Let’s talk about something that doesn’t get nearly enough airtime in photography… Money. Not how to make more of it, …but how to keep more of what you already earn.

Today, I want to talk about why using a considered luxury colour…
I want to talk today about documentary photography, but not in the way I usually do. What I won't be discussing is assignments, clients, briefs of deliverables. I want to talk about photographing your own children… or your pets… or the life that’s happening right in front of you every single day, and why I honestly think it’s one of the best ways to fine-tune your ability as a documentary…

So why does this matter, well, we're about to find out. Once again, thank…
In the previous episode I discussed the difference between documenting and creating. What I didn't touch upon was the equipment to use, and that is what this episode is all about. I’m looking to have more guests on the podcast to provide you with more value.
