| #47 - A Sound Improvement?? | 15 Dec 2020 | 00:14:26 | |
A quick episode to bring you up-to-date. I was not happy with the sound quality on #46 so moved my recording desk/location, re-worked the EQ settings and here it is - I am much happier and hope that you will be too!
Also covered:
A recent Production Stills shoot I did for "A Christmas Carol" at the Rotherhithe Playhouse in London
My "Lockdown Shutdown" for Headshot bookings until 01/03/2021 and rationale behind it
Some wonderful compliments from my recent video
A chat with a car salesman that led to a much longer chat about photography!
Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

| #46 - Back in Podcastland! | 09 Dec 2020 | 00:42:42 | |
Weather - is more typical now, snow in the forecast too
Dentist - was fine but possible crown, and now another visit required
Covid-19 - exited Lockdown 2, now in Tier 2, headlines today suggest we should probably be in Tier 3. However, vaccinations have started (V Day), w.e.f. yesterday (08/12/20).
Headshot Work - one booked in, then cancelled, so not great. Stopped spending on ads for now, it can get very costly
Video Work - Charity edit done, Croydon video doing well, one ad job is mid-shoot, funeral shoot two weeks ago & delivered (sharing around the world), Local Shops video live, one booking confirmed for 2021, a follow-up interview planned in early 2021, and some family video work slated. Livestreaming of funerals - setup, risks, speed, numbers - won’t pursue
Product Work - Done some more for Sue, possible local shop shoot if time allows
Learning/Other - FCP Summit (virtual) whole week. Good event, now revisiting the sessions and updating my notes. Learned a lot
Gear - eBay bargains, Lastolite Cubelite, Genus Shoulder Rig with Camera Mount & Follow Focus. Did some housekeeping so now ordered more storage, moved iMac to Big Sur today, Capture One on new version.
US Election!

| #45 - One Year On | 15 Oct 2020 | 00:16:10 | |

Training in video, at Pro AV in Hemel Hempstead
Headshots with various people
Relaxed prep for 2020
Great trip to Palma, Mallorca in Jan. Used lightweight kit for the first time
Headshot Mania in Las Vegas
Covid-19 struck the World!!!
Worked on video
Worked on website - Squarespace 7.1
Got some paid video work
Prepared for a return to Headshot work
Clients from July
Video work continuing strongly
Oh, and gear purchases and sales have taken place regularly throughout
So what next?
Preparing more videos for my channel
Chipping away at Stock when time allows
Starting something else - to be revealed in a future episode!

| #44 - Autumn (Fall) Update - a mixed bag | 09 Oct 2020 | 00:26:43 | |
Weather & News - we have switched to much cooler weather, but most of September was warm and sunny 😎
Dentist - appointment booked - for October 12th 😩
Covid-19 - Rule of 6, 10pm pub/restaurant closures, numbers rising fairly quickly, may bring in 3 Tier statuses 😕
Client Work - booking came in for November. Did my own selfie session. Booking due next week. Sorted out gear storage. 😁
Video Work - Profile video/advert - live on my About page and YouTube. More in planning phase. Healthy Teaching "About" Video. Other quote. 😁
Learning/Other - The Photography Show (virtual) was ok - need a grid for sessions. Helen Sloan interesting 1.4M GoT images 😳
Gear - Neewer smartphone rig (now £2.50 cheaper!), & iRig Pre HD (now £2 cheaper!). PolarPro CPL - paid for via gear sales 😁
Furniture changes, quick bed sale, old sofa to charity, new seats in place 😁
This podcast is now available on Amazon Music 😁

| #43 - Calming Down, Tidying Up! | 08 Sep 2020 | 00:34:15 | |
Weather & News - it was hot, then it cooled, then the garage flooded, now humid again but autumn is on the way
Sue has been in hospital - twice!
Covid-19 - positive cases on the up. 20-30 year olds - rules still confusing. My tweet went a bit viral 160 likes, 37 replies and lots of mess. Twitter now allows you to limit responses
Client Work - quieter but he given me a chance to do other things and sort out my ads, marketing & admin a bit. Hamlet on the Beach stills shoot was excellent! And Lola’s shoot on Sunday was the best of the lot by far!!
Learning/Other - Garage flooding. Now garage tidying, ruthless chucking out. Will store non-electrical heavy duty photography gear out there when finished
Gear - not much happening, used both Z6 bodies for the Hamlet shoot, delighted with the files. Ordered some EN-EL15c batteries from Wex, no stock currently.
Working on my marketing and organisation, will write some articles based on recent experiences. May also revisit Stock as I have plans in that regard.
| |||
| #42 - Busy, Busy, Busy! | 02 Aug 2020 | 00:31:23 | |
Using my new and rather organised approach, this episode covers the following:
Weather & News - one hot day the rest mixed! Covid-19 - does anyone really understand the rules?
Client Work - great mix of Headshot Clients, fun sessions, getting back into it and thoroughly enjoying shooting again
Learning/Other - Video work has been the main feature here and cool to put it into practise with Client work
Gear - mainly using it, a delayed order arrived and an order I placed didn't arrive! More eBay selling happening
Headshot and Video clients booked in for August - Happy Days!

| #41 - Things are Picking Up | 07 Jul 2020 | 00:25:06 | |
A mixed bag of content in this episode:

Falconeyes F& Pocketlight - LED feature packed light
Opening for business on 13/07/20
Covid-19 Policy and cleaning/screening purchases
Marketing success - Cient Bookings
Birthday Message video edit
Charity video edit
Audio track recording for a monologue video

| #40 - Getting Ready | 15 Jun 2020 | 00:21:53 | |
Catching up on how we are getting ready for something approaching "normal". I talk about my fitness regime of Yoga and Golf (!) - I also talk about some recent gear purchases and how time is flying despite the situation we are in. Please feel free to leave a review on iTunes or your usual listening platform, it will be much appreciated.
| |||
| #39 - Lockdown Learning | 23 May 2020 | 00:28:43 | |
A catch-up on how I have been completely occupied during lockdown by putting time and effort into learning video from the ins and outs of preparing and shooting through to the editing process. I found the FroKnowsPhoto Guides to Shooting Video and Editing Video highly valuable. I've also moved my website to Squarespace 7.1 and added a Synology NAS to my storage capability.
| |||
| #38 - It's our Wedding Anniversary! | 22 Apr 2020 | 00:27:16 | |

It was my pleasure to interview London-based Portrait/Headshot photographer Ivan Weiss for this show. You will hear Ivan's story, get into his photographic influences and style and go slightly technical to learn about how he puts it all together.
Ivan is very active on Instagram, can also be found on Twitter and his website is here. He is also a Mentor in Peter Hurley's Headshot Crew - have a listen for how this came about!
