PhotoNetCast #92 – Doing Your Own Thing

In this episode we have a good conversation on how to do your own thing in photography and defining your photographic style.

Defining your photographic style

 

In this episode Antonio Marques, Sean Galbraith, Bob Lussier and Scott Kivowitz engage in a discussion about defining style in photography, how to develop one and finding inspiration from other photographic works and bodies of work to help photographers learn while introducing individuality into their work. What do you think? Does photographic style still exist?

In the news, the megapixel wars rages on with the new Canon 5DS and 5DSR, Nikon releases a super niche D810a, Scott introduces a perfect Nikon mirrorless full frame and the darkroom comes to the iPhone.

No time for listener questions, so we’ll have a few more on the next episode.

For now, enjoy the show…

PhotoNetCast #87 – Highlights from Photokina 2014

In this episode we discuss some of the highlights from this year’s Photokina announcements.

Highlights from one of the largest photography industry shows – Photokina 2014

 

Every two years, Cologne, Germany, is stage for one of the biggest (if not the biggest) photography industry shows. Thousands or visitors and delegates fill the halls with so much gear that being there is like an gambling addict being dropped in the middle of Vegas…

Anyway, the rumours and announcements abound in the days leading to the event.

In this episode we take a look not at rumours, but at some of the announcements from this year’s show.

Enjoy the show…

PhotoNetCast #42 – Social Media for Photographers

In the show we frequently approach the topic of social media: how and why photographers should be part of the social revolution.

Social Media for Photographers

 

In the show we frequently approach the topic of social media and how we are using it. Even here on the show, PhotoNetCast is active on twitter.

My guess is that besides the common downfall of "wasted time", there aren’t many disadvantages for a photographer to be active with social media networks and share their knowledge with a wider audience.

To help us with our discussion, we invited Jack Hollingsworth (@photojack on twitter). Jack, a photographer for over 30 years mainly in the stock photography business, is one of the most active photographers on the popular social network, and explains how he uses it, shares some tips on how to best use it, and why being absent will mean "not existing" in the near future.

Before we got into the main topic, we had the opportunity to discuss some relevant news topics like the announced acquisition of Picnik by Google, the fact that Canon was absent from PMA and the polemic disqualification of an awarded image from Word Press Photo awards 2010.

If you enjoy the show and appreciate our effort, help us spread the word about PhotoNetCast.

And thanks once again to Jack for his time on this one.
