  • Get rid of the fake AI mid-roll!

    Love the podcast, but really hate the jarring, fake voice in the mid-roll ad for the magazine. And if it’s not a fake AI voice, then PLEASE find someone to re-record the mid-roll ad.

    Always great interviews with interesting photographers. Good to understand their processes even if you haven’t necessarily heard of them yet.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Cole Thompson
Q: Can you talk about photographic celibacy and why you pursued it?
Celibacy helps me avoid external influence and stay true to my own vision, ensuring that each project is original and honest rather than derivative of others' work.
Cole Thompson
Q: What role does pre-visualization play in your work when you arrive at a location?
I don't storyboard locations beforehand; I let the scene speak to me, then I picture the final image in my mind and shoot with that roadmap, adjusting on the fly as needed.
Cole Thompson
Q: How would you define vision beyond just style or subject matter?
Vision is an internal, life-shaping way of seeing that remains true to the photographer's own experiences and voice, rather than a contrived or copied look. It's a personal, evolving understanding of how to see subjects that resonates with the creator's life story.
D'Ann Boal
Q: Can you share a story where lighting decisions significantly impacted the final image?
There was a senior-family shoot where I used backlight to separate subjects from a snowy background, with a subtle warm backlight on hair and a controlled rim light to add glow, resulting in an image that balanced warmth and drama.
D'Ann Boal
Q: How do you begin planning a shoot with lighting as the starting point?
I use a questionnaire to understand the client, location, and vibe, and I design the lighting plan first. Then I guide the rest of the shoot around that lighting concept to ensure the mood and storytelling are consistent with the vision.
