New York based Robin Zachary is a Prop stylist with experience at all levels of the creative process, from prop styling, to creative direction and even photography. With over 20 years of experience in the advertising capital of the world, I knew that Robin would be the perfect person to speak with to gain insight into the world of collaborating with prop stylists.

]]> Prop Stylist Robin Zachary - Her Career From Prop Styling to Creative Direction Prop Stylist Robin Zachary - Her Career From Prop Styling to Creative Direction 00:43:56 Buzzsprout-8996520 TOGCHAT LIVE with Joe Edelman 260 full false https://www.joeedelman.com/prop-stylist Sun, 08 Aug 2021 22:00:00 +0000 Wedding Photography. So many new photographers decide to shoot weddings because they think it is a sound money making genre. So many wedding photography businesses fail quickly because said photographers had no idea how much work is actually involved in shooting a wedding and running a wedding business. It takes a special person to not only be good at wedding photography, but also to be able to make it a full-time business that supports a family of 4.

This was not the case for my guest Mr. Joseph Ellis. Along with his wife Stephanie, Joseph has shot over 800 weddings in the last 20 years after transitioning to weddings from his early career as a photojournalist. Together, the couple owns and operates Big Wall Family Photography studio in Dallas, Texas. 


Joseph shared some great advice for new wedding photographers and lots of details about how he works with wedding couples and the gear he uses.

]]> 20 Years and Over 800 Weddings Photographed With Joseph Ellis 20 Years and Over 800 Weddings Photographed With Joseph Ellis 00:51:36 Buzzsprout-8916886 TOGCHAT LIVE with Joe Edelman 259 full false https://www.joeedelman.com/joseph-ellis Sat, 24 Jul 2021 21:00:00 +0000 I had a great conversation this week with Mr. Marc Silber. Marc is a life-long photographer, best-selling author three times over, filmmaker and host of the Advancing Your Photography YouTube series.

Marc started out learning darkroom skills and the basics of photography at the legendary Peninsula School in Menlo Park, CA, in the '60s. If you are not familiar with the Peninsula School, they are renowned for their no-grade approach to education and support of student collaboration, positive risk-taking, and creativity. Marc moved on to hone his skills to professional standards at the famed San Francisco Art Institute and has since moved into teaching photography in workshops all over the country.

One of the things I admire most about Marc is his dedication to education. Not just sharing his knowledge and experience, but his own continuing education, and you will see in his books, his videos, and even in our conversation, that he has a brilliant quote from an inspirational photographer for almost any situation.

But his quotes are not just focused on iconic names like Adams and Leibovitz. He also makes it a point to learn from new photographers. When I booked Marc to be on the podcast, he shared a list of things that he has recently learned from talking to budding photographers, and I thought that would make for a great conversation and provide some excellent teaching opportunities.

Brianna is a 22-year-old California and Pacific Northwest elopement photographer who started a photography business after realizing a 9-5 job wasn't what she wanted to do with her life.


After two years of business in the traditional wedding scene, Brianna decided to take the leap and focus exclusively on elopements, or weddings with under 30 guests. 


Her passion for her work is contagious and you will learn quite a bit from this young businesswoman — regardless of the genre of photography that you specialize in.

Erich Saide is a Commercial, Fitness & Lifestyle, Celebrity and Portrait photographer specializing in producing exceptional, creative and technical images born out of his love of connecting with people. 


Forming a relationship with his subjects as soon as possible is paramount to his success, being able to draw out the best in people sets his photography apart from the rest.

Photography started as a love for experimenting with light and once he learned a thing or two through his studies, he became a master at manipulating light to compliment the wide variety of projects he has collaborated on over his 20 year career. 


Some of his favourite clients include Advertising Agencies, Celebrities, PR Agencies and TV & Movie Productions. Winner of the Communication Arts 58th Photography Annual Competition. 

If he isn't out shooting in Gastown, the area around his beautiful work/live studio loft in Vancouver, you might find him walking his dog Bella or taking advantage of the diverse city / mountainscapes that Vancouver has to offer.

Flor Blake is a portrait, editorial, and commercial photographer with a style consisting of imaginative, vibrant, and dynamic imagery.

She grew up in the Caribbean (the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico) where you are automatically surrounded by color, rawness, vivacity and "flavor", all of these elements greatly influence her work. With a Fashion Designer as a mom, Flor grew up among fabrics, patterns, and sketches, she even stitched her fingers a couple of times when playing in her mom's workroom. All of this helped shape her aesthetic and gave her a great understanding of how design and the creative process in general works.

Her professional background includes all aspects of theater, documentary coordination, video production and editing, and a degree in Advertising from the University of Puerto Rico.

 She loves traveling (even if it's across the street), eating delicious food, and celebrating people's birthdays.

 Flor is based in Denver, Colorado where she lives with her wife Ileanexis and their three plants.

Jason Page resides in Southern Florida, and he not only practices this incredible art form, but he has invented a series of tools called light painting brushes, that along with the help of some simple flashlights, allow a light painter to paint in similar ways to an artist with a brush and a canvas. Jason is widely recognized as a leader in the current light painting movement. Jason has pioneered numerous light painting techniques and with his innovation he's created groundbreaking images.


Jason's light painting work has been published internationally in print, as well as online he's exhibited his work in numerous shows and galleries, including locations like Palm Beach, Miami Amsterdam, and Moscow. 


To quote Jason; "Light painting is its own art form. Just as drawing is an art form or painting is an art form, calling light painting a photographic technique would be the same thing as calling, painting a canvas technique."

]]> Master Light Painter Jason Page and the Art Form of Light Painting Master Light Painter Jason Page and the Art Form of Light Painting 00:47:29 Buzzsprout-8347685 TOGCHAT LIVE with Joe Edelman 247 full false https://www.joeedelman.com/jason-page-light-painting Fri, 16 Apr 2021 12:00:00 +0000 Lack of preparation is one of the biggest obstacles to improving your photography, regardless of the genre that you shoot. So this week, I want to share some thoughts with you about shoot prep. 


Just like most photography skills, preparation is a skill that can be learned and with some discipline and experience this is an ability that can be improved over time, by almost anyone. 

So in this episode my goal is to help you not only understand the importance of proper prep for a shoot but to also walk you through the details that will make your shoots go smoother and help you achieve better results.

You might think that's because they have nothing to do with actually taking pictures. But I would argue that they have everything to do with taking pictures — regardless of the genre that you shoot.


Make yourself comfortable and open up your mind to some new ideas that I sincerely believe can help you improve your photography and if it is one of your goals - your business as well.

They gained global recognition with their AfroArt series of images that showcase the beauty and versatility of Afro hair. The collection was conceived as a way to empower kids of color around the world. Kahran and Reg recently authored their New York Times best-selling coffee table book, “Glory” which brings to life past, present, and future visions of black culture. With more than eleven years of working with hundreds of children, families and brands, they specialize in child and lifestyle photography while incorporating authentic visual storytelling. And I think their images are simply brilliant. 

I love their energy and I want you to be sure that you check out their images via the links below.


Their images are bold, colorful, eye catching and best of all simply done. For all the creativity that goes into their images — you never lose sight of the subject and because they are providing an incredible experience, they are able to charge top dollar for their sessions.

Robert has a long list of photographic accomplishments, and he loves sharing his knowledge, along with a few tricks honed over a 30+ year professional career.


A self-professed ‘time-traveler’, Robert has been active in the industry since 1980 receiving most of his formal training during a twenty-year career as a USAF photojournalist. A recent convert to mirrorless camera system — Fujifilm X Series — he encourages others to embrace new technologies to achieve their photographic goals. Just spend a few minutes with Robert to gain insight into the passion that drives him to share the joy of crafting fabulous images.


Robert is the co-host of the FotoFacts Podcast, a casual iTunes audio show highlighting photo education and industry influencers.


Robert happily shares life’s beautiful “Instagram's” with the inspirations in his life — a fabulously talented photographer wife Terri & amazing daughters Amy, Amber, Georgia and Shannon.

This creative duo uses their architectural backgrounds to tell stories through fun and surprising images that are far from conventional architecture photography. Their style is characterized by their visual sense of humor, creativity, precision, and a delicate aesthetic inspired by the city, geometry, and minimalism. Their images succeed in establishing magnetic and joyful narratives that smartly suggest both the nature of human relations and the fascination with the urban environment.

In this episode, I am going to share the science behind why photo critiques don’t work and I will teach you how to effectively ask for feedback on your work and how to properly give feedback that is useful and has a positive impact on the photographer.

Ansel Adams  is famously quoted as saying: “There are no rules for good photographs, only good photographs.” —Ansel Adams

Or from another iconic master of photography — Mr. Edward Weston: “Rules of composition are deduced from the work of strong masters and used by weak imitators to produce… nothing.” 

I sincerely believe that rules are CREATIVITY KILLERS.  Actually science confirms that rules are creativity killers.  The simple explanation is that once you are aware of the rules or worse yet, understand the rules — you are essentially in the box.  Everything that you do in an attempt to be creative and think outside the box to be original will be hampered by your knowledge of the rules.  I mean it is easier to think outside the box — when you don't know where the box is.

Irene is a self-taught fashion and lifestyle photographer located in Calgary, Canada.

About Irene in her own words:

My name is Irene Rudnyk, and I am a self-taught fashion and lifestyle photographer located in Calgary. I like to describe my style as romantic and artistic, I love to play around with light, softness, colors and textures. I definitely enjoy photographing people the most. I strive to make my models stand out in an image, making sure the background never overpowers the focal point of the picture.

Since I was a little girl I was drawn to photography and videography. My sister and I used to pretend that she was a model, and I was a photographer, we would dress up, do our make-up, and plan the poses and locations for photo shoots. When I was quite young and could afford it, I bought my first professional camera and instantly knew that photography was my passion. I started my journey as a fashion photographer, working mostly with agencies in Calgary, like Numa Models, Mode models and Imodels.

I have experimented with different styles and techniques and now as a developed photographer, I provide professional services like wedding photography, engagement, family, maternity, boudoir, model portfolio, and event coverage. I’ve also spent several years modeling, which has given me the valuable knowledge to both sides of the camera. If desired, I will be glad to help with posing ideas and angles to give you the best looking, unique images.

I am very friendly and sociable, I try to make my clients feel comfortable and have a lot of fun at the shoot. I am truly fortunate to do what I do. I get to be part of a person’s special day or celebration, get to know their family and most of all, capture those precious moments for them! That’s what it’s all about to me, capturing the emotion, character, and surreal beauty in people that will last a lifetime.

Eli Infante is a Westcott Top Pro and native-born resident of the Rio Grande Valley who draws most of his inspiration for photography from unique South Texas landscapes and historical structures.

On top of being an educator for over a decade, Eli shares his skills and talents with all other eager photographers via YouTube and even in person workshops. You may be asking yourself, “Where does he get the energy to do all this stuff?”. Well, for Eli, any time spent being able to teach and learn new skills as a photographer is not only his vocation but his ultimate recreation.

Eli is paving his way through the Rio Grande Valley with his style of high-speed sync outdoor portraits and plans to broaden his talents with more fine art studio portraits.

One of the questions that I hear frequently from photographers is: “Where do you come up with your ideas?” That question is usually followed by one of these statements: “I’m just not that creative.” or “I guess I’m not creative.” or my personal favorite, “I just don’t know how to find new ideas”.

If you are a photographer who thinks like this, I have some bad news for you. If you think you aren’t creative — you aren’t creative. There, I said it. And I mean it.

A trend where photographers lament that they are struggling to improve their work or make more money, yet for every struggle and problem that they face, they have excuses, often multiple excuses for why they can’t overcome the problem. And THAT is a big problem.

The more I considered this trend, I realized that it’s not really a trend. It’s not a trend because it is a problem that photographers have faced for decades, probably for as long as there have been photographers. Every great photographer has faced this problem and will probably face it again. And that is why I wanted to discuss it with you and try to offer some solutions. Notice I didn’t say easy solutions. They will require work.

]]> STOP making excuses to improve your photography STOP making excuses to improve your photography 01:07:32 dfa706b4-e9fa-41b6-91d7-0eea76f98610 TOGCHAT with Joe Edelman 225 full false https://pod.co/togchat-photography-podcast/stop-making-excuses-to-improve-your-photography Wed, 11 Nov 2020 22:55:54 +0000 I frequently hear photographers lamenting that they just can’t find models or that they don’t know how to find models and I receive messages with those questions several times each week.  After I wrote the title, How to find the best models, I realized that the bigger problem is that many photographers don’t actually understand what makes a great model.  So here we are.

Before I dig in, please listen closely to what I am about to say — I am going to share my experience, which began working with agency models that my clients hired and then evolved to working with the models to craft their portfolios so that they could get signed by agencies and hired by clients and then evolved to today where I work with models mostly on creative projects.  I started working with models in 1984.  I have worked with the best and the worst.

I am also going to share some things with you that will not be politically correct in today’s social climate.  Please listen closely to those statements.  They are not my opinions, they are observations.  As you will hear me say — don’t take my word for it — look around you — do some of your own research.  Sometimes reality is not ideal, but I assure you that I am a person with a liberal and progressive mindset and my only agenda here is to help you.

With that being said — let’s talk about what makes a great model.  I think it will make the discussion easier if we create three categories to begin with — Agency Models, Freelance Models and Acquaintances.  Just like photographers, there are many types of models.

It is an aphorism. Aphorisms, like clichés are those pithy, often overused observations that contain a general truth, like, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” I mean, it makes sense right? Set the expectations low and over deliver on those expectations and your clients will think you are a superstar.

The more I thought about this concept, the more I began to realize its shortcomings. So I did a little research and sure enough, there is a lot of research both psychological and also business and marketing research that shows that while this is a well intended concept — it is ultimately a poor practice that can harm your business.

And this trick is not just for beginners. In fact, there are times that I still use this trick even after more than 40 years of working with lighting. I call it the five-foot rule, actually, I hate rules, so let’s go with the five-foot guide.

You will hear me break down the step-by-step of this elegant portrait lighting arrangement and how easy it is to set up and work with.

Remember hat photographing people is 80 percent psychology and 20 percent photography, so you need to simplify the photography stuff as much as possible.

]]> How to Improve Your Portrait Lighting With a Circle and Some String How to Improve Your Portrait Lighting With a Circle and Some String 01:03:42 ab16b05e-f85f-48d4-a3bd-3a64e7e8d5d4 TOGCHAT with Joe Edelman 221 full false https://pod.co/togchat-photography-podcast/how-to-improve-your-portrait-lighting-with-a-circle-and-some-string Wed, 14 Oct 2020 23:23:28 +0000 Photographers tend to do the shoot, find a few images they like, celebrate, and then file the images away and move on. They rarely take the time to consider the failures. To ask why they don’t like that image? They don’t consider how they could have improved it?

A normal workflow for most photographers, myself included, is to shoot images and then return home and download them to the computer. Then we eagerly cull through the shoot to find the best image or images. Then we process them and either deliver them and post them to social media. When we are done with this, we file the images away, sometimes never to be viewed again. That is a missed opportunity to improve your photography.

The THREE MOST Important things you can do to improve your photography in 2020

Traditionally, this is the time of year where people make New Year's Resolutions… and of course post them for the world to see on Facebook and Instagram as if the world will actually hold you accountable for these self made promises that you will inevitably break within the first 30 days of the new year.

Look, I am not a pessimist - I'm just keeping it real. Researchers have found that about 60 percent of us make New Year's resolutions but only about 8 percent are successful in achieving them. In other words, statistically, the time and effort put into a New Year's resolution is a waste of time.

That being said, I have decided to take a different approach and give you just three things that can have the biggest impact on your photography.

This week, join me for an interview with lighting master and Interfit Creative Pro photographer John Cornicello from Seattle, Washington.

John Cornicello has been involved in the photo industry since starting out as a photo assistant in New York City in 1979. In the early 1980s he had a still life advertising studio where he worked with cameras from 35mm up to 11x14 and with a large variety of lighting systems from Hollywood-style hot lights, to strobes, and now almost entirely digital with LED technology under his tool belt.

Now based in Seattle, John is a home studio based portrait and headshot photographer. He is a regular fixture on CreativeLIVE, both as an instructor and as the lighting technician for other instructors. His passion is around teaching photographic concepts from basic camera functions to lighting theory and practice. For the past three years John has embarked on a personal portrait series called the Chair Project photographing people from all walks of life in an old chair purchased at a garage sale and now with a new "Egg Chair."

John is also the author of an e-book, Anatomy of a Studio Portrait, which is available on Amazon. https://amzn.to/2s3LFu8 (#commissionearned)
