PhotoNetCast #63 – Value of Photography as Collectible Art and some gift ideas

On this episode we talk photography spending habits, value of photography as collectible art and give you a few suggestions for Christmas gifts.

 

Welcome to another episode of your photography podcast.

Today we take a look at the results of our poll on our listeners’ photography spending habit. We also mention a new 500px export plugin for lightroom, bash Getty Images yet again for their cuts to photographers’ royalty percentages, and discuss photography as collectible art after the record-breaking $4,338,500 value reached at auction for “Rhein II”, a gigantic print by Andreas Gursky.

On this topic, while I like the idea of photography being sold for such prices, and getting the recognition it deserves as collectible art, there is the question of the perceived vs real value of such a print. What are your thoughts on this? Do you think the prices will go up or drop due to the amounts of photography on the market? Let us know on the comments below or record your comment as mp3 and email it to photonetcast at photonetcast.com

 

If you’re still looking for that perfect Christmas gift (maybe for yourself?), we have compiled a list of 16 suggestions for items that we recommend, and chosen to fit every budget.

Got any more gift suggestions? Drop them in the comments…

For now, enjoy the show…

PhotoNetCast #56 – The Art and Business of HDR Photography, with Trey Ratcliff

On this episode we have with us Trey Ratcliff on a long but inspirational conversation about the art and business of HDR photography.

Episode #56 is (finally) out.

On this episode we have Trey Ratcliff as guest, the one of THE HDR tutorial, talking about his progress in photography and his story from his initial days in HDR to the recognition, trust and respectability Trey has in the HDR world and photography in general.

Besides the normal topics expected from a conversation in HDR photography, we also dip into business models and how a profitable business can be created from HDR photography.

This was a very inspiring conversation and one I’d really recommend you to take the time to listen. I’m sure you’ll take something out of it that you can apply on your own vision, creativity and photography journey in general.

I’ll also take the opportunity to thank Trey, the co-hosts involved in this episode and all the listeners that followed us live during this recording for everyone’s patience – we were plagued by technical issues at the beginning that delayed the recording by much longer than it should have.

We have some codes for Photo Verse (iPhone) and PixelSync (iPad) to share with our listeners. If you’re interested, send us an email stating the name of the app you are interested in on the subject. A week after the show is published we’ll randomly select the winners.
