Wedding Photo Hangover

First up we’re talking about that new Black widow trailer before we get into Instagram Analytics and doctor visits. It’s been a crazy year but I think we can all agree that Black Widow is so much better than Hawkeye. Next up we talk about Dustin’s experiments with Facebook Live and his big switch to Sony. We also talk about Steve’s purchase of just one measly monopod over the Black Friday sales, and Steve’s new found love of Rogue Filters. Then we talk about the Canon Eos Rs that’s rumored to be announced in February as well as the Canon Eos hybrid mount camera rumor (that’s an EF/RF mount camera, so you can use your old lenses on a new body without an adaptor). Finally, we talk about how everyone needs to stop telling their friends to buy Sony gear. Talk up some crappy brands so that Sony has competition. We don’t want a monopoly. So tell your frenemies to go for a Fujifilm or Canon or Nikon or Panasonic this year and tell your enemies to go with Olympus.

Beer Talk:
Dustin - Punk IPA by BrewDog Brewing Company
Steven - InvEster by Taxman Brewing Company

Q&A:
How do you turn down a potential wedding client?
Has anyone shot wedding photos in a cemetery?
Does anyone else have trouble deleting old, unused photos?

First up we talk some more about email marketing. Then we talk about Facebook Live marketing and Instagram Story marketing. Dustin and Ulices talk a little bit about making the change to Sony. Dustin shares about shooting his first professional photo jobs completely with his Sony gear. Nikon shuts down their authorized repair program, a bride is arrested for allegedly forcing a photographer to pay to shoot her wedding, and a Kentucky photographer sues for her supposed religious right to discriminate against people (BTW, there's no religious right that allows anyone to discriminate).

Beer Talk:
Dustin - InvEster by Taxman Brewing Co.
Steve - Hazy Jane IPA by Brewdog
Ulices - Meat and Potatoes Dinner Stout by Lord Hobo Brewing Co., Old Fashioned by Anderson Valley, and Hopnaut by Great Divide

Q&A:
Should I dump my boyfriend if he isn't willing to pay for photos at the same rate that I charge my clients?
Where's the line with skin retouching? How much is too much?
Does anyone else deliver photos of Uncle Bobs at weddings with their galleries?

This week we’re talking about the Boston photographer that unwittingly spread COVID-19 to a bunch of clients, family, and friends after contracting the disease at a biogenesis conference. We also talk about a wedding photographer whose social media was hacked at the beginning of the global pandemic causing a lot of stress for her and her clients and after that we talk about a photographer that threatened to delete a problematic client’s photos. We also take a trip to the drone zone to talk about a new drone that can play dodgeball.

Beer Talk:
Dustin - Puppy Slumber Party from Metazoa
Steve - Double Dorian Stout from Scarlet Lane

Q&A:
Should you shoot your mom’s wedding she’s refusing to cancel due to the pandemic when she’s not paying you anyway or signing a contract?
Anybody printing at home during the pandemic instead of having their prints done by a lab?
How often do you feel like bludgeoning the celebrant with your camera?
What do you do when you’re friends with the bride and she updates her facebook to say she’s in a relationship with a man who is not her soon-to-be groom?
Can you shoot a proposal at a park when your state has a stay at home mandate?
Does anyone offer more things to bring in extra income?

This week we're talking a lot about that new Mac Pro from Apple. It may look like a cheese grater, but we're pretty certain it doesn't grate cheese. Steve posits a theory about Patrick Rothfuss's book series The Kingkiller Chronicle which is oddly related to this new Mac Pro. We talk about what you should do if a bride asks you not to take many photos of a bridesmaid. We also talk about what it's like to do photography in your thirties.

Beer Talk:
Dustin - Margarita Style Spin-Off from Taxman Brewing Co.
Steve and Dustin - NATURDAY from Natural Light!

Q&A:
What's the weirdest thing you've done for your photography business?
How do you critique a second shooter that's disappointed you?
Should you give money back to someone who cancelled their contract because they no longer want to do a complimentary shoot that was included in their contract?
