In today's episode, we focus the discussion on becoming hybrid creators, not just photographers, and what it means to embrace a multidisciplinary approach to photography and videography.

Our guest for today is Slater Moore (@slatermoorephotography), a renowned professional photographer, filmmaker, and sea captain, known for his captivating work in marine photography and videography. This is his second time on the podcast. Slater shares his insights on the concept of being a "hybrid creator", what's involved in licensing footage to production companies, why "good content" on social media is no longer enough and why it's beneficial to actively engage in other genres of photography and videography.

Here is a link to all of Slater's relevant pages: https://liinks.co/slatermoorephotography

In today's podcast episode, we delved into Seth's experience of posting on Instagram once a day for 30 days and explored both the good and the bad. We also specifically focused the beginning of the episode on how some photographers may be losing interest in their craft due to an over-reliance on social media growth. Our theory is as the landscape of social media becomes increasingly challenging to navigate, photographers who have mentally invested solely in building their online presence are finding themselves at a loss and lacking a sense of purpose with their cameras if they don't want to bend to algorithm changes. We discussed the importance of diversifying one's interests and pursuits beyond social media to maintain genuine passion and fulfillment in photography.

Today's episode features a discussion with Jarrad Seng (@jarradseng), an acclaimed Australian photographer and filmmaker. With a unique blend of music and travel photography, Jarrad has established himself as a sought-after visual storyteller, capturing moments that evoke emotions and transport viewers to new worlds.

Jarrad is also a Canon Australia Ambassador. His portfolio boasts collaborations with renowned artists such as Passenger, Matt Corby, Ed Sheeran, and Matchbox Twenty.  Jarrad has held multiple exhibitions for his work, was a contestant on Australian Survivor, and recently completed a lecture for a TEDx Talk on the topic of "Seeking Discomfort".

In today's episode, we delve into a powerful theme: the art of recognizing opportunity and embracing the "yes" mindset. We explore the concept of taking calculated risks and the profound impact it can have on personal growth and creating an extraordinary life filled with adventure and breakthroughs.

At the heart of this discussion lies the notion of seeking discomfort. We uncover how stepping outside of our comfort zones is not only a catalyst for character development but also a gateway to unlocking a world brimming with untapped potential.

Dryden is in charge of the video aspect of their business while Emily focuses on the photography side.

However, much of our conversation focuses on much more nuanced things such as but not limited to:

• Shot planning
• Accepting that no wedding day shoot will ever go perfectly regardless of your experience level. How do we navigate that?
• Putting ego aside in a partnership and knowing when to offer feedback
• Handling challenging lighting conditions and unpredictable weather
• Making the couple you're shooting feel comfortable and trusting of you

In today's episode, friend of the show and Tamron Ambassador Ian Jones (@iansjones) joins us once again this time to to talk about an exciting project he was recently involved with. He was the photographer on set for his friend and creator Ryan Peters (@ryanpeterspgh) who was working on a collaborative project with Mr. Beast, the largest Youtube creator in the world. We hear how that opportunity arose for Ian among other things. In this episode some of the main things we touch on are:

• Not caring about what a gig will pay if the opportunity is exciting/cool
• Saying "yes" as much as you can will open doors (within reason)
• Focusing on your own path, but finding motivation and inspiration from what others are doing
•  Why a clean workspace or designated zone is good for the mind and workflow
• How the rest in between bouts of hard work needs to be considered work and part of making progress

In this episode we talk about the pro's and cons of being rigid and flexible with your day to day schedule and how that can impact your timeline on delivering photo or video files to clients. We also talk about how adding pressure or more things to our plate can be a great way to fight procrastination as it lights a fire underneath us to get things done on time. We also get into some things Aaron and I refuse to push or sacrifice regardless of what comes up. These are known by the recent buzzword "non-negotiables".

In this episode we go over some opinionated guidelines, unspoken rules, and etiquette principles that if we were all able to employ would make everyone's national park experience that much better. We elaborate on these 8 rules and go in detail on their overall benefit and how to implement them:

• Leaving no trace
• Leaving a place better than you left it. Ditching the "not my trash, not my problem" mentality
• Treating these pristine landscapes as you would a church or religious site
• Avoiding feeding wildlife
• Being mindful of who you're blocking and time spent in one picturesque spot
• Adopting the mind culture of another place or country
• Finding new and creative spots to disperse the crowds
• Halting loud music & Facetimes; Use airpods

If you're tuning in on Spotify, there is an exciting feature that allows you to actively engage with us. Share your thoughts, opinions, or questions in the Q&A section, and we'll personally read and publish them. Let's transform these episodes into dynamic conversations where your voice matters too.

In this podcast episode, we reflect on our recent trip to the Canadian Rockies, specifically Banff and Jasper National Park. We hosted our 2nd annual Photographer Mindset Retreat in these locations, immersing ourselves in the stunning landscapes and encountering abundant wildlife. Despite challenges like rain and wildfire smoke, we adapted, pivoted, and made the most of our adventure. Listen as we review the trip and use the scenarios that occurred to more deeply explore the photography and mindset principles we routinely discuss on the show. In this episode some of things we talk about but aren't limited to are:

• Making your trips more affordable by reaching out to companies and tourism boards
• How to keep a positive attitude and perspective when external factors are plaguing your plans or trip
• How to know when to pivot or make a change vs. keeping the status quo or sticking to the original plan

Today's episode is with Norris Niman (@norrisniman), a Swedish award winning photographer and cinematographer, Nikon creator, and world adventurer living in Iceland. Norris has been entrusted by companies such as Arc'teryx, Hertz, Toyota, and many others to deliver stunning visual imagery. Through the lens of his camera, he captures the raw essence of the north, the untamed wilderness, and the spirit of adventure. His artistry is a testament to his unwavering pursuit of uncharted territories and his passion for bringing the beauty of these rugged landscapes to life through photography and videography. In this episode some of things we talk about but aren't limited to are:

• Why struggle and challenge is always better for creative and personal development than "easy" and sustained comfort
• How to create struggle and respond when things get too easy
• Carving your own path in life despite societal pressure and paradigms
• Building relationships with brands in new countries
• How to repeatedly start from scratch
