In this episode, we unpack the crucial lesson we wish we’d learned earlier in our photography careers, charging not only for our time but also for the rights to use the assets we create. Too often, photographers hand over images or videos, unknowingly leaving clients free to profit while missing out on fair compensation. We dig into the art of licensing, attempting to simply explain how fees vary based on factors like company size, asset usage, and licensing duration, and why it’s essential to clarify that you retain ownership of your work. We also tackle strategies for educating clients, making it clear there’s a difference between paying for your time and paying for the right to use your assets commercially. Lastly, we weigh the benefits of separating time and licensing into clear line items versus presenting clients with a single bundled fee.
Expect to learn:
- why you'll never go back to the old way of just billing only for your time
- how to develop a tailored and adaptive approach to pricing licensing fees
- that licensing sounds more complicated than it really is and that you're capable
- how to get your clients to understand why they pay for your time and licensing
- the proper duration to license your photos (1 year, 3 years, forever, etc.)

This episode dives into the story of a listener who’s feeling uninspired by wedding photography, despite its financial success. We explore how creative challenges and mild stress can reignite that lost spark, along with the unique fulfillment of seeing your work printed and displayed, rather than just scrolled past online.
We also discuss our personal experiences with galleries—how to choose photos to print, price them, and the rewarding feeling of witnessing people connect with your art. Additionally, we reflect on separating the joy of creating from audience reactions and how keeping some forms of photography as hobbies, rather than monetizing them, can preserve their magic.
Expect to learn:
-how to introduce challenges or mild stress on purpose to reignite passion
-how printing your work elicits a deeper connection with a real-world audience
-how to decide which photos to print, and how to price them
-to detach emotionally from your feelings creating a photo and how viewers perceive it
-why you don't need to monetize genres of photography that you enjoy

In this episode, we focus on empowering introverted photographers to enhance their communication skills, transforming their interactions from hesitant whispers to confident exchanges. We dive into redefining "fake it till you make it," encouraging people to recognize that "faking" something unfamiliar isn't faking at all. It's a paradox because at that moment you're actually doing the thing regardless of skill level. Learn how to avoid self-labeling to break free from limiting beliefs and how to wield the power of asking questions to control and steer conversations. Embrace discomfort by creating joy within challenges, turning them into opportunities for growth. Lastly, discover the artful application of "yes" or "no" questions versus open-ended ones to deepen understanding and foster richer dialogues.
Expect to learn:
- a new way to look at the concept "fake it till you make it"
- how to avoid labelling yourself so you don't create limiting beliefs
- why the person asking questions is the one in control of the conversation
- how to welcome discomforting scenarios by creating joy in them
- when to ask "yes" or "no" questions vs. open-ended questions

In this episode, we dive into the inspiring journey of Mike Nuchereno (@nuch10), who expanded from a dedicated wildlife photographer into the lead photographer and videographer for the renowned band Goose. We explore how Mike expertly leverages his Instagram page, initially focused on wildlife, as a powerful portfolio to secure diverse gigs beyond his original genre. His story exemplifies the importance of being proactive in business acquisition, being the aggressor rather than waiting for opportunities to come. Mike's extraordinary work ethic serves as a wake-up call for listeners, highlighting the competitive nature of today's photographers. However, Mike is on the far side of the bell curve and we discuss how it's easier than ever to stand out, as many avoid giving their all. The episode underscores the metaphor of walking through doors, opening up new opportunities with relentless effort and quality work.
Expect to learn:
-how to use instagram as a tool as opposed to a measure of success
-how to utilize your current portfolio to expand into other genres
-why you need to be aggressive rather than waiting to be discovered
-who your competition is in the commercial photography industry
-how to constantly be evolving and how to be open to change in your craft

In this episode, we delve into the concept of decentralizing social media, advocating for a shift where the quality of content and genuine subscriptions take precedence over algorithm-driven engagement. We discuss the dilemma photographers face with Instagram, exploring viable alternatives that could meet their needs for attention, income, and connection outside centralized platforms. We question whether social media might one day be viewed as harmful as smoking or alcohol, pondering if current excitement blinds us to its potential dangers. We also highlight the recurring urge to abandon Instagram for platforms like Vero and Clubhouse and why we inevitably all return to Instagram. Lastly, we discuss the internal dialogue many experience when trying to manage an overwhelming number of followings.
Expect to learn:
- how to become your own platform outside of centralized apps
- how to remain authentic in an algorithm-driven world
- to identify the needs you're trying to fill with Instagram
- how you can fill those needs outside of the platform with more success
- how to best audit and cull your "following" list

Finally, we question the value of investing in platforms like Instagram, where effort doesn't always equal success.
Expect to learn:
- how pressure to serve algorithms overshadow genuine artistic expression
- why leaving a stable career is not necessary for success in photography

In this episode, we delve into the nuanced art of self-assessment in photography by the kinds of questions you ask, helping you gauge whether you're skilled or unskilled. This is useful to track progress. We explore the bold choice of diverging from mainstream photography trends, capturing images that defy the current hype and celebrate individuality. We discuss the importance of aligning your shooting priorities with your personal and professional goals, illustrating how sometimes paid work takes precedence over seasonal shoots in our case. Lastly, we unpack the dynamic relationship between "learning" and "uncovering", advocating for a sequential approach where foundational knowledge fuels creative experimentation.
Expect to learn:
-the amount of "how", "what", & "why" questions determine your skill level
-how to gain creative freedom by going against seasonal trends

In this episode we're joined by Chris Daniele and Pamela Daniele (@heypamcakes). Together they make up @dirtandglass and photograph and video some of the most unique and beautiful cabins, chalets, treehouses, lodges and a-frames in the world. We consider them pioneers in the genre of cabin photography and there is so much to learn from them in this episode. We reiterate that the concepts and lessons that our well experienced guests teach and share can be utilized across all genres of photography. Take the concepts and run with them, and avoid tuning out just because the episode features a genre you're not interested in specifically!
