In this episode of Camera Shake Podcast, we sit down with Rick Sammon—often called the Godfather of Photography—to unpack a lifetime of image-making. From his early underwater adventures to wildlife, travel, and people photography, Rick shares practical lessons that will elevate your work today. We dig into composition, light, timing, and the mindset shifts that help you create rather than just take pictures. You’ll hear field-tested tips for bird and wildlife photography, how to connect with people on the road, and where iPhone photography fits into a pro’s toolkit. We also discuss staying inspired, building a sustainable photography career, and adapting to new tech (yes, even AI) without losing your voice.

👉 Subscribe for more weekly episodes covering Photoshop, photography, creative business, and the future of imaging.

New episodes every Thursday.
