  • A wonderful example

    I just listened to the first episode of Picturing World Cultures, an interview with indigenous photographer Wayne Quilliam. What an excellent example of how to be respectful in any culture, and how to approach capturing a depth of story and not just “pretty pictures”. Thank you!

  • Check out the picturing world cultures episodes for sure.

    The picturing world cultures episodes are great! Keep it up! Gear reviews and information are helpful from time to time, but the interviews with famous and respected photographers, and the practical knowledge contained in the picturing world cultures episodes are the best!! Highly recommend!

  • This is The Best Photography Podcast

    If you are interested in the people and philosophy of the greats, this is the place to be. No Nikon vs Cannon vs Sony clickbait here. Allen and Jill do a great job bringing recent news, delving deep into historical greats and interviewing the people who made (and make) an impact. Want to hear how the CMOS chip was invented from the guy that invented it? The story of Lee Miller, the first female combat photographer, as told by her son? Jill’s new series “Picturing World Cultures” is outstanding... more

  • Two thumbs way up 10 stars

    If your serious about photography this is the podcast you want to listen to. Well produced entertaining and relevant. Allen and John are professional and these are just great interviews. I always enjoy talking gear... but seek out “Conversations from Eddie Adams workshop “, “Lost rolls America”, “Black white and Blue underwater photography “, “Jay Maisel” I could go on and on that will get you started....Paul

    I would like to hear and interview with Abelardo Morell

Encore: The Art of the SNL Portrait, with Mary Ellen Matthews
Q: Can you share a memorable behind-the-scenes moment that illustrates the work culture on SNL shoots?
One standout moment was the Sarah Silverman marquee idea that required quick approvals and bold risk-taking, followed by a seamless execution with the prop and hair/makeup teams.
Encore: The Art of the SNL Portrait, with Mary Ellen Matthews
Q: How collaborative are your shoots with guests who are repeat offenders versus new guests?
Repeat guests often come with a built-in understanding and ideas, but I still engage their teams and preferences to tailor each concept while preserving the show's essence.

Q: How did the move to digital affect your workflow and timelines?
Digital transformed scheduling and review, allowing faster feedback and broader experimentation, while still maintaining the need for careful planning and collaboration across teams.
Encore: The Art of the SNL Portrait, with Mary Ellen Matthews
Q: What was the transition like from working under Edie Baskin to taking over as principal photographer?
It involved learning from a mentor while building my own voice, managing the pressure of stepping into a role with a strong legacy, and developing a working relationship with the talent to balance respect with creative direction.
Unit Set Photography: Myles Aronowitz & Cara Howe
Q: What is the workflow for post-production and how quickly are images delivered?
Photographers download and organize their images after shoots, then upload to studio servers. Most raw images are delivered, with JPEGs sometimes created for quick viewing. Turnaround is typically 24-48 hours, though streaming or high-demand productions may require faster turnaround for social media teasers.
