I really, REALLY appreciate you two devoting an entire episode to so much information related to being an actual working commercial photographer. There was some insight in here that was really valuable to me, especially with regard to how usage works and how to estimate it. Thank you again!
This is what I like...the behind the scene, business side. I would like to see a video that shows the whole photographer/client interaction from first contact to payment.
Scott, you straight up hand out gold in yer short youtube videos, and now are shoveling it in our faces with exactly how things work in depth. Truely amazing info for anyone wanting to get into shooting photos for a living (like myself). Thanks so much for doing this.
The key to pulling of any fairly involved project is the be a good executive and administrator. That means you need to delegate authority and tasks and choose the right people to do it so you can concentrate on your own task at hand.
Thank you for answering my question about specializing and niching down. In hindsight your answer makes total sense- devote all your energy to one thing until you’re good enough, unique enough, and known well enough to be able to slowly branch back out and widen the variety of jobs. Thanks for making it make sense 🙏
You should ask Martin Botvidsson as a guest, and do it through interwebs since he lives in Sweden. Seems like you two are the best product photographers on youtube, but seems like he has bit different way of working, and also i bet client base in UK and Sweden are slightly different. So it would be interesting.
Enjoyed this
Love this please keep the series going! Would love if you could have guests rotate through
Brilliant, concise expertise. x2. Kudos to both ...
To change ISO on your Fuji, you have to press in the front dial button (press it into the camera body) and it will switch from aperture to ISO. Press it in again to go back to aperture.
Great to here from you guys keep them coming
I much prefer the mugs to the branded cans!
It’s interesting hearing you say you don’t ‘push the button’. I was discussing this with a photographer recently as UK copyright law says that the creator of an image is the one who pushes the button to capture it. I assume there are contracts in place that protect your ownership of an image that is made by many.
Like many laws it’s out of date with modern practice but that is why having someone in legal on the team is important.
I like the matches analogy 🔥
Really solid conversation on usage
What a great informative episode this was, thankyou both!
Gear episode question ,mainly for Rob, about the Fuji files for post production being "fine":
Which camera gives the nicest files for retouching/colormatching/grading in your experience? Mainly between Fuji, Phase one and Hasselblad.
thank you!
Do you play music on shoot days or is it mostly quiet ? Love these podcasts. Keep em coming!
You guys should check out the movie " Old Henry " by Potsy Ponciroli
Free tip from someone with literally thousands of hours of of studio experience ... put the headphone lead behind your shoulder so that it runs down the back of the back of your chair. It is not going to get in your way then and, it is not going to get caught on things and annoy the hell out of you.
Re camera movement ... The primary conceit of cinema is that you are there, experiencing it for yourself - you are not looking at someone's crappy, shaky, hand-held video. All of this shaky video and added camera flare that you see in films like the Startrek films just fails on that count. Those in control of the cinema industry production end need to be reminded that they are supposed to be transporting the audience to where it is happening, not showing them a film. The cinema game is a bit like the first page of R D Lang's book 'Knots' which says that; 'The game is that there isn't a game.'
It just feels so wrong. They don't have the budget for a digitech... So you charge 3 times as much for a lesser job?! How do you justify your day rate? It's something I'm really struggling with as i listen.
I do WANT to understand though.
There's also the appalling state of the British and eurozone economies. More money printing inbound.
