Canon Conversations – Details, episodes & analysis

Canon Ambassador Alisha Lovrich is just as much an athlete as she is photographer and because of this she has an innate understanding of what the people on the other side of her lens are going through. This allows her to see what other photographers can't and most importantly, gain the trust of her subjects. In this episode Canon NZ host Ben Journee will be chatting to Alisha about how she turned her two passions into an exciting career, and her experiences at some of the biggest sporting events from across the world including Olympic games in Tokyo.

Today we’re putting the social back in social media and talking to commercial photographer @liamvandenberk about how he uses Instagram to build his professional community, promote his work and get booked on jobs.

We talk about the importance of curating a brand for yourself as a photographer and Liam gives us his tips on how to craft a strong, cohesive grid that stops potential clients in their tracks and makes them say “we need to work with that person!”

A successful photography business is more like a touring indie band than you realise…

On today’s show we’re chatting with Si Moore, one half of legendary wedding photography duo Bayly & Moore about the importance of making work that people can be fans of. Si is no stranger to podcasts and he certainly delivers the goods today, making my job as a host about as easy as it’s going to get!

If you’ve ever had a potential client email just asking “how much will this cost?” and it seems like they’ve sent the same email to 10 other photographers, this episode is for you. Si tells us why we should be aiming to “make fans always” because when someone is a fan of your work, they make decisions based on their heart, not their head…

2020 has been crazy, so many things are happening in the world right now and I’m sure as photographers we’ve, at one point thought, “how can I help?”.

On today’s show we’re talking with Canon Pro Grant winner Michelle Hyslop about her project on the Kauri Dieback prevention efforts and how we can use our creative outlet of photography to engender change in the world around us and help support the causes we believe in.

Todays topic probably comes up the most when I ask photographers what they'd want to hear from a podcast episode, and that doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

Running a business, knowing what to charge, thinking about contracts and formal processes are things that creative people naturally have blocks with and yet they are essential to turn our passion into a stable, lifelong career.

Today I'm talking with commercial food photographer Nick T and getting him to shed some light on these often neglected subjects.

Notepads at the ready fam, there's lots to learn!
