty photography and the ethical line between polishing a portrait and erasing someone’s identity. Skaistė reveals how repetitive editing inspired her to build RetouchLab, why photographers should keep creative control when using AI, and what she learned from leaving medical school to pursue art and build a photography business.

Whether you work in photography, videography or visual content creation, this thoughtful conversation will help you create better client experiences and more honest images.

What does it take to survive — and succeed — as a professional photographer for more than four decades?

In this episode of The Camera Shake Photography Podcast, Kersten sits down with award-winning portrait photographer and educator Kirk Voclain to explore the lessons he's learned during 45+ years behind the camera.

Kirk shares how he photographed his first paid wedding at just 15, what shooting film taught him about patience and composition, and why photographers who refuse to adapt risk getting left behind when the industry changes.

We talk about portrait photography, connecting with clients, photography pricing, selling digital files, running a photography business and the difference between being a talented photographer and actually making a living from photography.

Kirk also reveals how the unusual access he experienced as a professional photographer inspired his spy thriller Double Exposure — and what it feels like to become a beginner again after decades of mastering another creative craft.

Whether you're an amateur photographer, professional photographer, videographer or building your first photography business, this conversation is packed with experience you can apply to your own creative career.

How do you become a photographer when you cannot picture images in your mind?

In “The Photographer Who Can’t Picture His Own Photos,” Kersten Luts speaks with fine-art travel photographer Nico Trinkhaus about aphantasia, visual memory and the stories behind his remarkable cityscape photography.

Nico explains why photographs act as an external memory, how early experiments with HDR photography shaped his style, and how a lightning strike over Berlin’s Alexanderplatz transformed his photography career. He also shares the story of Europe Rising, a long-term travel photography project created in response to Brexit and photographed across Europe at sunrise.

The conversation then turns to photography copyright, image theft and PhotoClaim, the company Nico co-founded to help photographers protect their work. Nico discusses licensing, copyright infringement, AI-generated imagery and why photography still matters in an increasingly synthetic visual world.

Whether you enjoy landscape photography, architectural photography, videography or are building a photography business, this episode offers thoughtful creative inspiration and practical photography advice for photographers at every stage of their creative journey.

Step inside Origin Studios with award-winning photographer Ian Boichat for a candid conversation about dog photography, creative studio work and building a sustainable photography business.

Ian reveals how he developed his distinctive painterly and colourful pet portraits, why patience matters more than speed, and how he reads canine behaviour to capture genuine character. We explore practical studio photography techniques, from preparing the lighting before a dog enters the set to photographing black fur, energetic puppies and multiple dogs together.

This episode also goes beyond camera gear. Ian explains why the client experience is part of the finished artwork, how a purpose-built photography studio became a competitive advantage, and what changes when a personal pet portrait becomes a commercial photography campaign. He also shares honest advice about pricing, editing, marketing and the realities of working as a professional photographer.

Alongside the interview, a studio tour takes you behind the scenes of the sets, modifiers, props and spaces that make Origin Studios a flexible environment for photography and videography.

AI changed photography. Are photographers still needed—or does the human behind the camera matter more than ever?

In this episode of Camera Shake, Kersten Luts welcomes back director, photographer and digital imaging specialist Micah Burke to take an honest look at the state of AI in photography. Four years after their first conversation, generative AI has moved from novelty to production tool, reshaping photo editing, retouching, compositing, graphic design and AI video.

Micah shares workflows using Adobe Photoshop, Firefly, Stable Diffusion and generative video, while revealing where AI saves time—and where it creates extra work. They explore client expectations, brand consistency, copyright, computational photography and whether AI belongs inside cameras.

The conversation also asks the bigger questions: Can we still trust an image? Will Photoshop and photography skills become more valuable? What can a human photographer offer that a generator cannot? And where are opportunities for anyone building a photography business?

If you’re an amateur photographer, working professional, videographer or creative business owner, this thoughtful, funny and practical discussion will help you understand what is changing and how to adapt. Subscribe to Camera Shake for more honest conversations, and revisit Micah’s 2022 episode to see how quickly the future arrived.
