I Dream of Cameras

Episode 14 • How We Shoot


Listen Later

In this episode, the hosts turn the lens on themselves, examining their shooting styles, methods and subject matter.

Jeff asks Gabe about his portraiture work:

How did you get started doing portraiture work? Seems to be your favorite mode of photography - is it?

How did the word get out? - models now tag you when they're coming to town

How do you prepare? - choosing cameras, film stocks, location, wardrobe, looks

Model releases - do you get 'em? What are the terms of your agreement with them? Do you charge for them to use your stuff, pay them for the session, or is it a favor by you/them?

Do you shoot mostly men, women or a mix? Do you have a preference?

How do you direct and work with your subject?

Does mom or dad or manager or publicist ever attend the shoot?

How long is a session? What's the ideal length?

How do you cull, how many images do you show them?

If a shot is published, what do you get? What's the best placement you've ever gotten?

You don't have to name names, but talk about your best session ever... and your worst

Gabe asks Jeff about his photos of "plants and buildings":

What’s your favorite subject to shoot?

How often do you think about shooting?

Is there a camera you take with you more than others?

How do you make the decision of what camera to bring?

Will you approach people to shoot?

What camera do you bring that’s always been a conversation starter?

How do you decide what film stock to use?

How often do you shoot and then go home right away and process?

Where are your favorite places to go take pictures?

What is your favorite travel camera?

How many rolls of film will you bring to shoot?

Do friends ever ask you to take pictures?

Has anyone asked you to do a wedding?

What are you thinking about when you’re shooting? Framing? Exposure? Bokeh?
