Okay, after about a 10 day July 4th vacation, we are back. In this weeks podcast Keith and I discuss the benefits of collaborating with other photographers, as well as getting involved with as many projects as you can – paid or not. As photographers we often spend lots of time shooting sunsets, landscapes, time lapses – often without a purpose other than to improve. Instead, why not offer your services for free to a local event and then use this creative freedom to create something great for them. It will help to circulate your name among their peers and ultimately will get you work.
Keith and I have learned a lot from each other in the year that we have been shooting together. Anytime I shoot with other photographers I learn a lot about gear, techniques as well as what they seem to be doing that is either working for them or not.

Ron’s Recap
I hope everyone had a great July 4th holiday. The weather here in the Northeast has been very hot and humid, though definitely in need for some rain. Since Keith and I have been shooting together on and off over the past year we thought we should do a podcast on how working together (and separately) helps to push us further along in our craft.
We also cover the importance of putting yourself out there in order to get known for what it is you do. Instead of heading out to shoot a sunset or timelapse, why not instead head out to a local festival or event and capture it for them at no charge. This will give you the freedom to be creative, while at the same time putting your work in front of others in the community that ultimately will be the ones that recommend and hire you. |

Shallow Depth-of-field is one of the main reasons why cinematographers and videographers are flocking to the new breed of video-capable DSLR’s. Their large image sensors along with the use of 35mm lenses allow these camera’s to produce a very shallow depth-of-field, which not only allows the DP to control where the viewer should look
