Awesome Podcast for Second Shooters AND Main Photographers
Disclaimer: Allison has worked for me many times lately as a 2nd shooter and I love having her work with me. That being said, this podcast is excellent. It would have been awesome to have when I first started as a photographer, many years ago. She articulates well and weaves the story of the day and the "gig" so you want to hear more. I find her voice so calming yet not boring. It's interesting as a main photographer to hear what you could have done better to prep your team, what matters to the second photographer, and also the little details she notices that happen throughout an event. The format is great too - pre-event, driving home from the event and then her final assessment in her office. Sometimes as main photographers we don’t ever hear about the 2nds thoughts. Well done Allison.
