    EP 78 - Charge Photographers Money for their sake! A Creatively Disruptive Episode!

    Summary: In this episode of the Dare Photography Podcast, Gary Lashmar cuts straight through the romantic nonsense around “free support” and calls out a hard truth: people are more invested when they pay. Drawing on years of running Dare workshops and a large creative community, Gary explains why money sharpens attention, commitment, and willingness — and why so many photographers say they want growth but quietly avoid the discomfort it demands. This is a disruptive, no-b******t look at why support only works when people are actually supportable. The episode also digs into what Dare really is — tough love, creative responsibility, and learning to drop borrowed reference points so originality has somewhere to come from. Gary talks workshops versus communities, why group work matters, why magic tricks don’t exist, and why being wrong is part of getting better. He also lifts the curtain on what’s coming next: the Dare Patreon, deeper post-production support, live shoots, Zoom sessions, and the launch of ModFace — a new chapter built on 17 years of professional work across street, portraiture, editorial, and brand photography. If this episode makes you uncomfortable, that’s the point. This podcast isn’t here to soothe you — it’s here to challenge you.
