Craig, in his own words...

I am a photographer and educator located in San Jose, CA.

I love taking photographs and am most happy when my finger is on the shutter button. My primary focus is using the human body as art. I express this in many forms but my goal is to use the body to mimic the shapes and curves that are found in nature. They might be the gentle slope of a sand dune, a curve of a rock, or the rolling hills of a mountain range. I tend towards abstracting the body shapes so the viewer isn’t always sure at first glance if the image contains a body or not.

My passion is photography and I love sharing that passion with others. If you love photography as much as I do, you are in the right place.

Renee Robyn joins the show to discuss her latest creative wizardry. Renee is no stranger to controversy, and her latest brilliant body of work is sure to spark an uprising of the prudes, puritans and pitchforks.

About Renee Robyn:

Growing up surrounded by the vast prairie of the Canadian north and tales of faraway places, Renée Robyn has chased the perfect backdrop around the world. Approaching photography like a treasure hunter, her compositions are uniquely cinematic, often becoming pieces of a bigger world represented beyond reality. Renée’s style is easily recognizable and distinctly her own. Expertly blending fact, fiction, and a little digital alchemy, she has worked with industry-leading brands like Adobe, Wacom, Corel, Capture One, and Intel.

Comfortable facing down gale force winds, climbing fog-shrouded mountains or fast pace commercial studios, her work is impressive and committed. An expert retoucher, Renée applies the same level of commitment to post-processing leveraging her mastery of color theory, editing, light, and shadow in the digital realm of Photoshop. Renée travels full-time, shooting for commercial and fine art clients.

Professional destination wedding photographer Robert Evans joins the show to give us a look inside the current state of the industry. Is it booming, or busted!

Ian Shive joins the podcast to discuss his journey as a photographer and how (and why) he founded the stock agency Tandem Stock. These journeys led to projects such as Ian documenting the world’s most untouched islands for his “Hidden Pacific” project.

We discuss the role of wildlife photography in conservation efforts and how it helps educate the public about climate change. And why he decided to partner with Adobe to share his inspiring outdoor photography with the global creative community.
