WM-533: Should You Stick to One Genre or Should You Diversify? | Photography Clips Podcast

Photography Clips

What is the real path to artistic success? Some people say it is nothing more than practice. Not just practice in general, but practice in one single area of photography, always working on that one slice of the craft. I see it differently. I think success grows out of diversity. Different styles, different techniques, and even different genres. Even the genres that might not be your favorites. Let me walk you through why I think this matters...

WM-532: A Photographer’s Frustrations | Photography Clips Podcast

Photography Clips

When you’ve been a photographer for as long as I have, you start to realize that not only does this art give you joy, but it also comes with its own share of frustrations. It seems strange at times to be so frustrated with something that you enjoy so much, but it definitely isn’t an uncommon feeling. Let me share some of my frustrations so that you can see that you aren’t alone!.. Podcast Notes: Photography Clips Podcast: Follow me: #PhotographyClips #WillMoneymaker #Photography

WM-531: Artspeak vs. Meaningful Conversation | Photography Clips Podcast

Photography Clips

What is "artspeak," precisely? It's a kind of blanket term, one you've probably seen used to refer to other activities, the type of term where the prefix is interchangeable. You'll sometimes hear the terms "computer-speak" or "techspeak." In a nutshell, these terms mean that people involved in the conversation are using language - technical terms and jargon - related to the field or area that the conversation is about. "Artspeak" refers to the types of conversations in which people talk about their education, their achievements, technical items like cameras, and the mechanical operation of...

WM-530: Photography is Potential | Photography Clips Podcast

Photography Clips

We’ve long made the assumption that photography is, in itself, an art. And in a general sense, that is true, the same way that painting is an art or that writing is an art. But I think we need a bit more specificity about precisely what the art of photography is. Surveys from 2014 showed that 1.8 billion photographs were uploaded online each day. Now imagine how many photos are taken every day, most of which will never be uploaded. Are all of these images art? Of course not —just as not every written word is considered art, either. Even within my own collection of images, the external hard...

WM-529: The Gear We Bring—and Never Use | Photography Clips Podcast

Photography Clips

A reflection on preparation, perception, and what really matters when the shutter clicks. There’s a familiar ritual before every photography trip. The suitcase waits open, half filled with clothes and cables, but the real challenge sits beside it—the camera gear. I start stacking lenses, checking chargers, counting batteries, and convincing myself that this time I’ll finally pack smart. Then the second-guessing begins. Will I need the long lens? Maybe. What if I see wildlife? Better take it. The macro? Could come in handy. The tripod? Probably too heavy, but what if the light calls for...

WM-528: Pantone's Color of the Year | Photography Clips Podcast

Photography Clips

Every once in a while, I come across a story that reminds me how connected all the creative fields really are — photography, design, printing, art. They all share one foundation: color. That’s what drew me to Pantone’s story. It’s not just a company that makes color charts. It’s the reason we can all talk about color in the same language. Pantone began as a small printing business in New Jersey in the 1950s. Back then, the world of printing and design had a major problem: color consistency. What one printer called red might come out as pink or orange somewhere else. There was no...

WM-527: Capturing the Moment: The Thought Process Behind Every Photograph | Photography Clips Podcast

Photography Clips

Capturing a photograph is much more than just pressing a camera's shutter button. It’s an intricate dance of thoughts, emotions, and technical considerations that come together to capture a moment in time. When I prepare to take a photograph, I go through a detailed mental checklist, each step bringing me closer to the perfect shot. Here’s an in-depth look at what goes through my mind before taking a photograph. Every photograph starts with a story. I think about what I want to convey through the image. Is it the serenity of a sunset, the bustling energy of a city street, or the quiet...

WM-526: Photography vs. Photographs: Where Does Your Passion Lie? | Photography Clips Podcast

Photography Clips

Ever found yourself wondering, “Do I love photography or do I love photographs?” It might seem like a subtle distinction, but there’s a significant difference between the two. Photography is the process – the act of capturing moments, exploring locations, and crafting images. Photographs, on the other hand, are the final product – the tangible results that we share and connect over. Understanding where your true passion lies can help you clarify your focus and how you approach your activities in this art form... Podcast Notes: Photography Clips Podcast: Follow me: ...

WM-525: The Power of Photographic Metaphor: Reflections, Pathways, and Doors

Photography Clips

Have you ever looked at a photograph and felt a surge of memories or emotions, as if the image before you opened a door to another time or place? This is one of the most magical aspects of photography – its ability to act as a metaphor, connecting us to deeper meanings and experiences beyond the frame. When we look at a photograph, it’s not just a snapshot of a moment. It becomes a mirror, reflecting our own stories and memories. This metaphorical power is what elevates photography from mere documentation to an art form... Podcast Notes: Photography Clips Podcast: Follow me: ...

WM-524: The Importance of Always Carrying Your Camera: Seizing Every Photographic Opportunity

Photography Clips

Cameras are truly marvelous devices, capable of capturing moments and turning them into lasting memories. They can freeze time, tell stories, and evoke powerful emotions. But here’s the catch – a camera can only do these incredible things if you have it with you when the perfect photographic opportunity arises. Mark Twain once said, “The person who does not read has no advantage over the one who cannot read.” The same goes for photography: if you leave your camera at home, you’re no better off than someone who doesn’t own one.
