As most of our work is from photographing and filming weddings and probably most of the people in this community are doing the same we usually discuss topics around hybrid shooting weddings. But hybrid shooting can provide so many opportunities for photography and videography work outside of weddings. 

In this episode we discuss how you can increase your revenue and create greater financial security by diversifying the work we do and incorporating photo and video into what we offer to those clients making us more likely to be hired.

In this rather ramble-esk  episode, I explain how I found out through a Facebook poll that it no longer really matters if you are a photographer or videographer, you can capture/create/post whatever you like and it is totally acceptable! 

Does this mean there is no line in the sand anymore? Is there no distinction between your role or job at a wedding or on a commercial project? Can you literally just please yourself despite what you were hired to do? I am not sure....but according to a fairly large sized response to a question of our peers here in the UK, this appears to be the case. 

I do think this is a great piece of evidence that attitudes towards hybrid content creation is changing and that everyone has started to shift their mindsets to a different way of doing things. Here is to the future of lines becoming even more blurred when it comes to photography, videography, filmmaking and creating content!

In the first of our mini, midweek episodes we highlight some of the reasons you might not want to offer Hybrid Photography/Videography. 

We think it is important to provide a balanced view as Hybrid shooting may not be the right fit for all visual creatives.

In this episode we are discussing the reasons why you should consider developing your skills as a hybrid photography and videography creator. We talk about our personal experiences since we started our photography and videography business, as well as sharing experiences of other people and our observations of how the industry has changed in recent years.

We talk about the consumer demand for multi-skilled photographers and videographers for weddings and commercial projects. How that demand has been influenced and fuelled by advances in technology and how evolving our businesses can help to give us a competitive edge moving forwards.

In this episode we are looking at how photography and filmmaking began and how they have evolved over time so that we can make predictions on where the mediums of photo and video are going. 

For a couple of hundred years the progress made in image capture and preservation was relatively slow, but in the past 20 years the industry has changed beyond recognition. The speed at which technology is now changing the way we can view/watch images or videos is fuelling the appetite for visual content in a way that it never has before. 

It is changing the format, mediums and methods that we consume audio visual content. It is influencing artistic and aesthetic styles, and it is changing peoples priorities when it comes to expression and creation. 

Where is the industry going? Are photography and videography still separate mediums/processes? Will they continue to be in the future?

In the first proper episode since we changed the name of the podcast we discuss a little bit of background in regards to hybrid shooting and our journey from offering a single service (photography or videography) to offering both together at weddings or to commercial clients. 

We talk about the experience we have had of adapting to providing both still and moving images, and we go through an overview of how we do this on a typical wedding day. 

This episode is a must listen if you are considering (or have considered) providing both wedding photography and videography together. We give you a great starting point to see how this can work really well at weddings whether you are a team of two or a solo shooter and that the key to success is preparation and setting expectations with your wedding couples. 

So if you are a wedding photographer or a wedding videographer we hope this gives you a great starting point when it comes to learning how to shoot Hybrid at weddings.

Yes, after recording 62 episodes we have decided to change the name of the podcast. You could say this is a terrible decision, but there is a really good reason that you can hear part of in the previous episode (62) and we will be discussing in the next episode when we dive into a full episode of the new format. 

Hybrid photography and videography is growing exponentially. We can see this in all aspects of what we do from the wedding days, to the enquiries and the general business functions like marketing. No longer is video an add on, video is becoming as important as taking stills to both our couples and to us as business owners. 

We want to create a place to discuss things that cover both photo, video and how we will use the tools we have and the skills we can learn to be able to do both of them to a high standard. This is a place to innovate, adapt and a space to do that with no judgement or negativity. This will be a place for you (and us) to grow. We hope you com join us. 

For now, here is an introduction to the new name and we hope you will continue to listen. Thank you!

Jules & Lyndsey
