Heading to WPPI 2023 in Las Vegas? That's the Wedding and Portrait Photographers International for those who don't know, and it's the largest photography convention around.
Our guest for this episode, and, for the moment, the most frequent guest on the show, Leighton DaCosta  is giving us a preview of the convention as well as thoughts on what to do while you're in Vegas.
But that's not all we are discussing in this episode. We also touch on why it is important for photographers to have insurance, both on your gear and liability insurance.
Finally, we touch on machine learning and artificial intelligence and how photographers can benefit from implementing it in their business. More on AI and photography coming in future episodes!

Leighton DaCosta, or “LD” as many know him by, is a Wedding and Fine Art Portrait Photographer based in Southern California. He started his photography business more than 15 years ago while serving in the Navy. Due to the military requirements, he learned to make his studio “interstate mobile” as he has operated for extended periods in Virginia, Florida, Utah, Georgia, South Carolina, and California. He’s conducted photo assignments in exotic and remote places such as Dubai, Jamaica, and Aruba; as well as several years flying over Afghanistan.

When not creating content of his own, Leighton diligently works at educating photographers and others in the industry in not only content creation but also in business practices geared for the creative.

You can check out Leighton’s website at LeightonD.com, and follow along with him on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

 

Have you ever considered getting into fine art school photography? Not entirely sure what that is? Your experience with school photos is probably limited to a photographer spending approximately 30 seconds with you (if that) and praying that one of the three exposures they took looks decent enough to be printed. Luckily, today there are other options.
In this episode of the podcast, I speak with Connecticut portrait photographer, Lindsey Victoria, about the fine art school portrait niche and how you can get started on adding this service. We go over gear you might find helpful, how to reach out to potential schools, as well as tips on prompting your subjects and much more.
Lindsey has a bunch of freebies available - check further down in the notes - as well as a discount code for her upcoming WPPI photo walk!

About My Guest
"My name is Leandro Da Silva and I love capturing the moment and it's emotion. I am an award-winning wedding and portrait photographer based in the NJ/NY area. I am known for creating dramatic and romantic photos. The composition, lighting and posing combined to create photos that you can be proud of hanging on your walls. “Epicness”, is a word that comes to mind when my couples reference my artwork. It’s not just a photo, it’s a “Masterpiece”.
