Stop Chasing THESE TYPES of Clients
Beyond the Image Podcast
Photographers - there are two types of clients we need to STOP chasing. Clients who don't have money. Clients who don't want to spend money. Instead - let's focus on how we find clients who do have the purchasing power and purchasing assets to support our creative endeavors. https://jamespatrick.com/

Should Photographers Niche?
Beyond the Image Podcast
In today's episode we answer the question "should photographers niche?" YUP! Yup they absolutely should! In this episode of Beyond the Image, host James Patrick dives into why photographers should carve out their specialty and unique selling proposition as well as unpacking the biggest fear they have when it comes to niching down. If I niche down, then I won't get hired for other work again! The reality is - that simply is not true! https://jamespatrick.com/

Should Photographers Also Do Video?
Beyond the Image Podcast
In this episode we answer the question; should photographers also provide video services to clients? Overwhelmingly yes! Without question. Either they need to learn how to construct and deliver video files - or it is important for them to form a partnership with a videographer to offer their services to clients. Client demand for video assets has only been increasing exponentially. In order for a creative professional to stay competitive - they have to find ways to meet client demands and expectations in today's marketplace. https://jamespatrick.com/

I Got Hired With ZERO Experience
Beyond the Image Podcast
I've been hired to do a handful of gigs over the last three decades with zero experience. Everything from selling wedding rings to modeling for an off campus student housing complex. But what is even more intense is the fact that I built a photography career over 20 decades having no prior experience. That I built a podcast from the ground up never having spoken into a microphone before. That I created not one, but two, best selling books having never published a book prior. This is not to say that mistakes were not made or that I did not often fail (I did, a lot). But I never allowed a lack...

Independent Publishers Taking a Dump
Beyond the Image Podcast
As traditional print media scrambles to find firm ground despite crumbling atrophy - the thing I was still so excited about and hopeful for as a creative was the rapid emergence of unique, fresh, bold and innovative independent publishers. Sure, independent publishers have smaller budgets (if any) and the audiences are certainly a bit more finite. But also, there is far less overhead, the audiences are hyper focused and there is more bandwidth for creative exploration. Unfortunately… the same greed, which has been eradicating traditional publishers is now infecting...

Photoshop Controversies
Beyond the Image Podcast
In more than 20 years as a photographer, I've had a few photoshop controversies. There have been times my work was accused of being over-edited (it wasn't) and there were times I even got fired because I refused to edit work beyond what I was comfortable with. The reality is that it has become increasingly difficult to distinguish between what is real and what is art. The abundance of photo editing apps, filters and AI-enhanced manipulations has only added to the confusion of authenticity. The result is to simply label everything as fake, inauthentic and misleading. But let's unpack the nuance...

Learning to Use Gels in Photography
Beyond the Image Podcast
I honestly thought that just by owning a pack of color gels that my photography career would immediately be transformed and I would instantly be more creative, professional and respected. Spoiler alert - all I learned at first was that I didn't know squat about how to use gels effectively. In this episode I talk about the steps I personally took to actually learn how to use gels from lighting backgrounds to creating atmosphere to accenting a subject to actually working as the key light and beyond. Next week I am going to be hosting a live workshop at The Hive Studios showing you how to...

When the Client Sucks… and When They're Actually Right
Beyond the Image Podcast
As a creative, dealing with difficult clients is inevitable. From unrealistic Photoshop demands to impossible shoot conditions, I've seen it all. But sometimes, the problem isn't the client—it’s us. In this episode, I dive into real-life client horror stories, unpack when the client truly does suck, and discuss the critical times when they have every right to be frustrated. Whether you're a creative professional or a business owner hiring creatives, this episode will change the way you handle client conflicts—on both sides of the transaction. Tune in to learn how to navigate tough client...
