I had the privilege of sitting down with one of the world’s top commercial photographers, Karl Taylor. Going into this conversation, I wasn’t sure which direction it would take. Speaking with someone who has such an extraordinary depth of knowledge is both exciting and challenging. I wondered how to guide the discussion, but as always, conversations like this tend to find their own course. It is like sailing, you never quite know which way the wind will carry you.What unfolded was truly one for the books. I don’t think I have ever gone so deep into the subject of photography with any guest before. Karl didn’t just talk about cameras, lenses, or even lighting techniques. He took me to the very core of the art. Together, we explored photography from a scientific perspective, delving into how the human brain processes images, how evolution has shaped the way we see the world, and how we interpret colors, shadows, and light.It was a fascinating journey into the foundations of human vision and the way it influences our perception of photography today. This conversation not only opened my eyes to new ways of thinking about the craft but also made me reflect on the profound connection between science, perception, and art.Karl and I have already agreed that this will not be our last discussion. There is so much more to explore. If you want to understand photography on a level you have probably never experienced before, this is a conversation you will not want to miss.I invite you to join me for this remarkable exchange with Karl Taylor, and experience photography through a lens you have never looked through before.►https://karltaylor.com►https://www.instagram.com/karltaylorphotography/►https://www.instagram.com/visualeducationstudio/►hhttps://visualeducation.com/live/►hhttps://karltaylor.com/shop►https://karltaylor.com/events-workshops► Subscribe to My Channel Here: http://www.youtube.com/c/RafalWegiel​​​ ►Website: http://www.rafalwegiel.com​​​ ►Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rafalwegiel​​​ ►Twitter: https://twitter.com/rafalwegiel​​​ ►Instagram: http://instagram.com/rafalwegiel​​​ ►Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rafalwegiel

Today, I had the privilege of once again sitting down with the incredible Sissela Johansson on my podcast.Our previous conversation felt like we had paused it midway, leaving so much more to explore, so we decided to return and continue the journey. As always, our discussion reached profound depths, diving into the deeper meaning of photography. We focused on the psychological aspects of working with subjects and explored human nature through the photographer’s lens.It was fascinating to see how naturally our conversation flowed into these meaningful, often unspoken areas of artistic creation—topics rarely discussed among photographers. I am deeply grateful to Sissela for guiding this journey into places we seldom go, reminding us that creating images is only part of the process. Understanding ourselves and our subjects is what gives true clarity to the art of photography.From there, we shifted into the business side, discussing the delicate balance between creating and selling—a challenge many photographers face. This part of the conversation is one you will not want to miss.Thank you, Sissela, for another inspiring discussion. Once again, it feels as though our conversation is far from over, and I have no doubt we will return to it in the future.I invite you to join me in this engaging and thought-provoking dialogue with the one and only Sissela Johansson.►https://www.sisselajohansson.com►https://www.instagram.com/sissela.johansson►https://dk.pinterest.com/photographybysissela/►https://www.facebook.com/sissela.rnholt.johansson►https://www.facebook.com/PhotographybySissela► Subscribe to My Channel Here: http://www.youtube.com/c/RafalWegiel​​​ ►Website: http://www.rafalwegiel.com​​​ ►Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rafalwegiel​​​ ►Twitter: https://twitter.com/rafalwegiel​​​ ►Instagram: http://instagram.com/rafalwegiel​​​ ►Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rafalwegiel
