Description

Welcome to the Show! We are the best - never heard of us - photographers in Oklahoma just crazy enough to share knowledge, passion, and tricks of the industry. We want to help educate photographers of all skill levels with useful information, humor and a few things that make you say Hmmmm.

As tribe twins, we work hard to find and interview the movers and shakers that share the vision that “Sharing is Caring”. We love to hear your suggested topics, questions, and creatives we should have on the show.

We were recently voted “Best Photography Podcast in English” by no one BUT, if you leave us a 5-star review on iTunes, that could become a reality. Be sure to go back into the previous five years of great content to find amazing photographers, national speakers, insightful discussions and a bunch of “Seinfeld” styled episodes.

Send us a text Do you have a backup system for client workflow? What about your personal digital life? If you are like most professional photographers, the business systems are solid instilling confidence in your clientele that all bases are covered and their precious memories are secure from "Acts of God" or general mishaps. I would bet, that in the same household, the personal side of digital assets including phone images are not so securely backup up, or even easily acces...

Send us a text We don't always have sports photographers on the show, but when we do... we go for the homerun! This week, the Twins chat with Carrie Giordano with a little help from local sports shooter Ron Lane.
