New Host on this week’s Podcast: Laryssa Gobets

Questions of the Week:
Zach Campbell: I am shooting a prom this weekend and am wondering about how you guys would recommend keeping all the shots in order with the people who order them.
Sungki Li: Jim said not to use long exposure noise reduction as it speeds up your shooting at night. Why wouldn’t you want to reduce the noise in pictures using this technology?
Zach Campbell: I have a yongnuo IV flash. Is it normal for the batteries to get so hot you can’t hold them? I was shooting some senior photos yesterday and the flash and batteries got so hot I couldn’t touch them.

  • I want to be there for you when you are having a hard time finding clients and need a little shot of confidence, or when you have gone 6 weeks without getting out and shooting because your town doesn’t have any great locations, or when you have a trip coming up and need a hand finding good locations.
  • The dial on the wheel of discouragement is bound to land on you every once in awhile.  Every photography gets frustrated with their progress and gets in a slump.  It’s going to be my job as a mentor to fix that for you.
