We often hear about fashion and clothing stylists and even food stylists, but every bit as important is the prop stylist. The folks who curate all the finishing touches that give a shot its sense of time and place. Prop stylists are often the real behind the scenes heroes of the amazing images that we see in magazines and advertisements.
New York based Robin Zachary is a Prop stylist with experience at all levels of the creative process, from prop styling, to creative direction and even photography. With over 20 years of experience in the advertising capital of the world, I knew that Robin would be the perfect person to speak with to gain insight into the world of collaborating with prop stylists.

Wedding Photography. So many new photographers decide to shoot weddings because they think it is a sound money making genre. So many wedding photography businesses fail quickly because said photographers had no idea how much work is actually involved in shooting a wedding and running a wedding business. It takes a special person to not only be good at wedding photography, but also to be able to make it a full-time business that supports a family of 4.
This was not the case for my guest Mr. Joseph Ellis. Along with his wife Stephanie, Joseph has shot over 800 weddings in the last 20 years after transitioning to weddings from his early career as a photojournalist. Together, the couple owns and operates Big Wall Family Photography studio in Dallas, Texas.
Joseph shared some great advice for new wedding photographers and lots of details about how he works with wedding couples and the gear he uses.

I had a great conversation this week with Mr. Marc Silber. Marc is a life-long photographer, best-selling author three times over, filmmaker and host of the Advancing Your Photography YouTube series.
Marc started out learning darkroom skills and the basics of photography at the legendary Peninsula School in Menlo Park, CA, in the '60s. If you are not familiar with the Peninsula School, they are renowned for their no-grade approach to education and support of student collaboration, positive risk-taking, and creativity. Marc moved on to hone his skills to professional standards at the famed San Francisco Art Institute and has since moved into teaching photography in workshops all over the country.
One of the things I admire most about Marc is his dedication to education. Not just sharing his knowledge and experience, but his own continuing education, and you will see in his books, his videos, and even in our conversation, that he has a brilliant quote from an inspirational photographer for almost any situation.
But his quotes are not just focused on iconic names like Adams and Leibovitz. He also makes it a point to learn from new photographers. When I booked Marc to be on the podcast, he shared a list of things that he has recently learned from talking to budding photographers, and I thought that would make for a great conversation and provide some excellent teaching opportunities.

Who knew? Elopement Photography. I honestly didn't know it was a thing. I learned about this growing niche of wedding photography recently and in my search to find a great elopement photographer to speak with, I found an awesome photographer and entrepreneur — Brianna Parks.
Brianna is a 22-year-old California and Pacific Northwest elopement photographer who started a photography business after realizing a 9-5 job wasn't what she wanted to do with her life.
After two years of business in the traditional wedding scene, Brianna decided to take the leap and focus exclusively on elopements, or weddings with under 30 guests.
Her passion for her work is contagious and you will learn quite a bit from this young businesswoman — regardless of the genre of photography that you specialize in.

I want to have a chat about providing value and a great experience. This isn't JUST for professional photographers.
Regardless of the genre that you shoot, if you share your work online or get paid to take photographs, this conversation can help you. I am finding that there is quite a bit of confusion about what value really means.
So I'd like to share some of my experience with you, and I am hoping that you will share some of your thoughts with ME and the rest of the photography community in my Facebook Group.

I think it is fair to say that the exorbitant pricing for some new camera gear is driving the expansion and popularity of the secondhand market. It has been a very long time since I purchased use gear or sold any for that matter, so I wanted to reach out to an expert.
My conversation in this episode is with Mr. Phil Kaplan. Phil is the Product and Marketing Manager for KEH Camera in Atlanta, Georgia.
You may have heard of KEH or seen their ads online. KEH has been around since 1979 and they are the original reseller of professional, collectible, and everyday camera gear.
They have over 60,000 items in stock at any given time. Much of which is sold at up to 40% below retail, and they offer the KEH Gear Assurance Guarantee which is a 180-day warranty on most equipment.
I reached out to Phil because I knew he would give me the straight scoop on today’s used camera market and also provide us with some great tips for buying and selling used gear.

I have two guests with me this week, they are Ron Oren and Yotam Gil who are two of the three co-founders of the company ImagenAI which is based in Tel-Aviv, Israel.
On their website, ImagenAI is described as “Your personalized photo editing assistant”.
ImagenAI never stops learning every parameter of your personal editing style. This is not just a preset that gives your photos a certain look. It learns YOUR style and processes your images the way you would. The benefit - time - you save tons of time and even if you shoot for fun - time is money or the opportunity to do something that you love - instead of laboring through image processing.
