Sydney headshot photographers Sally Flegg, Luke Stambouliah, Kate Williams and Kurt Sneddon discuss photography, actors headshots, creativity, business and community.
Most photographers are taught to see other photographers as competition.
Protect your secrets. Don't share too much.
But what if that's completely backwards?
Between them, these photographers have spent decades photographing actors, creatives and professionals across Sydney, New York, Los Angeles and London, building some of the most recognized names in actors headshots.
In this special roundtable episode, Sally, Luke, Kate and Kurt sit down for an honest conversation about photography, creativity, business, actors headshots, community, and what it really takes to build a long-term career behind the camera.
We talk about:
How each of us got started in photography
The connection between actors and photographers
Technical training vs learning on the job
Pricing, business and building a sustainable career
Why photographers buy too much gear
Art school, creativity and finding your style
Imposter syndrome and self-doubt
Horror stories, unpopular opinions and lessons learned after 20+ years in the industry
A special mention also goes to Alex Vaughan, who was originally scheduled to join us for this roundtable but had to pull out due to a family commitment. Hopefully we'll get Alex on the podcast soon.
If you're a photographer who's ever felt isolated, overwhelmed, or like everyone else is ahead of you, this one's for you.
