Mark and Kam open the doors to the bar again and are in full flow starting off with an interesting story of a photographer who refuses to an accept an award by being open and honest...but would you do the same? As photographers we are always trying to improve on what we do, we experiment with different ideas, we use others for inspiration and discover new techniques so learning is never ending no matter how experienced we are. Negative Space is often an overlooked form of composition so we look at this technique. Do you know what the UK speed camera sign looks like and can you accurately explain it's design?     Loving the Podcast? Want More?

Sarah and Kam talk about one of the things freelance photograhers struggle to cope with and that's having a regular income with regular work.  It was mentioned a few episodes ago that 80% of photography start-ups failed in the first year and the main reason for that is most likely photographers were not getting enough work. BUT we tell you how you CAN get regular work and be sure of a regular annual income! To help us do this we are joined for this episode by Ian Hatch who is a Coach & Mentor supporting & advising the Photography Industry. He also runs MOFOTO a school/nursery photo social media group. So if you're a photographer looking for regular work you don't want to miss this show!

The first part of this show is serious topic where we look at a 2022 report on the mental health of photographers.   The report was compiled by Scott Wyden Kivowitz of ImagenAI where he explores in detail all the ways that being a photographer affects your mental health: the amount of work, business vs. family time, difficult clients, and more. And what’s essential – he also discusses why and how to seek help when you need it.   This time of year can be a very quiet time for photographers so we look at the tasks everyone should carrying out in preparation for the new year.    Is your laptop performing as it should be? We look at the best editing laptops currently on the market and how a social photographer's new marketing strategy has caused a bit of a stir.   Loving the Podcast? Want More?

This week’s episode was sparked by a chat we had whilst on a shoot last week where we discussed the topic of Creativity Vs Saleability and how closely you listen to a client and their vision. Ukraine is sadly very much on our minds, and we chat about the power, emotion and messages being conveyed by the images we are all seeing. Inspiration…we all need it from time to time and Kam discusses how inspired he recently felt after working with Mark, so much so that he is now seriously considering jumping ship to Canon! Yes….it’s true….it could happen! On a more serious note Kam has always believed in moving with the times and his business has survived for many years as he’s continued to invest in new techniques and ideas, but working with Mark recently was the most inspired he’s felt by someone for over 10 years.
