How are you preparing for wedding season?

Ep. 186 - How Long Can You Shoot Weddings While Pregnant? with special guest Jennifer Van Elk
Dustin and Steve talk about life as a wedding photographer when you have a child surprise in the middle of wedding season. Okay, not a child surprise. This isn't the Witcher... but an unexpected bundle of joy nonetheless. They also talk about how you should react if a client doesn't really want you at the wedding. As well as the pains of shooting a wedding video solo when things like card reading are brought up on the day of the wedding, moments before the ceremony as something the client wants to do before the ceremony. It's a tough week. Beer Talk: Steve - Fuity Nuggets X2 by 450 North Brewing Company Dustin - All Day IPA by Founders brewing Company Q&A: Why do clients still ask to see examples of photographer's work when photographers post their work everywhere online? How long did you keep shooting weddings after getting pregnant? How long after childbirth till you started shooting again? How did you feel? What considerations do you need to make before having an associate shooter work for you? Follow Jenn Van Elk: http://vanelk.co Want more?

Ep. #185 - How To Kill Your Second Shooter
This week we talk about how Dustin tried to murder Steve in cold blood but make it look like an accident. I don't know what else there is to write about here... Lightroom Masks, I guess? Steve almost died for this episode art. Wake up people, Dustin attempted to murder him. Why isn't anyone calling the cops? Does no one read these show notes? A man's life is on the line. Beer Talk: Steve - Fruity Nuggets 2x by 450 North Brewing Company Dustin - DDH Ever Clear by Bearded Iris Q&A: What would you do if another photographer hired you for a shoot and then lied about how the shoot went as a marketing ploy for their business? How do you respond to clients asking for discounts because they went on too many vacations? Should you supply RAW files to corporate clients? Want more?

Ep. #170 - Do You Have to Pay Second Shooters if They're Terrible?
This week we're going hard in the paint on Q&A. We talk about treatment and pay of second shooters, whether it's okay to call other photographers out when they lie, if you should tell other photographers not to buy DSLRs, whether or not you should have in-laws in family photos, and if you should plan elopements for people before they officially hire you.

Ep. #183 - Kodak Professional Select, Midnight Edition with Kathy Netti and Mollie Beach
This week Steve and Dustin talk to Kathy Netti and Mollie Beach of Kodak Professional about Kodak Professional Select. This is a new software/service from Kodak Professional that helps photographers cull their photo shoots quickly by using AI to group photos and surface the best photos, so that you don't have to look at all the photos where your subjects are blinking. Kodak Professional Select also helps you cull details too by grouping photos of objects in a similar way to how it does photos of people, so you can pick out the most in focus, best looking detail shots from your wedding day too. Steve and Dustin also pitch some pretty great ideas to Kathy and Mollie for Kodak Professional to use going off the basis of this amazing technology, like a special Midnight Edition of the software. If you want to sign up to use Kodak Professional Select just head over to http://www.kproselect.com/ to sign up for your free 30 day trial today.

Ep. #182 - Almost Pornographic Couple Kisses
Dustin and Steve are easing back into the new world of post-covid-vaccine weddings. Dustin is busy with real estate. Steve is trying out new straps for his cameras. Corny puns. Slippery nips. HBO Max. Steve drops big news and then even bigger news to end the episode. Beer Talk: Steve - Bourbon Barrel No Sparge Imperial Golden Ale from Taxman Brewing Co. Dustin - Soft Parade by Short's Brewing Company Q&A: What do you do if you live with someone who gets covid, but you're still testing negative? Do you call off your shoots anyway? Is anyone still on clubhouse? Do you cater to guests who ask for photos of themselves 3 days after a wedding? Have you ever had a couple go at it when you ask them to kiss? Like, really go at it?

Ep. #180 - Roll for Photography with Casey Fatchett of the Nerdy Photographer
This week Steve talks with Casey Fatchettof The Nerdy Photographer (and reposts the video a second time because the first time there was an audio glitch which was embarrassing, but it's fixed now). They talk a lot about Casey's podcast and how he makes it. They also talk about his Heiland 3-Cell Flash Gun. Look it's a pretty tangent heavy episode where Casey mostly entertains Steve with stories about being an actor. He was up for a roll in Vanilla Sky and he was up to do the voice of the Geico Gecko, and he shares with Steve why he didn't get those parts. It's all interlaced with chat about photography and the need for self-care so you don't die shooting weddings. Beer Talk: Casey - 90/~ Wee Heavy from Belhaven Brewery and also some scotch. Steve - Moon Rambler IPA from Founders Brewing Co. Q&A: If I roll a critical fail while shooting a wedding that's making everyone roll to determine how well they'll do (they love DnD)... do I have to critically fail? Should I ask clients if I can bring my own weed to smoke while shooting their weddings since my clients stopped sharing their joints during the pandemic? What sort of wrap can I put on my camera body that looks professional but still shows off my inner nerd? (I would consider anything Doctor Who, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Babylon 5, Star Gate or Farscape related, no Star Wars please) How can I get a client to stop leaving gross emoji memos on venmo when I sell them stuff? My friends think this guy is paying me for sex because it's all eggplant gush or peach gush every time I make a sale to him.

Ep. #176 - The World's #1 Most Stank Proof Photobooth with Brandon Wong of the Photobooth Supply Co.
This week Steve was joined by Brandon Wong of the Photobooth Supply Co. Brandon talked to Steve about why he transitioned from being a wedding photographer to creating a photobooth company that could help photographers and other event vendors make more money. Brandon and Steve also talk about the changes Photobooth Supply Co. made this last year to help their clients keep earning money during the pandemic, and they also talk a little bit about the future of photobooths. Q&A: Where do you get your jumpsuits for conferences? Where do you think AR fits into the future of photobooths? Do you have to encourage guests at events to take dick pics or does that just happen organically? If a skunk sprays your salsa photobooth can you clean off the stank with tomato juice?

Ep. #172 - Should A Luxury Photo Company Use iPhone or Android?
This week we're talking Christmas gifts and the things we missed in 2020 and the things we're looking forward to in 2021. But it's mostly not holiday related. We have updates on birds that rhyme with Sony as well as updates on more terrible things that Pass is doing. We're also talking about the longest exposure photo ever taken, a touchpad replacement for a shutter button and DJI being put on the economic blacklist. Plus, drone photos of landscapes that look rather phallic. Nature's d**k pics. Beer Talk: Steve - Exemption from Taxman Brewing Company Dustin - Yellowstone Bourbon Q&A: What do you do if a second shooter takes a bunch of photos that aren't deliverable in any way, shape or form? Should you switch from Android to iPhone so your photography business brand seems more luxurious? Is it okay to not pay a photographer for their work if they showed up late with a child?

Ep. #171 - Sony Pony Droney Bologna
This episode is weird. Dustin could have sent Steve his audio. Steve could have asked for that audio when he realized it wasn't there... but then Steve's massive frustration with Dustin's weird Skype glitches wouldn't shine through in the episode and then people would just think Steve and Dustin were frustrated for other reasons than technology... So here's that sweet Skype audio everyone craves so that you all know what horrors Steve and Dustin faced. This week we talk about the AirPods Max, Dustin's new fugly Kickstarter shoes (they're worse than moonshoes somehow), and people dying during or after shoots. It's a little bit morose but we promise to handle the topic with same level of tactless crassness that we always bring to the table. We also talk about people developing film in beer. Hell yeah! Finally we talk about the Sony Pony Droney (which we hold is a better name than AirPeak). Beer Talk: Steve - Eirik Bloodaxe (the best beer in the world) by Scarlet Lane Brewing Dustin - Fat Tire by New Belgium Brewing Q&A: WTF is the point of a photographer listing their gear or camera systems in their Instagram info, etc? What do you do if a wedding client is hiring different photographers for different parts of the day? Is it okay to edit noses and dorsal humps of your subjects without talking to them first to make sure it's something they want?

Ep. # 169 & 170 - Moonshoes, M1s, iPhones, and Should You Pay A Second Shooter if They're Terrible?
This is our first episode back after our fraught pre-election episode. It's been a confusing anxiety filled month as our current president refuses to acknowledge that he lost the election. He lost bigly. But we're finally back with an episode full of confusing jokes and poorly done accents. We're talking about Cole Haans and Hush Puppies in followup (trademark John Siracusa) then it's on to talking about RSI issues. Steve's been having a lot. While looking for a new office chair, Steve found some humorous questions and answers on Amazon's site (Dustin doesn't find them amusing at all). We also talk about squishy things to pillow the wrist while using a keyboard and mouse and standing desk converters. Then we talk about bad SEO advice and Parler (and you thought we were done with the political talk in the opener... somebody please end it). Also, Dustin talks about his Santa sessions and Steve mentions his frustrations with Pixifi (which isn't as good as hornybook which is a software that will get you there, according to Dustin). We also spend a long time talking about the M1 chips and the new iPhone's camera (primarily as a result of Josh Wither's fantastic blog post comparing his different iPhone cameras over the years). In the second half/Q&A of the show: This week we're going hard in the paint on Q&A. We talk about treatment and pay of second shooters, whether it's okay to call other photographers out when they lie, if you should tell other photographers not to buy DSLRs, whether or not you should have in-laws in family photos, and if you should plan elopements for people before they officially hire you. In the post show we talk about 30 Rock, Neil Gaiman's American Gods, Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series and the Stormlight Archive series, and also the Harley Quinn series. It's a book heavy post show... well, audiobooks (our biggest competitor... why are we doing this?). For full show notes for each of the episodes contained within this one, giant sprawling e
