The Photography Bar Podcast

Targets and Goals with Jeff Brown, Alcohol Free Beer & Breastfeeding!

Welcome back in to the bar and this week we really do chat various topics including breastfeeding.....yes it is a photography story!

However the priority topic this week is setting goals and targets and expert photography mentor Jeff Brown who runs the Awesome Photographers Group returns again with some valuable advice for every photographer  running his or her own business. 

The advice given is all really obvious, but as we always say, it's only obvious when someone actually tells you! We do, as usual, go off on a bit of a tangent.

How Accurate Is Your Editing?

Kam and mark are 'up North' this week in Rotherham recording in a Beefeater whilst on a 3 day shoot, you may notice Kam still has a Covid cough but he's pretty much back to normal now.

We talk about a number of things this week with the main topic being editing and in particular do we really know what we are doing when editing.

There's a big difference between experimental and something actually being right, particularly as we all see things differently. So how much attention do you really pay to accuracy, particularly when it comes to skin tones?
