Wedding Photo Hangover Wedding Photo Hangover

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?

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.

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?

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.

Adam Mason of The Bearded Tog and Mason Photography joins us this week to talk about life, photography, music, cryptocurrency, scientific films, dogecoin and the movie Whiplash. Steve and Adam also talk about conference photography, political photography, and commercial work. The also talk about whether or not your mortgage company cares about how you made your money.



Q&A:
Should I let my husband second shoot for other female photographers when he's never shown an interest in it before but one of my competitors keeps asking if she can hire him?
I grew my beard out and we stopped booking clients, should I shave my beard so we can make money again?
My sister thinks her photographer deleted her wedding photos because I brought my camera to the wedding. She's demanding I pay for a new wedding or else produce a complete gallery of her wedding when I didn't shoot anything but getting ready. What do I do?
I booked a client at a discount because I was supposed to get show photos from their BDSM conference on my site but when I showed up they took my phone and cards and forbid me from saving any photos anywhere. Can I ask for more money now since they didn't live up to their end of the agreement?
