Trying to get started with making a business out of your photography is not an easy task and there are lots of people out there who are willing to take your money to tell you what you need to do to be successful. The problem is, not everyone out there is going to give you good advice nor are some of these experts even qualified to tell you how to be successful if they haven’t even done it themselves. Before dropping any money with anybody for any business training, do your homework and read reviews before dropping money on any workshops. One of the more controversial pieces lately is The Photo System by David Jay. In this “system” David gives ten steps to get started. In this podcast, hosts Kerry Garrison and Chris Diset go through the ten steps and give their own commentary.

Welcome back to the Camera Dojo podcast. I know some people really liked the GoCast series and some people didn’t. Overwhelmingly people asked for more of a standard audio podcast with a co-host like the earlier shows. The new co-host for the show is Chris Diset, a wedding photographer from southern California. In this episode, we talk about lenses. During the show we covers our favorite lenses, how to choose a lens for different tasks, zoom versus prime lenses, and then we wrap up by each picking one lens we would choose if we could only take one.

WPPI is coming up in mid-February which may seem a ways out, but if you are going, you should make your plans today. What is WPPI? WPPI is the yearly convention for wedding and portrait photographers. At WPPI you will find some amazing speakers, a huge expo floor, and a wonderful community of fellow photographers. Should you go? What should you do there? Hopefully this GoCast will answer those questions. //www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcBbEaDAJjU WPPI Parties Group: http://www.facebook.com/groups/315432758592/ Host: Kerry Garrison Sponsors: GoPro, Blackbelt Lighting © admin for Camera Dojo, 2011. | Permalink | 5 comments | Add to del.icio.us Post tags: Education, GoCast, podcast, Tradeshow, wppi Feed enhanced by Better Feed from Ozh The post GoCast #17 – What is this WPPI thing all about appeared first on Camera Dojo.

In this episode, I discuss the ago old question…is it the photographer or the gear? At almost any event someone will likely say “That’s looks like a great camera, it must take awesome pictures” and over the years people have argued that you can hand a point and shoot camera to a great photographer and they can make amazing photos with it. Is there any truth behind these statements? Let’s dive into the issue and see what we come up with. //www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvKEWYdkdLs Show Host: Kerry Garrison Sponsors: GoPro, Blackbelt Lighting © admin for Camera Dojo, 2011. | Permalink | 2 comments | Add to del.icio.us Post tags: Education, GoCast, photo gear, Photography, podcast Feed enhanced by Better Feed from Ozh The post GoCast #16 – Is it the photographer or the gear? appeared first on Camera Dojo.

In this episode Kerry discusses issues with the current state of photography education and why it is in such a mess these days. The main problem is that some instructors, both in certain schools as well as photographer-turned-workshop gurus, often fill people with horrifically unrealistic expectations about what they can hope to accomplish as a photographer. In the US the average income for photographers is $29,000 while the average income in the US is $44,000 putting the average photographer not only well below the US average, but actually below poverty level. I’m not trying to crush any dreams here but I think you need to have very realistic expectations and pick the instructors and classes that are actually teaching you skills and setting you up for success and not just trying to keep their own pockets filled. //www.youtube.com/watch?v=TF0VP-AzJ7E Host: Kerry Garrison Sponsors: GoPro / Blackbelt Lighting Products © admin for Camera Dojo, 2011. | Permalink | 2 comments | Add to del.icio.us Post tags: Education, GoCast, Photography, podcast, workshops Feed enhanced by Better Feed from Ozh The post GoCast #15 – What’s Wrong With Photography Education appeared first on Camera Dojo.

In this episode I talk about making sure you don’t burn bridges. This includes making sure you treat customers, venues, coordinators, and others even if its not exactly what you want to do every time. Situations will come up that can seriously stress your patience and professionalism but you often need to look past that and take the higher road. In the end, this will pay off for you instead of giving you the reputation of being a jerk.

In this episode I discus making images that will stand the test of time. Sometimes we get caught up in trends that we may look back on later and wonder what we were thinking. In the past we have seen trends like grunge layers, textures, vignettes, and other techniques that even a year or two later is no longer “in fashion” and will date your images. //www.youtube.com/watch?v=xecIEaRhzxA Show Sponsors GoPro Blackbelt Lighting Learning Photography eBooks © admin for Camera Dojo, 2011. | Permalink | No comment | Add to del.icio.us Post tags: GoCast, Images, Photography, podcast, Style Feed enhanced by Better Feed from Ozh The post GoCast #13 – Are You Creating Dated Images? appeared first on Camera Dojo.

In this GoCast, I talk about teaching somebody else something about photography and issue a challenge to all listeners. I have found that teaching people makes me learn things faster and more efficiently because of the process of preparing a lesson. This week I want everyone to find someone else and prepare a lesson and teach it. This can be a lesson at your local user group or just a one-on-one with a friend. Please post your experiences in the comments.
