In this episode, commercial photographer Wayne Johns joins me to discuss the idea of chasing the best camera “holy grail”. Manufacturers have ratcheted up their release schedules and it seems like a new amazing camera, lens or drone shows up every few months. But can our bank accounts sustain this? Should we be on this rapid release upgrade schedule? Or just be happy with what we have. Is there a happy medium?

We also cover the recent news about DJI’s employee corruption. A corporate disaster that could cost the company over 100 million dollars. What does this mean to drone fanatics? What does this mean for the competition?

In this interview, the podcasting legend Ibarionex Perello joins to discuss his new book "Making Photographs". We discuss the idea of "seeing" as a photographer and moving away from the gear obsession and towards getting better at your craft.

Ibarionex Perello is a photographer, writer, educator, and host of The Candid Frame photography podcast. He has over 25 years of experience in the photographic industry.

In his role as host and producer of The Candid Frame, he conducts frank, insightful interviews with some of the industry’s top established and emerging photographers. The popular show has featured guests including Jay Maisel, Joel Meyerowitz, Pete Turner, Lynn Goldsmith, and Gerd Ludwig, and it enjoys a following among photo enthusiasts from all over the world.

Ibarionex is also the author or co-author of six books, including his latest Making Photographs: Developing a Personal Visual Workflow. His photographs and articles have appeared in numerous publications and websites including Digital Photo Pro, Outdoor Photographer, Rangefinder, Shutterbug, and Popular Photography.

He lives in the Los Angeles area with his wife and their dog Zooey.

In Making Photographs, photographer Ibarionex Perello teaches you how to face and conquer two of the greatest challenges for a photographer: to consistently make good images and to see the photographic possibilities all around you.

Ibarionex shares the approach and techniques he’s honed over the last 15 years while conducting workshops and teaching photography courses to countless students of the craft. The key to this approach is to develop and implement a visual workflow that allows you to create a repeatable process for your photography. This workflow revolves around the four “visual draws”—light and shadow, line and shape, color, and gesture. As Ibarionex discusses each of these visual draws, you’ll learn how to move beyond merely “looking” at the world around you to “seeing” photographic possibilities at every turn. It is this act of seeing that gives photography its magic—and that gives you the vital tool you need to improve your work. Rather than simply taking pictures, you’ll begin making photographs.

Ibarionex also covers topics such as exposure, composition, preparation, lighting, the role of emotion, culling your images, self-assessment, and post-processing. He presents the stories behind his photographs, which reveal his thought process as he works through a scene; shares some of his successes, failures, discoveries, and breakthroughs; and includes assignments and challenges to inspire and motivate you to put these principles into immediate action in your photography.

In this interview, I sit down with Karen Hutton and Anton Lorimer, the two amazing artists behind the newly released Smugmug film titled “Framing the Journey”. We discuss the inception of the film, shooting on location, and producing world-class work with a very small team.

Karen Hutton finds inspiration when she lets the environment around her completely consume her. It’s then she can translate her experience, the feelings, colors, and textures into a photograph. This perpetual search for the profound and the awe-inspiring has been the essence of her entire career.

“My photography is about a philosophy,” Hutton says. “It’s about the world, about life, and all the possibilities that exist in between.”

https://youtu.be/aDtTV20umwQ

SmugMug’s newest film follows Hutton on a journey through the picturesque landscapes of Slovenia – from the intimate seaside town of Piran, to the haunting waters of Lake Bled, up through the crisp ranges of the Julian Alps. “Framing the Journey” unveils both the epic beauty of a charming country tucked between Italy and Croatia and the wonder of the artist experiencing it all for the first time.

Anton Lorimer, a cinematographer, director, and editor for SmugMug Films, partnered with FUJIFILM and leveraged DJI’s Mavic 2 drone to deliver “Framing the Journey” in sharp, 4K resolution. Just in time to inspire a sense of renewal in the new year, join Hutton as she captures the rich variety of tones, shades, and textures of Slovenia’s landscapes.

In this episode, I'm joined by two creatives — who coincidentally both happen to originate from Austrailia. Matt Granger and Lee Herbet join the show to discuss some of their learnings from having traveled the globe shooting stills and video, teaching workshops and more. We'll get into some of the nitty-gritty around how you can ensure you are taking exactly what you need on your next trip, how to keep your stuff safe, and how not to over (or under) pack, and much more. We've done a few shows like this in the past, but things have changed; cameras are smaller, drones are here and more. It's time to revisit this topic for the new year!

With the constant deluge of amazing photographs online, photographers are struggling to find new and exciting ways to differentiate their work. Troy Christopher Plota is a co-founder of Plotaverse — software designed to allow you to add animation to your still photographs. He believes the next wave of creativity will come from motion art.

In this interview, we discuss Troy's software, his vision for the future, and how motion art is changing the way some photographers tell stories.
