Shoot Edit Chat Repeat

This is the final episode of series 2 and we're going out with a bang!

We went down to Brighton to chat to acclaimed wedding photographer and founder of the Photography Farm, Lisa Devlin.

We also have some special little guests on in the intro!

Lisa has been a photographer for over 25 years, starting her career as a celebrity music photographer, then moving into the world of alternative wedding photography 18 years ago.

We have a fascinating chat with Lisa and chat about the following:

• Why Lisa moved into wedding photography after over a decade of photographing celebrities & musicians
• Why Lisa made the transition from film to digital and why she's looking to make the switch to Sony now
• How Lisa thinks the photography has changed in the past 18 years and what trends she can see emerging
• Lisa's top 3 tips for new photographers
• What she wants to achieve with her new trade show and training, the Farmer's Market

Please note there is some strong language during the interview, so many pop your headphones in if you have little ears within earshot.

We invited Coaching Emily back onto the show for a second time as you all loved her so much in her first episode in Series 1 (episode 3).

As photographers and business owners, we have to spend a lot of time in front of screens, not only editing but also with all of the marketing and admin that comes with running a business.

We know lots of you struggle with this and we wanted to find out from Emily if we need to digitally detox our lives.

We have a really interesting conversation with Emily about our screen habits and how to change them for the better, we hope you enjoy it!
