Episode 11 – Our interview with Erik Almas…

04/15/13 • -1 min

Welcome to season two, episode one of The Photography Podcast.

Today we are proud to announce that we are giving away 100% of our affiliate sales, do a quick review (more like a gushing) of the Scott Kelby iPad App Light It, and finish with an interview with commercial photography Erik Almas.

So here we go, and in order:

1. For awhile now we have been giving away 50% of all of our affiliate sales to support two food banks and one soup kitchen here in southern Maine, but have decided that these projects (and all the families that they support) need this money far more than we do.

So if you are looking for photography gear if you buy it using our Adorama affiliate links you will get great prices, equally as good customer service and will be helping those who are truly in need.

2. We have been Scott Kelby for some time and we love his iPad App since its inception, there are many things to love about it and you can find on iTunes, on the web, and I would strongly suggest you check our our originally review on Weekly Photo Tips. Not only can you read all the details of what makes it a great resource for photographers, you’ll also how to get two complete issues for free.

3. And finally, our interview with photographer extraordinaire Erik Almas. Our interviewer is a guest as well, it’s Mike Bowker, studio manager and digital retouch artist of the studios of Irvin Serrano.

Mike has been a big fan of Erik and also wrote the outstanding review of Erik’s DVD “Aspects of Image Making“. You can read the entire review over at the blog.

Here are just a few shots from Erik’s gallery, you will really want to visit his website and check out his stunning work.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this interview and am sure you will as well.

Hope you enjoy episode 11 as much as we enjoyed making it for you.

Episode 10 – Our interview with Michael Clark…

Here are the show notes from our conversation with my new photography crush, action, adventure, and sports photographer Michael Clark.

How this all got started was because Peachpit was kind enough to send us his latest book, Exposed: Inside the Life and Images of a Pro Photographer, for review and the admiration started there.

And as I learned more about the type of photography he does and the stunning images he captures I was hooked.

There will be more images in this post than we have ever included before, because I just couldn’t narrow it down any further than this, so check these out.

We talked about one of his portfolio images and how it was lit:

Base jumping (pure insanity):

Surfing:

Outdoors:

And the Patagonian Expedition Race:

Now there are important links you will want to check out, like his website and his blog.

Michael writes a newsletter 3-4 times a year, that really should be called a magazine, its full of reviews, tips, tricks, and still more of his work.

And of course there are his books.

Take a peak inside his camera bag, not only will you see the gear he shoots with, you’ll be able to read reviews on all of the equipment as well, it might help you in purchasing the special piece of equipment you’ve been looking for.

If you are interested in attending a Michael Clark workshop (and who wouldn’t be) he has two this August (in Maine Michael will be teaching on the subject of Adventure Photography and Chicago will be a Mentor Series Photo Trek), you can also find him in Santa Fe in October (another Photo Trek, this one of the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta), and you can shoot surfing with him (and Brian Bielmann) at Turtle Bay Hilton Resort, Oahu North Shore, Hawaii.

You can find the details for all these workshops right here.

Should consider these or any other workshops be sure to read the article Michael wrote that covers how to choose a workshop and what our responsibilities as attendees are in preparing for a workshop, he provides great insight and it will help everyone get the most for their money and their time.

I feel fortunate to have “discovered” Michael Clark and want ...
