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.
We don't replace our primary cameras very often, but to meet increasing videos demands Tyler went with a new Sony, the a7RII. The long and short is that it's image quality is best in class with super sharp, high resolution images with lots of dynamic range in the shadows. The down side is lots of interface design problems, consumer level build quality and very slow image review.
Even natural light takes a lot of work, so we discuss the various ways to make any lighting situation work for you. How your city changes the light, using a reflector, modifying and on camera flash, and more!
One of Chris's creation for no reason
To start 2016 we are talking about ways to keep moving forward when you are out of ideas, and just don't feel like it. Also some follow up on the Film Toaster and Chris Dowsett sticks around for a few extra minutes to talk Star Wars.
In this podcast, we’ll discuss our new heroes, and how quickly we got to like them (pretty quickly). We’ll discuss our new villains, and particularly Kylo Ren and all of his fun-to-watch internal conflict, as well as how he compares to Darth Vader. We spend some time talking about potential character development, potential character backgrounds, and possible secrets- as well as which fan theories don’t matter (Rob even asserts we don’t care if Rey is related to another important Jedi). We break down the mirrored storyline form A New Hope, and its hits and occasional misses (Yeah, okay, it’s MUCH bigger than the Death Star, we’ll allow it.), as well as the characters in their new roles as echoes of the original trilogy.
Looking back at 2015 with our expert guest Jordan Drake of The Camera Store TV we had a funny mix of incredibly innovative and painfully dull camera technology. Most of our workhorse cameras were left unchanged, while whole new genres are being opened by others. Either way, it's great time to be a photographer!
