Advertising & Fine Art Photographer – Randal Ford Ep51

Randal Ford talks about what the job of an advertising photographer really looks like in probably the best description I’ve heard. What it looked like 10 years ago when he did a job compared to what it looks like now. How he got into the fine art world by photographing some cows and happens when you bring your kid to work while shooting an elephant. Be sure to check out his new book The Animal Kingdom available for order on Amazon. Check out more of his work at www.randalford.com

 

Below are some of the images we talked about creating in our chat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Portrait & Celebrity Photographer – Art Streiber Ep 38

Art Streiber doesn’t want to be described as a celebrity photographer. He’d prefer portrait photographer or problem solver, maybe visual fixer. Really though Art is all those things. He is also a very open book about how he goes about solving those visual problems and making portraits of celebrities. And being open in the world of high end photography is not a normal thing. Many photographers act as though they are guarding magical secrets given to them by the gods that they are scared every up and comer is going to steal. Streiber on the other hand gives talks on how he does everything from shoot planning to running his business and then for good measure has an Instagram feed showing how he lit everything. His openness and willing to share was personally inspiring to me as are the long long list of portraits he’s done that you’ve seen on scores of magazine covers.
