I got an email asking me to share the shoot I did in the slot canyons with Lauren Hurlbut. I have most of the pictures on Instagram but not specifically all in one link like it would be if I were still uploading things to tumblr. Oh well.
The photographer wanted to reference my images for a shoot he'll be doing in a similar location.
"My idea is to make my shoot along the lines of the ones you did with Lauren: poses...

A quick response to the podcast yesterday. To get better models you need a better portfolio. Right? Right.
But is that what I said?
I try and go more in depth to the response yesterday. Inappropriate photographers, variety (depth and specificity), Instagram image selection/layout, create and control your audience's attention, shooting for ArsenicTV, and more.

I kind of think that this was once a blog post or possibly even another podcast.
Too bad.
One of the most common questions in my workshops is "What does it take for any given photographer to do what I do?" Most often this question takes the form of, "How do I get to shoot beautiful fashion models naked like you?"
Admittedly there isn't a simple answer. That said, much of what I do is managing perceptions, particul...

This podcast is long. But it rewards you in spades if you listen all the way through. It's one of the few that I actually like. When was the last time you heard me say that!
This podcast is the result of a conversation I had with a model earlier in the day. We talked about my style and the evolution of that style. She asked me who my favorite photographers (Avedon/Demarchelier) were and I attempted to feebly explain why...

Did I just make a podcast talking about cycling pain? Jesus Christ.
So why do I ride the Rose Bowl group ride Tuesdays/Thursdays? It's dangerous. Painful. And yet it gives me so much.
Except what exactly does it give me? And what, if any, are the ties to photography? Listen and find out.

Disclaimer: This stuff is really technical. If you're not interested in color accuracy and listening to my thoughts about it, then this podcast is definitely not for you.
This (probably too long of a) podcast is about my brief history with color accurate displays and my challenges and experiences with them. There's about 30 minutes of history as I run through what I bought and why. And then there's about 10 minutes of d...

In a Facebook conversation with some photographers I wound up showing some of the shots from the last podcast. Yeah, the one where I said I was disappointed in the results because I wasn't getting proper variety and also that she was always on the ground.
Well, I was wrong. Kind of. It turned out to be one of the best sets I've shot. So what gives? Did I just lie to you guys for entertainment value? Not exactly. What it...

When the photographer make rookie mistakes during the shoot and the retoucher has to polish these turds.
Homey don't play that!
This is what happens when you think you're better than you really are. Unfortunately for me, I am both the photographer and the retoucher so basically I'm upset at myself. And yes, at some point in the past I actually thought there wasn't much left for me to learn in photography. Tisk tisk t...

Let's say hypothetically your model requests specific photos from the shoot? What do you do? And hypothetically, why does she even have any photos to reference? Oh you hypothetically let her take phone pics of the pictures on your camera? You hypothetical dumbass.
This podcast is about process and how specific parts of the process are sacred (yes, all of it).

Sometimes we don't see the forest from the trees. Sometimes we polish turds. The point is that as photographers this is a tough lesson to learn.
Also, being away gives you new perspective. Can we be more optimistic? Why should we be more optimistic? How does one cultivate creativity?

The following is the formal exposé to the topic. It was written to Tabatha for her professors and her to read for her photography class. As such, there is much overlap between the podcast and the written version below, but not entirely:
This was supposed to be a review of my experience with my intern Tabatha, but it evolved into a commentary of theory vs. practice.
Let me first be clear that my time with Tabatha was ...

Rather than be a critical about Capture One shortcomings, I look at this question from the other direction. What the hell did I want out of Capture One?
The podcast I referenced Capture One (Part III) http://lucima.podomatic.com/entry/2016-08-11T23_38_43-07_00
edit: I really wish C1 had a gradient tool!

Philadelphia is not part of New England.
Listen past the point when I prematurely end the podcast. There's a "post script" portion to the podcast.
I'm going to stop saying "you know", you know?
Wow, there's a really rough learning lesson at the end of the podcast. Brutal. Charles you dream killer, you.
Okay, I'm happier with this podcast.

Please forgive me for sounding tired and drowsy. It's a little early for podcasting (apparently). I'll try not to fire up the recorder at 8AM anymore.
In this podcast I talk about philosophy of shooting. And Tabatha's critique of my philosophy of shooting. Her conclusion was that I had no philosophy. If you can get through the groggy retelling of the premise, hopefully you'll be handsomely rewarded with some insight to ...

My 30-day trial is over. Now I have to make a decision. Do I buy it or not? My sentiments have shifted over the full 30 days and the answer might surprise you.
The word of the day is CONVERGE.

5 years ago I went into the local hobby shop to inquire about an RC helicopter capable of handling a DSLR payload. Sans camera and 2nd operator the estimate topped $8k. I failed to mention this in the podcast but this is probably the starting point of it all.
Some more background information for you to consider. All the cool "flying shots" in all the videos I've ever done were shot with either long depth of field or fai...

Nearly a year ago, I told you guys a story about a model who pulled a fast one on me. She agreed to shoot nudity in our texts and then when I arrived to our shoot she reneged on our agreement. (Rules of Engagement and True Intentions http://lucima.podomatic.com/entry/2015-07-29T11_47_11-07_00)
So it happened again. Except the outcome was totally different. What changed? How do I feel this time? What is the effective dif...
