A series of conversations celebrating the multi-faceted photographic industry, aiming to enlighten, entertain and educate the listeners whether they be keen hobbyists, seasoned shooters or simply visually-driven individuals.

Tom Barnes & Greg Funnell

Tom and Greg record a lo-fi summer episode covering back-to-back heatwave shoots, cameras overheating in the field (a Canon R5 Mark II in 44 degree Texas heat and a Fujifilm X-H2 in an Italian marble quarry), Tom's case for retiring his battered Canon R6 in favour of a Fujifilm X100VI, and a wider argument about why ergonomics and how a camera feels in the hand matter more than chasing specs.Thank you for listening to The Exposed Negative Podcast.

Tips from a model to a photographer

show the model the moodboard, include them in a creative process
Don’t try physically moving the model where possible
Do remember that the model is human! - they are in the room, try not to objectify them
Allow the model to see the framing as that helps with their posing decisions

Hair and Makeup are the bridge between cast and crew

Spent more time shooting and developing her style before making her approach to clients
Photography is not life and death - not worth taking on too much stress - enjoy the shoots as much as you can
Tends to do less in-depth research so that she doesn’t know too much about them as that can kill the spontaneity

The way she approaches taking on a shoot is if it falls into one of these categories

Will the shoot give me some portfolio worthy work?
Will it be financially worthwhile?
Will i have fun doing it?

TIPS

Always keep the original layer - duplicate it and lock the original away
Separate background and skin into folders - naming accordingly
Depth of your canvas - your layer stacks. Items Furthest away always at bottom of the stack
Toms Tiff file tip and tips on proper folder structures
Naming convention Vahakn uses for his projects: (Job Number - Client - name of photographer)
Use of WIPs (Work in Progress) streams for email conversations
Delete the shots that don’t work! (unless you want the clients to end up picking them)
Disney and the case of the hairy arms
Green Screen - shoot on grey, not on green! And avoid shooting on white for anything you want to cut out. 50% grey probably best
Shoot on Haze on Black - Then use blend modes (ie. screen or hard mix)

S1 #5 - Approaches & Assignments w/ photo director Owen Gale

Dan Ross is a name that most London based commercial photographers will be familiar with, for many years Dan served as one the capitals top assistants, building a network of assistants around him and in doing so helping to elevate the whole industry. These years spent working for a wide range of photographers have meant that Dan has now been able to switch, and is now a very technically proficient photographer in his own right.
Unlike in the US, in the UK there are not so many full time assistants that specialise in doing solely that as a career although over the last few years that has changed a bit. We talk to Dan about the role of the assistant, how to be the best one you can be and also what not to do. He peppers that chat with some wonderful stories from his days as ‘road crew’. The chat is little cheeky in places, so discretion is advised.
Dan’s desert island Camera is the Fujifilm X100F and his book of choice was Citizen by Ingvar Kenne
