    Episode #250: Arturo + Lauren / Photographers / Filmmakers

    Architectural and Interior photography and filmmaking team Arturo + Lauren join the podcast to talk about their individual journeys into the space of architectural image and motion capture and how they would end up coming together as creative partners, as well as a couple, to form the brand and portfolio they are known for today, as well as the social network of other architectural and interior photographers they created with The Shifter Community.  During our conversation we talk about what first attracted them to architecture and design, how they go about uniquely marketing and branding themselves, the importance of seo as well as in person events, the differences between real estate photography and architectural work, and the advice they give to others trying to carve out their own spot in an ever growing industry.

    Episode #249: Tom Oldham / Photographer

    Celebrity portrait and commercial photographer and Sony Ambassador Tom Oldham joins the podcast from his London studio to talk about his journey from growing up in the small rural town of Dorset to photographing some of the most recognizable faces in the world, and earning awards like Amateur Photographer Magazine's 2023 "Hero Of Photography" and Sony's "World Open Photographer Of The Year" in 2020.  During our conversation Tom talks about how the burgeoning rave scene of the UK would end up changing the course of his life and put a camera in his hand to begin documenting the culture he loved so much and all the amazing ups and downs his career has brought him since.  He also gives a behind the scenes look at what it's like to photograph subjects like Rick Rubin, Nick Cave, Liam Gallagher, and so many more.  Lastly we talk about longevity in a career as fickle as photography and what he feels has been his secret to not burning out, how he approaches all the personal projects he has become known for over the years, and the advice he gives to other creatives chasing their own dreams.

    Episode #246: David Donnelly / Filmmaker

    Episode #246: David Donnelly / Filmmaker

    Filmmaker and artist David Donnelly joins the podcast to talk about his newest documentary film "The Cost of Convenience" that sheds light on the pervasive impact of surveillance capitalism on our privacy, autonomy, and democracy.  David has spent many years creating documentary films in the classical music realm, but when Covid came along and shut down the live performance spaces he was so accustomed to, he found himself exploring the exponential rise in the dependence of social media platforms and other spaces that exploded during the pandemic. When he set out with a goal of documenting our addiction to this technology, he had no idea of the massive story that would begin to unfold of the other nefarious aspects hiding in plane site, and how his film would adapt to try and tell a much broader story over years of work and countless days of travel.  During our conversation we discuss the last analog generation that we both come from, the inability for people to just be bored and how that is affecting creativity, the conversation that needs to be had about the future of social media, and so much more.

Great content.

So thankful for the content on this show.
Both entertaining and very motivating Ric provides insight into other creatives life stories thus giving the listeners perspective and perhaps even some guidance. Oh , great sound quality too.
Thanks Ric!

Has potential

Host has great guests and insightful conversations, but talks about himself way too much while talking to high profile guests. I’m not listening to hear about the host, only about the guests. The host is trying to relate to the guests but often ends up on minutes long tangents.

One of the best shows for creatives

Such a great show!
