    Episode 159: Have you experienced this Lightroom glitch?

    Hey hey! Today we chat about a pretty dumb Lightroom glitch where the image doesn't skip when you want it to - and through our own testing we might've found a workaround! Tom also gets hustled by a Facebook Marketplace user - but Big T get the last laugh. We also chat more about the a9iii... what a beast!

    158: Less portraits, more photojournalism

    158: Less portraits, more photojournalism

    Hi Snappers

    In 159 Greg and Thom discuss a big shift in mindset when it comes to shooting weddings: that of shooting fewer portraits, and allocating less portrait time, and placing more emphasis on documenting the day as a whole, and shooting more like a photojournalist.
    Thom has also discovered the G.O.A.T of Lightroom shortcut key software: PowerKeys!

    157: Tom has a road kill story and Greg talks workflows

    157: Tom has a road kill story and Greg talks workflows

    Yo yo! So Tom has a pretty savage road kill story that kinda kills the mood... then Greg tries to salvage it with a workflow epiphany. No matter how hard we try to talk about things unrelated to photography we keep seeming to make them link back to photo stuff!

    Episode 156: 'FloGate' and Greg might transition to a studio business model

    Episode 156: 'FloGate' and Greg might transition to a studio business model

    Greetings, Snappers

    Today's episode has some SERIOUS thicc topics and some mega deep cuts!

    First, we chat about FloGate - Pixieset's recent decision to kill off FloThemes, the Wordpress theme company we all know and love (and most of us use). Thom explains how he has already bailed and fully rebuilt his website with Kadence blocks.

    Greg then drops the bombshell that he's considering moving to a studio business model - taking bookings then sending out associate shooters to shoot the weddings, while keeping all admin and editing in-house. We talk about the positives and negatives of this approach, and the logistics of this kind of move.

    We also babble on about obscure Simpsons songs :)

    Episode 154: Clients THINK they want unposed photos... but do they really?

    Episode 154: Clients THINK they want unposed photos... but do they really?

    THE SNAPPENING RETURNETH

    Hey everyone, we are back! Sorry it's been a while. Greg and Thom have both been traveling, and while we did take microphones with us and really wanted to record on the road, we just didn't get there. Super stoked to be back into it and record weekly again.

    In episode 154 we start off with a good old rant. We've noticed that some photographers keep their books closed for a certain future period, and then make a big fanfare about opening them up. In this episode we get down the nitty gritty on why people do this. We also talk about clients who THINK they want non-posed photos.... but is this actually what they want?

    The answers to these questions and many more lie in today's episode, come check it out!
