A podcast for the working photographer. Veterans of iStockphoto and creators of Stocksy United bring you a photography podcast for pros. We take a deep look at running a photography business, the gear we nerd out over, and what motivates us to turn pictures into a career. We talk about stock photography, cameras, lenses, fashion photography, street style, social media and a healthy dose of whatever.
This week we share some thoughts about getting the most out of shooting Kodak’s Ektar film. We then dive into some advanced Lightroom asset strategy after doing some catalog spring cleaning, focusing on import metadata and adding general keywords so you can better manage your collections. We also discuss geo-tracking using GPS. Finally, Cameron dishes on which albums you should probably be listening to right now.
Chris Dowsett is back to talk to Tyler about NAB coming up, the crossover of photography and video production, and shooting 360 VR video. Behold, the future!
We set out with no direction in mind this photography talk and explore backup, film cameras, flickr and Alien Bees. Actually most of this episode belongs in 2005.
Flickr group pools - Fuji GA645, Contax T2, Nikon F5, Portra film, Pakon F135 scanner
Putting some work in upfront can payoff big time. Kirk Mastin, of Mastin Labs joins Cameron and I to talk about the value planning before you shoot, looking ahead at the longterm with bigger projects, shooting film and the power of constraints in photography.

Taking a look back at the history of stock photography, how it shaped the photo industry, and where it's going. To some people it destroyed their business plans and for others it open the door to a career they could only dream of. Also Tyler got his film back from California, and Cameron got a new toy!
