Ep. #168 - Halloween Spooktacular 2020 Get Out and Vote

This podcast, like aspirin, will help you recover from your wedding hangover.

Comedy

Dustin and Steve talk about life as a wedding photographer when you have a child surprise in the middle of wedding season. Okay, not a child surprise. This isn't the Witcher... but an unexpected bundle of joy nonetheless. They also talk about how you should react if a client doesn't really want you at the wedding. As well as the pains of shooting a wedding video solo when things like card reading are brought up on the day of the wedding, moments before the ceremony as something the client wants to do before the ceremony. It's a tough week.

Beer Talk:
Steve - Fuity Nuggets X2 by 450 North Brewing Company
Dustin - All Day IPA by Founders brewing Company

Q&A:
Why do clients still ask to see examples of photographer's work when photographers post their work everywhere online?
How long did you keep shooting weddings after getting pregnant? How long after childbirth till you started shooting again? How did you feel?
What considerations do you need to make before having an associate shooter work for you?

Ep. #186 - How Long Can You Shoot Weddings While Pregnant? with special guest Jennifer Van Elk

This week we talk about how Dustin tried to murder Steve in cold blood but make it look like an accident. I don't know what else there is to write about here... Lightroom Masks, I guess? Steve almost died for this episode art. Wake up people, Dustin attempted to murder him. Why isn't anyone calling the cops? Does no one read these show notes? A man's life is on the line.


Beer Talk:

Steve - Fruity Nuggets 2x by 450 North Brewing Company

Dustin - DDH Ever Clear by Bearded Iris


Q&A;:

What would you do if another photographer hired you for a shoot and then lied about how the shoot went as a marketing ploy for their business?

How do you respond to clients asking for discounts because they went on too many vacations?

Should you supply RAW files to corporate clients?

Ep. #184 - A Very 2021 Thanksgiving Special

This week Steve and Dustin talk to Kathy Netti and Mollie Beach of Kodak Professional about Kodak Professional Select. This is a new software/service from Kodak Professional that helps photographers cull their photo shoots quickly by using AI to group photos and surface the best photos, so that you don't have to look at all the photos where your subjects are blinking. Kodak Professional Select also helps you cull details too by grouping photos of objects in a similar way to how it does photos of people, so you can pick out the most in focus, best looking detail shots from your wedding day too. Steve and Dustin also pitch some pretty great ideas to Kathy and Mollie for Kodak Professional to use going off the basis of this amazing technology, like a special Midnight Edition of the software.


If you want to sign up to use Kodak Professional Select just head over to http://www.kproselect.com/ to sign up for your free 30 day trial today.
