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.

PhotoNetCast #27 – HDR Photography

HDR photography is a technique that can compensate for the limitations of digital sensors to capture a wide dynamic range. In this episode we talk with Dave Wilson on his workflow in HDR photography.

HDR Photography

HDR imagery has been a popular trend since a few years. We have with us Dave Wilson to help us explore HDR imagery, including his workflow on the technique, from the capture to tone mapping and further processing. We also discuss the value of the technique in today’s imagery and how it can, at some point, be overused and “abused”. For anyone wanting to start using the technique, this is definitely a must-listen discussion. And as always, we also look at how to apply the technique with film.
