May 09, 2023 Lessons From ONT8 with Terrence Haynes Junior
Summary
For two years friend and guest for this episode Terrence Haynes Jr. and Daniel worked in Amazon’s ONT8 Photo Studio, until Daniel left Amazon for Farfetch and T stayed with Amazon as their studio was folded into a new flagship studio just south of downtown Los Angeles. ONT8 was a pretty scrappy studio, mostly being made up of any equipment we could scavenge from other studios storage areas. T and I worked closely together on everything from developing new tools for difficult to style products, to planning and booking talent.

May 02, 2023Portfolio Review and Advice with Karen Williams
Summary
Joining Daniel on the podcast is Karen Williams of Black Visual Queen, which is both her brand and a title given her 10 years of experience as art director, producer, editor, and curator at companies like Masterclass, Barron’s and Netflix.
Recently Karen posted some advice on LinkedIn to help photographers more effectively showcase themselves to creative directors and producers seeking out talent for their next project. We already had time booked with Karen but had to change topics shortly before our recording session, and we thought it would be helpful for the photographers in our audience to go a little more in depth.

April 25, 2023 How Do We Solve a Problem Like Hard Goods? with Caitlin Andrews of Creative Force
Summary
Our guest for this episode is Caitlin Andrews. Caitlin and Daniel are colleagues at Creative Force and they realized recently that we both come from similar backgrounds in the e-commerce creative production space. Caitlin spent close to 10 years prior to joining Creative Force working for Snap36, working with robotic photography systems to capture 360 spin assets for a variety of brand clients. Much of that time was with hard goods, which is where our experiences intersect. For two years Daniel worked at a small start up studio for Amazon product imaging, where about 80% of their volume came from hard goods (typically defined as anything that isn’t apparel, shoes, or fashion accessories). In this episode of the podcast we compare notes on unique challenges we encountered in our various roles and how we overcame them.

April 18, 2023 Flash Back: Process vs. Product with Scott Willson of Patagonia
Summary
We’ve been thinking a lot about planning ever since the recent Creative Force webinar on editorial production. Specifically how planning differs from editorial to product photography. On the editorial side, you know when you start a project you’ll need photo, video, h/mu, styling etc. for a set number of days. Running an ecomm studio adds an element to that, the idea of carryover. How much product will I have left over at the end of the day, and what does that mean for staffing tomorrow, or next week? All of this thinking about planning reminded us of this conversation with Scott Willson of Patagonia, specifically when he talks about how a well functioning, efficient studio often looks like things are running smoothly and easily. Due in no small part to planning. Let’s flash back to Episode 24, process vs. product with Scott Willson of Patagonia.

April 11, 2023 The Peak of Product Imaging with Joe Polifrone
Summary
Joining Daniel for this episode of the podcast is talented photographer and studio operations leader Joe Polifrone. In this episode the pair reminisce about working for Amazon circa 2016 at what was likely the peak of the Product Imaging organization. They worked in a studio of over 20,000sf (over 1800sm for our European listeners) that employed hundreds of people during peak seasons. They talk about how this particular studio was mind blowing, futuristic and so incredibly efficient at moving high volumes of product for not only handbags and apparel, but jewelry and watch as well.

Our guest for this episode is Dan Hyde, creative production and ecommerce strategy consultant, to talk about this.

March 14, 2023 Photo Studio Ops Live (sort of) with Josie Diamond of John Lewis
Summary
Last week we were in London for Photo Studio Operations put on by Henry Stewart. Creative Force sponsored the event and we used our speaking opportunity to record a live episode of the podcast. And we did, we totally did. Our guest Josie Diamond and I had a great conversation, we got some good questions from the audience. But somewhere between recording the session, and getting the files onto my computer, I lost them. Whether it was my fault or something errored with my travel recorder, I lost those recordings. Thankfully Josie was kind enough to take a few minutes to rerecord the session out in the hotel lobby. I’m disappointed we don’t have the original audio to share, but here is our Live Episode from Henry Stewart
