Photography, Digital Art & Inspiration: Gary McIntyre Talks Shop

, , ,

Gary McIntyre, photographer and digital artist, joined me for a live broadcast, and this is the recording of our chat. We talked about how he creates such compelling composite images and how he goes about capturing his stunning landscape photographs. Gary very much believes in sharing knowledge, because as he puts it, ultimately it helps us all, and that's very much the spirit in which he talks through his work and the way he approaches it.

📷 PHOTOGRAPHERS - A.I. Moodboards WILL TRANSFORM your Photography 💥

,

Creating a moodboard with AI before a photo shoot can make a big difference, both to the final image and to the person you're photographing. In this video I show how I put one together using Adobe's Firefly AI, although other AI tools will do the job too. Having that moodboard to share means the person in front of the camera can see what you have in mind, and it gets them just as excited about the process as you are.

The Photographer’s Guide to Lifelong Learning and Creative Growth | Marco Ter Beek

, ,

In this live broadcast recording I chat with professional photographer Marco Ter Beek about lifelong learning and creative growth. We discussed why it's so important to keep being a student if you want to grow, how that helps you find inspiration and stay creative, and how it ultimately leads to creating work you can be proud of. It's a conversation about the mindset behind the photographs as much as the photographs themselves.
