WM-506: There Can Be No Formula | Photography Clips Podcast

Photography Clips

This thought of mine is kind of a complex one, but as we go along, you’ll start to see what I mean. The first thing I want to express is that we are all human. As humans, innovation is a kind of our thing—it’s what we do. We’ve been innovating since the beginning, and that desire for innovation is responsible for almost every aspect of human life today—including the invention of cameras and all the rest of the photographic equipment that we use. My point here with this discussion of innovation? Well, one of the ways in which we do it is by boiling things down to a formula. That’s...

WM-505: Stick With It | Photography Clips Podcast

Photography Clips

What do you do when you don’t know what else to do? Well, that depends. The first thing to do, in my opinion, is to figure out why you don’t know what to do. You see, in my last post, I discussed the value of taking a break from photography—and that’s because we all become exhausted or burned out. At other times, there are different reasons why we don’t know what to do—and it is essential that we take these moments, pick up the camera, and go with the flow. Photograph whatever catches your eye. It’s a meaningful way to approach the act of creation, I think... Podcast Notes:...

Photography Clips

As the old saying goes, “You get what you pay for.” I find that nowhere is this more true than in photography. It’s not just the gear that you are paying for. In photography, you are also paying for art with your time, creativity, and effort. And, if you don’t pay out much with those currencies, well, then this saying rings true. Here, I will discuss all the ways that you get out what you put in when it comes to photography. Podcast Notes: Photography Clips Podcast: Follow me: #PhotographyClips #WillMoneymaker #Photography

WM-500: Understanding Permission in Photography | Photography Clips Podcast

Photography Clips

You know, something I’ve learned over the years—something that becomes clearer the more time I spend with a camera in hand—is that photography is just as much about relationships as it is about light, shadow, and subject matter. Not just relationships with the people in front of the lens, but with the communities we enter, the land we stand on, and the cultures we interact with. And one word that keeps coming up, quietly but persistently, is permission... Podcast Notes: Photography Clips Podcast: Follow me: #PhotographyClips #WillMoneymaker #Photography

WM-498: Scouting Great New Locations for Photography | Photography Clips Podcast

Photography Clips

A large portion of my time is devoted not just to photography itself, but to something just as important: finding new places to create it. Scouting, for me, is part of the adventure. It's a little like being on a treasure hunt with your camera bag in the passenger seat and curiosity behind the wheel. And over the years, I’ve discovered a few ways to make that hunt easier, more enjoyable, and a whole lot more rewarding. Back when I first got serious about photography, I used to just hop in the car and drive with no particular plan. Sometimes, that spontaneous approach works. But more often...

WM-497: Motivational Tricks to Increase Your Productivity | Photography Clips Podcast

Photography Clips

You know, one of the hardest things about being a creative person—whether you’re into photography or painting or writing—is motivation. Just getting started. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had every excuse in the book. I’m not feeling inspired. I don’t have the right gear. There’s no time. The light’s wrong. You name it. But if I’m being honest, those are just that—excuses. Life’s busy, sure, and things pop up. But most of the time, it’s not that something is actively standing in the way. It’s just that the motivation isn’t there. So let’s talk about how...
