One of the best podcasts for tips to get photos printed.

Thank you for this thorough and informative video, I’m researching metal/acrylic prints and this is just what I was looking for.

A good frank discussion, I still have my reservations on entering competitions, I have done in the past , but Tony's inside info on the competition world has raised a few points to consider. I still can't shake ❤the feelings of nepotism, but competitions have come a long way and are probably better now at dealing with that , but nothing's perfect and I'm sure it still raises its head. The other thing that seemed to be an issue a few years ago was airiel photography, there always seems to be a genre that dominates and you get the feeling sometimes you don't stand a chance unless you submit that, I'm probably wrong , and don't get me wrong , the aerials are fabulous they look fantastic framed and presented in huge prints.

That was an awesome episode Matt. Greg is incredibly well spoken and puts these ideas across unusually clearly! Good interviewing too, though I will never get over American's saying "Cheers" even though its as old as time!

This was the best episode for me and where I am in my photography thank you!!

What a remarkable group of women! Thanks for shining a light on their work, Matt. I love what they're doing with OPA and the collaborative, big tent approach they're taking. I really appreciated Martha's point about the need for us to feel like we can all be ourselves whether the group is a single gender or mixed. It's possible if there's psychological safety, and that can't be taken for granted (even within a demographically similar group); it has to be cultivated intentionally and held as a value by the entire group. Anyway, seriously looking at the Feb conference, and if I can't make that, hope to join another event in the near future. Thank you, Shanda, Martha, and Jeanie, for the time, energy, and smarts you're putting into OPA!! ~Beth B

Great podcast - interesting guy!

Thank You ❤

Her inspiration and technique to capture light is outstanding. And you will be amazed if you knew a whole banch of local photografers's works. They are so brilliant photos .

Thank you Matt and Bruce. Wonderful conversation! Bruce is one of the few landscape photographers in the world whose work really stands out. The landscapes he chooses to photograph lend themselves to reductionism, so even though Bruce doesn't see himself as a minimalist they are unavoidably that.

Very inspiring conversation! So much that resonated with me, thanks Matt & Bruce!

Thanks Matt & Bruce! Fascinating & thought provoking conversation.

The North East and Northumberland is definitely the best place in England 😊.. that’s why we moved here. Brilliant to see you getting some exposure Jim 😊

So true, seeing photography as a way to engage with nature and oneself spiritually is a good way to grow as a person... definately an idea I will persue in the next time!!! Thanks for this episode and the good input!

Thanks for this episode you put out here! So true, storytelling is definately a pretty hard thing specially when shooting rhe more intimate scenes.

Really great podcast! Had a lot of useful tips that I look forward to using. Best of luck with growing the pod!

Spot on real life review

Do you have any thoughts - suggestions - recommendations for printing nightscape images? Mine are usually low light foregrounds with the Milky Way or star trails in the sky.

My brothers Lyric and Rob. Love these guys. They feel like my business partners rather than just a print lab I use. Great episode 🤙🏻

there is an episode idea for you and Wayne "The Do's and Don'ts in Processing for Large Prints"

really interesting discussion, esp. the part about the bulb temp. hadn't thought about that one

Wow! THAT was as great podcast, Matt! Even though I have printed for many years, I definitely learned some vital new information to improve my prints for customers. For me, my photography process is not complete until I know the finish image prints wells. So far, I have only completed some test prints from NMFA, but they have been exceptional! And now with their revamped website, it's super easy to add a variety of frames. Again, thanks for the in-depth interview that covered about every question I had for printing with NMFA. Cheers!

One of the things I've noticed with photographers displaying metal prints at art fairs is they are overly saturated and almost cartoon like. So with that in mind when I ordered my first few metals I backed off on the saturation from my paper print file and they turned out great. Vivid colors but not garish. The other thing I noticed with other photographers was their metal prints were very soft in comparison to the same paper prints they had on display. Not sure if that was the photographers file prep or the lab they used on the metals. My local lab seems to do pretty well but I have not compared side by side with competition.

Really good podcast Matt. I'm thinking of selling some of my photos for the first time. This was very helpful.

hey Greg that cup you're sipping on - it looks like a Troy Miller creation - is it?

Wow Matt...that was a great vid. You do ask the right questions, respect. I have to ask though...is that sky in the print behind you AI...just kidding. Keep these things coming, C.

Really good and informative session. Thank you. Question: In PC/Windows, what aobut the Graphics cards? I use a Thinkpad wiht i7, but Intel Motherboard Graphics. Will or does that support 10-12 bit graphics for HDR or support HDR at all? Thank you.

383! Dang man. Getting after it. Loved the points about intentionality in composition. It's easy to get caught up in the moment and miss things!

Very Informative episode. Matt your voice is not clear in this episode. I tried to adjust bass of my sound bar but still it sounded the same. Your voice is always very clear. This time there may be some issue with bass.

I have been following this issue from when Greg first published his HDR articles. No other photographers that I am aware of is addressing this technology. He is so far ahead of the curve on this issue from anyone else and he is just superb in his explanations. Thanks Matt for having him on the show it was excellent.

Im blind in one eye (since birth too) and I also love taking pictures too

But blurry images are such a recognizable element of my style... (Seriously, the advice regarding duplicating and masking is spot-on).

good to know there was a reason for all of the recent pushing of this

When you upsize an image for printing, do you use Gigapixel or Photoshop? I tried Gigapixel years ago and it worked decent but found Photoshop does a much better job than it used to so haven't tried the new Gigapixel.

I feel the same way. I use topaz for noise reduction but have never found topaz sharpen to ever work.

Great talk, thank you!

One of the best photographers on the planet, and his book on photography is a must have , I've had it for years and go back to it all the time

good discussion. definitely a reason why we ended up moving from the SoCal coast to Colorado. Nothing beats open space! Much better than honking car horns and fighting for parking

Alex I think you need to look at more Hudson River School members like Asher B. Durand, Fredrick Church or (much of) Albert Bierstadt before hanging the blame on them for the over-the-top tendencies of many modern Instagram mad American landscape photographers... Durand's woodland pictures in particular are of a similar spirit as Joe's...

Great discussion, especially about family balance at 21:00. We've got a 1 year old, and I'm very much in the middle of finding that rebalancing of photography, making YT videos, working out, etc. It all changes! I definitely appreciate the perspectives

Love you guys! Great interview!

I love that Roma Print!

Why use MPIX and not the Miller's professional imaging side?

I love her. I just started listening but I know of her piece "What is Enough" that really spoke to me. Thanks for all your work, Matt. I just joined and encourage others to do so. I listen in my car but IF I go to the gym, I turn on your program, watch and workout. I listen as well but love to see each artist's work!

“Everyone is struggling.” Or, as is commonly misattributed to Plato: “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.”

She might be blind in one eye, but that doesn't mean her mind's eye is impaired. Very good presentation.

Subtitles with moving colour are seriously annoying. Otherwise an excellent podcast

Those are some stunning prints. Very cool discussion about something I didn't really know anything about. Flagstaff is such a cool town, but agree that it is a pricy place to live! Also, Matt has a pretty great last name, just missing a T haha

Taking photos is fun, it gets me outside for experiences. But I decided to do art fairs this year, and seeing my images printed on large metal and acrylic really brings all the work I have put in feel finished. Beyond that, it's the reaction from people coming into my booth at a fair and really enjoying the images. I think that gives me more joy than anything else. I think all photographers need to print some of their images. Just my opinion. The lines he was talking about in the GFX camera is Phase Detect sensor lines. I run into it when shooting IR, even in the raw files. Kolari Vision has a tutorial about how to get rid of them using Topaz Denoise AI.

This gem of a podcast is destined to become a future Master Class. Matt is truly one of the best P/P printers in the world and Taylor Mahoney is equally, an incredible silver gelatin printer. I highly recommend anyone interested in these historical processes to look them up in Flagstaff and take advantage of their impeccable skills.
