Why would they pay you?

We've got fanmail! With suggestions - a couple intentionally outrageous statements we're reacting to.When I've read them, I've expected that as often, we're going to be alligned, but turns out there still is some wiggle room even when it comes to controversy topics :)Let us know how you feel about this format and if you have ideas or questions of your own, please leave them in comments, or contact me on telegram @FurCPhoto.

Where do we draw inspiration? How do we choose our locations and themes? How much planning and intuition was involved? We've found out and so can you :)

We're back after a summer pause. It was a busy time and among other things we both went to Eurofurence (and Awoostria) to photograph and enjoy the con.How it went? What happened? Find out in a new episode.

We went for rather more relaxed chat today. It started with my frustration over unsuccessful post and went all the way over social networks to end up in galleries.Let us know in comments if you enjoy this format, or would like to listen about any specific topic next time :)

If you're planning to offer your photo services, especially on a crowded con where everyone has a phone and every third fur has a camera, it is the question, isn't it? Why would someone pay you for pictures he can get elsewhere for free?I've invited my returning customer and amazing fursuiter Aphinion to ask him exactly this question. What makes him comission a photographer? What counts as "good photo" for him? And what he hates during a photoshoot?Listen and find out. Have you comissioned a photographer yourself? How did it go? Are you planing to? How do you feel about it? What would help you choose? Share with us in comments!Also here's a picture from the photoshoot we mention in the podcast: https://www.patreon.com/posts/123867158

I've tried to sell the idea of photographic lights to Pinsel, who's not too keen on using them. What is external light good for and when it makes no sense? How to start when you have no experience with lighting? And can you replace it with higher ISO? Learn about it in today's episode.Also here's a picture link I've promised (don't worry, it's unlocked): https://www.patreon.com/posts/55974818

Chatter about gear, lens, camera bodies and lighting equipment. With slightly different photographic style, Pinsel and I are having different idea of what's important. And we actually remember we wanted to talk about how to choose a camera by the end :)

Yeah, we also have an opinion regarding recent furry drama. Turns out we actually have two different opinions.What is a photoshoot worth? How much is too much? Should your friends pay the same as other customers? When does a hobby become commerce?We're discussing that and a lot more today.

We've both attended NFC, we've both offered photoshoots, we're both haunted by similar worries and issues that are probably shared by a lot of other photographers. The previous episode got massively delayed because there was a ton of work, mostly on editing con photoshoots, so here's what it was like there at least!

Sorry about the long delay - NFC happened and then a lot of work happened so this episode ended up laying on my drive for ungodly long time. The "current drama with edited photo" is rather less current now, but no less relevant :)This episode is about editing. Why, how much and how to do it the right way. And as always, after you listen to it, you'll be none the wiser, because we're always happy to say "yes, but actually no". At least we've honestly disagreed with each other this time ;)
