Real Estate Photography with Michael James

 

For the first episode of 2012 we have the pleasure of talking with Real Estate photographer Michael James.

Michael James - Digitalcoastimage.comMichael, based in northwest Florida, came to real estate photography out of his own need for quality property imagery and found a niche that, according to him, is far from dead.

During the conversation we talk about the difficulties faced while shooting interiors, Michael’s approaches to lighting, workflow, gear, assembling a portfolio, etc. According to Dave, this “seemed more like a workshop than a podcast recording”, so it has to be good.

Michael James - Digitalcoastimage.comWe discussed also some of the more recent news, namely Kodak’s filing for bankruptcy protection and what it might mean for the company, the release of Lightroom 4 beta, a couple of items coming out of CES 2012 and the controversial use of a HDR image on the cover of the Washington Post.

PhotoNetCast #26 – Going Beyond Your Comfort Zone

To grow and improve in photography, risks need to be taken and new challenges embraced. In this episode, we give you a few tips to do just that and go beyond your comfort zone.

Going Beyond your Comfort Zone in Photography

What is it with us that after we have learned how to do something in a certain way we tend to stick to it and it becomes harder to break out?

While it might make some sense, this way of thinking is also a learning stopper. The more time you take to photograph always in the same way, the more harder it will become to go out, break your habits and learn new things.

From Wikipedia:

“One’s comfort zone refers to the set of environments and behaviors with which one is comfortable, without creating a sense of risk.”

And applying this to photography:

“Thirty-six satisfactory exposures on a roll means a photographer is not trying anything new.” – Freeman Patternson

In this episode we discuss how important it is for a photographer to always be a step ahead of the comfort zone and staying on that edge where there is no fear of experimenting and failing, because learning just comes that way.

We are also opening a new segment on the show in which we ask you to submit your photos that you’d like us to critique. Some more details on this to come on a future post, but if you listen to this show you’ll get a pretty good idea of what we are talking about. We’re waiting for your submissions…

Enjoy the show…
