Photography Xperiment Podcast

The Photo Xperiment podcast is an interview based photography podcast where Andrew Hellmich focusses on getting inside the heads of working professional photographers. This is the photography podcast where you will hear answers to the questions you want answered about why your favourite photographers do what they do and how they do it. More than that, Andrew will dive deeper and find answers to what makes these photographers tick, how they achieved their style, what equipment and techniques they use and just how they got to where they are today. The perfect compliment to the business side of photography and the Photo Biz Xposed podcast, also by Andrew Hellmich - The Photo Xperiment Podcast looks more at the creative side of the professional photographer behind the images. These interviews concentrate on what the photographers do, their philosophy, the thought process behind their photography, why they do what they do. The idea is to get inside their head and learn what makes them tick. The show is not a how to take photos or what camera and lens should I buy but more about living life as a photographer and pursuing the image before the cash.

    TPX30: Michelle Szpak – The business of motorcycle and automotive photography

    Michelle Szpak of www.szpak.co.uk has been shooting for over 15 years and specialises in motorcycle and automotive photography. Not the classifieds type of car and bike phots, what Michelle creates are special, incredibly lit art pieces for her clients. Her byline reads… Unique, passion-fuelled professional Automotive photography of your pride and joy. Creating Artwork for your Walls that last a lifetime. But it hasn't always been all about incredible images of beautiful motorcycles and fancy cars! Michelle started with the idea of being a landscape and animal photographer before moving on to portraits – that was 12 years ago. Then in 2013, she photographed her first motorcycle, and automotive photography has been the focus since. The images our guest creates are works of art that require a fantastic imagination, expert lighting skills and an understanding of composition any photographer would die for. You might be surprised at the lighting she uses to showcase the cars and bikes (examples below). Michelle shares techniques and more, including the business and sales side of her photography, in this interview.  Big thanks to ImagenAI for sponsoring and making this episode possible.

    TPX26: Scott & Erick – no more third party platforms to sell your photography

    Erick Danzer and Scott Wyden Kivowitz of www.imagely.com are two of the guys behind a new automated lab fulfilment for photographers with WordPress websites. I asked both guys onto the podcast after reading about what could be a game-changing service for photographers who want to sell directly from their WordPress websites. My first thought was – is this the end of services like Pixieset, Pic-time and Shoot-proof? Erick Danzer is the man behind-the-scenes at Imagely. His focus is on ensuring Imagely gives back to the photography community through the Imagely Fund and other initiatives. Scott Wyden Kivowitz who was interviewed for episode 274 of the PhotoBizX Podcast and is the Chief Community Officer at Imagely, a father, blogger, photographer and educator. He's the author of multiple photography books, and often educates photographers about WordPress via blogging and YouTube. If the idea of doing away with a third-party print and file selling solution like Pic-Time, Smugmug, Photoshelter, Zenfolio, Shootproof, Cloudspot or Pixiset sounds attractive… it'll be worth listening to what Erick and Scott have to share. Here’s some of what we cover: What is your big takeaway? Following this interview, I’d love to read your feedback and comments. Was there something from this interview that struck a chord, inspired or motivated you? Will you take any kind of action after hearing what Scott & Erick had to share? I often think of businesses being very simple but not always easy. – Erick Danzer Let me know by leaving your thoughts in the comments below. If you have any questions that I missed, a specific question you’d like to ask Scott & Erick or if you just want to say thanks for coming on the show, feel free to add them below too. Be excellent at whatever you're doing. – Scott Wyden Kivowitz Without product excellence, you don't get off the ground. – Erick Danzer If you want to succeed, you really need just two things.

    TPX25: Angie Connell – Creative photography is alive and well

    Angie Connell of www.angieconnellphotography.com.au is arguably the most creative photographer I've interviewed for the podcast. It's rare in the world of photography today to see something unique or to see a photographer creating something different from the norm. In a social media run world where we are over saturated by imagery, it feels like an impossible task to be different, to find your specialty and stand out from the crowd. At the same time, we're told to find what moves us as a person, as a photographer, an artist and focus on that. And if we do, if we let our unique voice come to the surface and shine through in our work, we will find we have no competition. We're told, do this and we'll connect with our perfect clients who will be drawn to our vision and life as a successful creator will be assured. The problem is… finding and recognising that unique voice and translating it to our work is tough. Today's guest has done exactly this. I've always tried to produce work that speaks to me and speaks to the subject and sort of infuse my humour in it. – Angie Connell Her photography is unique, it's captivating, thought-provoking, inspiring, funny, quirky and just damn good. She shoots conceptual pet photography for the quirky pet lovers in this world. She's becoming more and more recognised within the industry by her peers and I have a feeling, she will become known around the world if she continues to produce the work she has been. I'm talking about Angie Connell and I'm rapt to have her with us now. Angie, welcome! A big thanks to The Image Salon for sponsoring this episode of the podcast and making the show possible. If outsourcing your editing is something you're currently doing or considering, please put the guys at The Image Salon to the test… I think you'll be blown away! They service some of the biggest names in the industry including Fer Juaristi, Two Mann Studios, Gabe McClintock and Edwina Robertson to name a few.   Here’s some of what we cover: What is your big takeaway? Following this interview, I’d love to read your feedback and comments. Was there something from this interview that struck a chord, inspired or motivated you? Will you take any kind of action after hearing what Angie had to share? I have to always remind myself that sometimes my failures are not what other people would consider failures. – Angie Connell Let me know by leaving your thoughts in the comments below. If you have any questions that I missed, a specific question you’d like to ask Angie or if you just want to say thanks for coming on the show, feel free to add them below too. My personal work is more for me to try new things out and whether it succeeds or fails is always something to be seen. – Angie Connell I struggle with perfectionism in my images a lot like I spend so much time working on an image that you'd become obsessed with the little details when the bigger picture is very much there. – Angie Connell If you can't get what you want, then you have to work around that and sort of adjust the concept a little bit. – Angie Connell Links to people, places and things mentioned in this episode: Angie Connell Website Oddball Tails Oddball Tails on Instagram a href="https://www.facebook.

    Audio Diary 6 – Peterborough Portrait and Wedding Photographer Dan Waters

    Dan Waters of www.danwaterscreative.com and www.getprophotoclub.com agreed to record this interview while driving fr0m Peterborough to Cambridge for me to play tourist for a day and for Dan to reminisce and play tour guide to the university town he grew up in. Once we got past the topic of Bobby, his incredibly loved dog who lives a life better than most children, we moved on to business and life as a photographer in Peterborough. In the conversation, Dan shares his ideals on time management, living a life worth living and how he's been able to achieve such a wonderful balance by not being a slave to the clock and curating his business to fit around his life. Interestingly, Dan was super shy as a youngster and has overcome that – not that you'd ever know listening to him today. Hearing this, it became a topic I focused on, along with wedding and portrait photography business, networking, the laughing club, his man-kind project and what it's like to be the world's most helpful photographer. Links to people, places and things mentioned in this episode: Dan's Website Dan's Facebook Page Dan on Instagram Dan's interview on PhotoBizX Dan's PREMIUM interview on PhotoBizX Get Pro Photo Club Follow up Questions for Dan Thanks again for listening and big thanks to Dan for allowing me to record this interview at a moments notice and not running up the back of the track while trying to answer my questions with your full attention. If you have any suggestions, comments or questions about this episode, please be sure to leave them below in the comment section of this post, and if you liked the episode, please share it using the social media buttons you see at the bottom of the post!

    Audio Diary 5 – London Documentary Wedding Photographer Mark Seymour

    Mark Seymour of www.markseymourphotography.co.uk hosted an industry dinner that coincided with my time in London and I was lucky enough to be invited along. There were photographers, high-end function coordinators, a photography business coach, an album company representative, a wedding marketing startup sales person and an incredible meal hosted by Mark and Karen at their lovely home. The idea of these dinners/get-togethers (this is the second time Mark has hosted a dinner like this) is to network, make friends and meet other professionals from within the industry on a more personal and relaxed level than something like a conference or workshop. And what a success it was! In this candid interview, recorded the morning after the dinner while walking through Mark's home, admiring his collection of photography, which includes an original Henri Cartier Bresson, and his library of photography books, Mark opens up and shares his thoughts on wedding and street photography, workshops, the dinner, making it as a photographer in today's market, collecting photography, the learning curve and so much more. I hope you get as much from this interview as I did in recording it. My other hope is you come away from this episode with ideas of your own to meet and mingle with other professionals in your area and see what these relaxed gatherings can do to enhance both your life, knowledge, business and love of photography and what you do. Links to people, places and things mentioned in this episode: Mark's Website Mark's Facebook Page Mark on Twitter Mark on Instagram Mark's interview on PhotoBizX Mark's PREMIUM interview on PhotoBizX Follow up Questions for Mark Thanks again for listening and big thanks to Mark for allowing me to record this short interview at a moments notice. If you have any suggestions, comments or questions about this episode, please be sure to leave them below in the comment section of this post, and if you liked the episode, please share it using the social media buttons you see at the bottom of the post! That’s it for me this week, hope everything is going well for you in life and business! Thanks and speak soon Andrew
