New niche unlocked! I chat to Hannah B all about birth photography after seeing her shoot a friends birth. I became fascinated that this was a niche that existed and so I wanted to know more all about it and how it works. We chat about human connection, being on call, what is in her kit bag for shooting a birth. All the ins and outs of being a birth photographer and what it entails for her and her business!

Todays guest is not a photographer! But rather someone who hires photographers/videographers. I'm chatting to Amber Carnegie who is a shoot producer working for the agency Rise at Seven. I wanted to ask her what she looks for when hiring photographers and how we can get our foot in the door of working on large scale or commercial shoots. A really insightful chat today that basically just stems down to being approachable and kind.

The first ever male guest on Photography AF today!
It's an episode all about artificial lighting for y'all so I knew I NEEDED to speak to Ben Bentley, Interfit ambassador, to talk us through lighting and some tips because he is an absolute master. We discuss how he started using lighting, his favourite modifiers, top tips to get you started with flash. There's nothing to be afraid of basically and we go through everything we possibly can when it is just audio.

In todays episode I chat to wedding photographer and videographer Leesha Williams. Leesha offers both services so we have a chat about how she makes that work, whether we think we need to offer both services and just a general chat about the uprise of video in weddings.
We then have a talk about our fave prompts and making sure we really gel with our clients! A good episode for anyone keen on more insight into the wedding industry.

In todays episode I chat to MXH Photos, AKA Mollie Hosmer, all about the topic of burnout and creative burnout and how we can prevent in when being a self employed person. We discuss boundaries, things we are newly implementing and just small things we do to now prevent us getting burnt out. I think this will be a key episode for a lot of you!

Todays episode, whilst chaotic, is a good one! I chat to non binary content creator Gwendolyn. We talk all about faking it until you make it and how most images we see online are faked and curated and how we go about doing it for brands. We also cover how faking images has been around since creating imagery even existed and how you did it back in the days of early film.
Bonus talks include faeries and conspiracy theories and paranormal activity.

The first interview of season 2 and it is with none other than beauty photographer extraordinaire Hanna Hillier. The photographer who is MY biggest inspiration so this episode is a real treat for everyone, but mainly me.

I mentioned it in episode 1 that episode 2 would be all things copyright and here we are. The easiest way to understand copyright without doing a law degree! What is copyright? What is copyright infringement? What do I do when people steal my photos? I answer it all right in this episode for you.

We're back baby yeah! Season 2!
What better start to a season than to talk about something I get A LOT of questions about which is usage rights. It's a hot mess of an episode and I can't apologise enough but I cover what usage rights are, different methods for charging for them and how you should be implementing them.

I mention the AOP calculator which can be found here: https://www.the-aop.org/information/usage-calculator

It's here. The final episode of season one. To end the season I have a wonderful chat with Michaela Tornaritis about her work, and to be honest we go into a lot of photography related tangents so you can tell we were fully loving just chatting and talking photography really. We talk about beauty, retouching, the gear we use, gut feelings, backing up work. A LOT! So there is no one thing we discuss. We just loved talking photography in general really.
