Does having a camera room/studio mean you’ve made it? 

In Episode 009, photographers David Patino and Ashton Staniszewski talk about the pros and cons of owning and running a studio space. David’s had a few and runs one now, Ashton used one in a past life and now misses it (sorta). 

They also tackle the subject of career milestones as creatives and how easy it is to fall into the pitfall that is the comparison game — you know the one.

Studios we mention: 

Tannery Studio — David runs this one. It’s rad. 

Power Plant Productions — Based in Philadelphia, PA. Incredible space, even better people. Tell ‘em Ashton and David sent you. 

Camera: 

Samsung S10 - Yup we talk about a $1600 phone. Light up those comments.
