071 Lee Holt - Google Trusted Photographer
Take & Talk Pics
09/09/15 • 33 min
Today’s featured guest is Lee Holt.
Lee is a Google trusted photographer based out of Jacksonville Florida with his company Holt Media Productions. While the application to become a Google verified business is simple, being selected is extremely difficult and it becomes even harder each day. The process is based on merit as well as location availability. Being unofficially backed by Google is a great accomplishment and will boost to any business. Lee has a range of work and covers many genres of photography due to his location. The work available is a bit less than a major city and that makes it tough to niche down to one area of photography. Having been a pro photographer for only 3 years Lee has a lot to share with you Photo World.
068 Seth Lowe - Get It Done
Take & Talk Pics
09/02/15 • 29 min
Today’s featured guest is Seth Lowe.
Seth is a lifestyle and portrait photographer in Peroria, IL. His portrait work always seems to host a unique perspective of his subjects.
His quote says it all. - "Get Shit Done."
It's about time we got blunt and got real for a change. If we can't get things done then what the heck are we doing. The 9-5 or part time job is honorable and there is no shame in it. If you want to go full time photographer do it right and do it gradually. Though, remember to get things done in all areas of your life to maintain order and a better end result by the end of each day. I can preach all day on shifting gear and moving forward but I think Seth expresses some great points in this interview. Listen to Seth Lowe on Take & Talk Pics and get the motivation to start or in some ways restart and crush your business.
I am a portrait and lifestyle photographer based in Peoria, IL.
I was born in farm town, and raised around people who work with their hands. My dad owned a construction company, and started taking me out on site from an early age. From that I learned what it meant to go the extra mile for people, to never give up, and how to creatively solve problems. I thrive on being challenged, finding new ways of accomplishing things, and connecting with people. Traveling, telling stories, and connecting with people are my passions.
On a personal note; my wife is English, and I wish I was a rally car driver. My dream is to own a breakfast cafe with a studio above it that has an after school program to teach kids photography and video.

Bonus - Webinar episode

Hey Photo World!
Bonus episode today!
This is the second Take & Talk Pics webinar to date and it is all about failure.
I ask this question in every interview. "Tell Photo World about a time you failed." - this isn't to point out the times where a photographer messed up... No. It is meant to give insight to you Photo World on how to do things a little different that you maybe have been or to prevent you form making the same mistakes anyone of them has... or in today's case - mistakes I have made. I cannot count how many times I have failed it must be tens of thousands by now perhaps hundreds of thousands. Well, in this webinar I shared 3 failures/mistakes I made on my wedding photography contracts... 1 of them is such a big mistake it cost me thousands of dollars. Ouch! watch this webinar and tune in to future webinars for great content you don't get on the podcast right away. I have been toying with the idea of exclusive live content on the webinars only and not publishing them in any way. What do you think Photo World? Comment below!

061 Monday Message - Keynote Speech
Take & Talk Pics
08/17/15 • 5 min
Keynote Speech for College of DuPage.
I was asked to speak at the 1st annual College of DuPage Exposed Photography Showcase. It was an honor to speak for a little over 400 photography driven individuals. I tell a bit about my journey and segue to becoming an instructor and podcaster. Not before I play with the question “Can I make it as a photographer?”.
I pulled out 3 minutes from an otherwise long speech. I think you can hear some excitement mixed with nerves as I share with the large group. Although it was a great practice to be inform of so many people. I would love to speak on a few different topics that I have been developing. A goal would be an hour talk for WPPI. I want to burst out now with the topics but I think I’ll save them for a while or at least till WPPI invites me. :)
Enjoy today’s Monday Message and tune in to Wednesday’s episode where I interview a photographer and WPPI speaker Jacquelynn Buck.
Stay Cool and Happy Shooting!

060 Fundamental Friday's - Aperture
Take & Talk Pics
08/14/15 • 15 min
Aperture!
Hey Photo World here we are on another Fundamental Friday’s episode and I am so excited to bring us back to the basics of Aperture. Many of you already know that aperture plays a big part in depth of field and I am only going to scratch the surface on that piece to the aperture puzzle. Today I am really dialing back and walking us through the basics of aperture. Simply put it is the opening in the lens. Furthermore it is adjustable by you the photographer. There are many cameras out there where you would have a fixed aperture however I am speaking to those of you who are DSLR, hybrid, or mirrorless shooters. Basically those who have the full manual options to make exposure changes. Your aperture is the opening in the lens and the part that allows for that to be adjustable are a set of blades coming together making a larger or smaller hole. The numeric value assigned to each step or Stop are referred to as the F number or F stops.
Example of full stops:
F1.4, f2, f2.8, f4, f5.6, f8, f11, f16, f22, f32, f45, f64
F number... Aperture... blades... the hole in a lens...
What does all this mean?
Well, what aperture is designed for is – regulating how much light passes through the lens and therefore how much or how little of the scene is being projected onto the film or digital sensor. The F number tells us a few things:
1) the smaller the F number (like: f2.8) the bigger the opening in the lens and therefore more light passing through.
2) the larger the F number (like: f22) the smaller the opening in the lens and therefore less light passing through.
3) Aperture effects the Depth of Field – small aperture (large F number) the longer the DOF/large aperture (small F number) the shorter the DOF.
Again and just like Shutter Speed this is one third of the exposure triangle. (the 3 main setting that determine our exposure for an image)
Shutter – how long the picture is taken
Aperture – how much light is passing through the lens
and
ISO - ... tune in next week (episode 63) to find out how this triangle is completed!
I also discuss how Aperture effects Depth of Field however I have that topic set aside for a future Fundamental Friday’s episode.

073 Monday Message - Walking a Fine Line
Take & Talk Pics
09/14/15 • 10 min
Hey Photo World!
I have done over 200 weddings in my 6 years as a photographer and I get one common questions from people I end up sharing what I do with. "Oh I bet you have some stories... What was the craziest thing you've seen?"
The truth is, every wedding has some hick-up. Sometimes big but most are small. I have seen family drama where the cops have been called, The wrong DJ showing up, and even the florist never delivering the flowers at all. Thins happen and we need to adjust quickly. Every once in a while it is a situation where we as photographers need to make a choice on what to do or how to handle this situation. Those times where we are Walking a Fine Line. Those small fight or flight occurrences. In this episode I walk through a story from this past weekend and awesome wedding. Not a big deal situation but enough to feel this is worth talking about.
here is the image I was referring to. Shot at: f6.3, 1/200, ISO 100
