The Fashion Photography Show

This weeks' podcast episode is unusual, in that I recorded it whilst out in the woods walking my dog. I had an idea, grabbed my phone, and recorded it as a voice memo. That's why the audio is not as good as usual... but think of it as a voice note from me to you! It can be so hard to know where the balance shoot be between creative flow, impulse, and planning. How do you get a good balance of one or the other? I'm hoping that this short and sweet episode will help to answer that question for you.

Side hustles are a big topic amongst photographers, so I wanted to have a chat with my friend Annemarie Sterian about how having multiple income streams benefits us. We both have various ways of earning a living, which mean that not all our income relies on photography, and both of us love it.

I've been trying to get fashion photographer Stacey Lamb on the podcast for sooooo long, and we FINALLY did it!  Stacey is a lovely photographer who I know (and you also may know) from TikTok.   Stacey is really well known for her model test shoots, and her remote shoots, and in this chatty episode, she shares SO much value about both of those topics.  If you've wanted to start getting paid for model testing, you NEED to listen to this episode.  And if you want to start shooting for brands either in your home town, OR on trips to anywhere in the world (and get paid to do so) this is another episode perfect for you.
