In the world of photography, every click of the shutter captures not just an image but a unique perspective, a story waiting to be told.

Our lives today are dominated by digital screens and devices. Printing photos has taken a backseat to 'sharing' online. We are capturing more photos than ever before, however we are printing less and less.

The period of time from the beginning of the pandemic until now seems to have been ten years and at the same time only a few months. It's like we're experiencing some sort of collective time warp.
When I stop and think about ALL of the things that have taken place in that period of time, I start to feel overwhelmed.
In this episode of The Nerdy Photographer Podcast, photographer Kamal X and I tackle some of that time periods and ...
While a picture is worth a thousand words, those words can be the key to unlocking the full potential of your brand. The photographers we spoke to emphasized the significance of selecting a name, tagline, and message that not only describe what you do but also convey the "why" behind your photography. Your chosen words are the foundation upon which your visual identity rests. They define your style, evoke emotions, and solve your c...
The grand adventure saga comes to a close. It's possible that I spent way too much time and energy fretting over what to do with the 100th episode instead of just celebrating reaching this important milestone.
I wanted to create a huge, epic adventure episode and it took up so much space up in my mind that I delayed putting out the episode over and over because I wanted it to be perfect.
This is what they call a 'teachable moment' ...

Our celebration of reaching 100 episodes is comin...
Last week, Meta launched Instagram Threads and it already has over 100 million downloads!
Just what you wanted, another social media app to worry about, right? Well, I have a quick intro to Instagram Threads as well as my pros and cons of the platform so far.
The energy on the app is sort of like the early days of Twitter or chat rooms near the turn of the millennium. There's a lot happening and it's all rushing by at lightning spe...

Intellectual property and copyright laws are something that should interest anyone who is involved in the photography industry. The digital age has made it easier and easier for artistic work to be disseminated and copied.
