  • Balancing Client Needs and Creativity in Photography with Chris Britton
    2025/01/02

    #525 In this episode of the podcast, I chat with Chris Britton, a talented photographer and father who juggles family life with his passion for capturing moments. Chris beautifully articulates the balance between creative freedom and client expectations, the importance of being present, and overcoming social media pressures.

    THE BIG IDEAS

    • Balance Creativity and Client Desires: Blend your artistic vision with client needs to create compelling images that satisfy both parties.
    • Be Present in the Moment: Stay engaged and mindful during shoots to capture authentic, meaningful photographs.
    • Overcome Social Media Pressure: Focus on personal growth and expression rather than social media metrics like likes and shares.
    • Embrace Imperfection: Accept noise and other imperfections as part of the creative process, enhancing your willingness to experiment.

    PHOTOGRAPHY ACTION PLAN

    1. Stay Present in Your Shoots: Turn off notifications during photo sessions to minimize distractions. Take a moment to breathe and observe your surroundings before pressing the shutter.
    2. Experiment with Light and Color: Use natural window light to explore different moods and effects. Try adding warm tones in Lightroom by adjusting the color temperature or using split toning.
    3. Blend Creativity and Practicality: Plan a family photoshoot with a mix of candid and posed shots to practice balancing client and personal creativity. Set specific creative goals for each shoot, such as trying new compositions or lighting setups.
    4. Improve Your Technical Skills: Spend time learning to control shutter speed and aperture to tell clearer stories. Experiment with different ISO settings to find the balance between reducing noise and maintaining image quality.
    5. Enhance Your Post-Processing Consistency: Calibrate your monitor using built-in tools or a dedicated calibration device to ensure color accuracy. Create a preset in Lightroom that matches your preferred style for easy and consistent editing.

  • 523: Business of Photography Mega Episode: Build A Business with Confidence
    2024/12/24

    In this episode of the podcast, we learn from photographers Shane Wilkie, Rachael Boer, Connor Walberg, Sandra Coan, and Brian Leahy. They share their experiences on overcoming imposter syndrome, the importance of SEO in growing your photography business, and the value of persistence and community support.

    THE BIG IDEAS

    • Overcoming Imposter Syndrome: Authenticity and self-belief are at the heart of successful photography. Sandra Coan and Rachael Boer emphasize the importance of confidence and the value of seeking mentorship.
    • The Power of Networking: Brian Leahy's journey demonstrates that meaningful relationships with clients and vendors often matter more than technical skills. Networking can open doors to opportunities you wouldn't have otherwise.
    • SEO for Photographers: Connor Walberg explains the critical role of effective SEO strategies, including the use of Google My Business and authentic content, to help your work get discovered online.
    • Persistence Pays Off: Both Shane Wilkie and Sandra Coan highlight persistence as key to overcoming early struggles. Continuous learning and adapting are crucial for long-term success in the photography business.

    PHOTOGRAPHY ACTION PLAN

    1. Upgrade Your Online Presence: Set up or optimize your Google My Business profile. Ensure you are using keywords and locality to improve your search rankings.
    2. Build Your Network: Dedicate time each week to network with other photographers, vendors, and clients. Attend industry events or join local photography groups to expand your contacts.
    3. Seek Constructive Feedback: Find a mentor or join a critique group to get valuable feedback on your work. Constructive criticism will help you grow and refine your skills.
    4. Focus on Authentic Content: Create blog posts or social media content that authentically documents your experiences and learnings. Genuine storytelling resonates more with your audience.
    5. Invest in Continuing Education: Take a comprehensive online course or attend a workshop to sharpen your technical skills and business acumen. Immediate skills application can rapidly improve your confidence and capabilities.
