June 29, 2021I dream of Cameras #14 How We Shoot
Episode 14 • How We Shoot

In this episode, the hosts turn the lens on themselves, examine their shooting styles, methods and subject matter.

Jeff asks Gabe about his portraiture work:
How did you get started doing portraiture work? Seems to be your favorite mode of photography - is it?
How did the word get out? - models now tag you when they're coming to town
How do you prepare? - choosing cameras, film stocks, location, wardrobe, looks
Model releases - do you get 'em? What are the terms of your agreement with them? Do you charge for them to use your stuff, pay them for the session, or is it a favor by you/them?
Do you shoot mostly men, women or a mix? Do you have a preference?
How do you direct and work with your subject?
Does mom or dad or manager or publicist ever attend the shoot?
How long is a session? What's the ideal length?
How do you cull, how many images do you show them?
If a shot is published, what do you get? What's the best placement you've ever gotten?
You don't have to name names, but talk about your best session ever... and your worst
Gabe asks Jeff about his photos of "plants and buildings":
What’s your favorite subject to shoot?
How often do you think about shooting?
Is there a camera you take with you more than others?
How do you make the decision of what camera to bring?
Will you approach people to shoot?
What camera do you bring that’s always been a conversation starter?
How do you decide what film stock to use?
How often do you shoot and then go home right away and process?
Where are your favorite places to go take pictures?
What is your favorite travel camera?
How many rolls of film will you bring to shoot?
Do friends ever ask you to take pictures?
Has anyone asked you to do a wedding?
What are you thinking about when you’re shooting? Framing? Exposure? Bokeh?

June 14, 2021 I dream of Cameras #13The Purge (feat. Danielle Wrobleski)
You’ve heard of Marie Kondo — meet Marie Nikondo! In this wildly entertaining episode, Jeff forces Gabe to remorselessly thin out his camera collection by posing the following questions:

1. What purpose does the camera fulfill?
2. Do I have a set home for this camera?
3. Am I showing enough gratitude toward the camera?
4. Does the camera spark joy?

After Guy With Too Many Cameras, we speak to Girl With Too Many Cameras, Danielle Wrobleski, a Milwaukee-based photographer who spotlights female shooters with the hashtag #WomenWithFilmWednesday.

June 01, 2021 I dream of Cameras #12 The Hosts Gave Us Cameras
In this episode, we interview Fred Coury (composer of our theme song) and Keith Greenstein (designer of our logos, website and merch) about the vintage analog cameras we gave them a few months ago — a Rolleiflex 3.5 for Fred, and an Olympus OM-1 for Keith. It’s both enlightening and hilarious to hear these two bright, creative guys describe their very first excursions into the world of analog photography.

• with the demise of FP-3000b, what's your current feeling about Polaroid and the future of instant photography?
