Beach Breeze Studios - Driving Photography

A short update about the upcoming Learning Photography podcast series we are working on! Hope you will join us and hope you enjoy it!

Just a short little update as to where things are going with DigitalPhotoHQ.com and BeachBreezeStudios.com! We have been busy over the past month and we are going to be even more busy in the upcoming months with Online Courses for Learning Photography and Setting up your own Photography Business as well as an online Pricing Calculator that will be much more than just a calc! Come Join us!

In this episode we cover a very BRIEF history of where photography started and talk a little about getting your camera! We will be covering new pieces of getting started in photography and the basics of photography in the next few episodes! Join us on the Journey of Learning Photography and the Business of Photography!

I thought I would talk a little bit about the new Nikon Yellow Program where you can try out a Nikon Z50 or Z50 Kit for 30 days!

With everything going on, it is good to think about others and what you can do to help! I hope that everyone has had a wonderful holidays! I would like for all of you to think about what you can do for others especially if you are a business owner.

When you are stuck in a rut or getting over what you are used to shooting, here are some ideas for you to try out and see what you like and maybe just maybe, have a little bit of fun once again with your photography!

There are a lot of helping hands out there when it comes to how to shoot, but how do you price what you shoot? Let's chat about this for a little bit!

Are you still a real photo editor if you don't use Photoshop? Let's chat about this for a little while!

With so many options out there now and new systems being created, what is it that you should be looking for? Can you narrow it down some rather then dealing with sooooo many different pieces? Let's chat about it!

If you have never shot with a pin hole camera or a toy camera like a holga, then you need to try to find some of the cheap plastic lenses they make for DSLRs or find an old Holga and shoot some medium format film for fun!

This is something that I haven't talked about much, but it is something that I love to do! Photo Composites! It is relaxing to edit a fantasy image from multiple photographs that you took for something else completely different!

Why you need to shoot some Black and White and get out of our comfort zone! If you shoot your images in Black and White and set them up in JPG mode so you can't edit them so much afterwards! Lock things down so you have to try to get it right in camera rather than relying on Photoshop!

What are a few tips that can help you make your photographs better? Besides shooting more and more and more? Well, that's a start! Let's chat about it!

We have dodge and burn, using preset, quick fixes using AI and Frequency Separation! What's next? I have no clue, but it will be interesting! Let's chat about it for a bit!

After a conversation with a friend not too long ago, I thought I would chat a little about his question to me!

In this episode we are talking about studio lighting and setting up a studio on a tight budget! Don't forget to check out the blog post on DigitalPhotoHQ.com!

A lot of photographers out there (including me!) are trying to get out of the full time job so they can run their photography business fulltime! This is just a quick overview of thoughts on what you have to do to get out of the rat race! Read our blog post on digitalphotohq.com to learn more about our journey and hopefully there will be more as we move toward getting out of the 9 to 5!

This is an extension of one of my previous chats about pricing your photography! I just want to know what style of pricing do you use for your business? Is it packages, or session fees? Is it a-la-carte or is it just flat fee for everything? Let me know!

This is more of a question for my listeners! What is it you would love to learn about Nature Photography? I have recieved a lot of requests from people that would love to learn nature photography, but what exactly is it that you would like to learn about nature photography?

A fireside chat about what people are charging and how they are figuring out their pricing for their photography! What you should be thinking about and being sure that you are not underestimating your bottom line. 

Just a short chat about DigitalPhotoHQ and what we are doing with it, where it is and an invite to all of yall to come join us as we grow a new platform for photography and photo editing learning and teaching!

Just chatting about lenses and what you may need when deciding on a lens and what not! Just general chat about Camera Lenses!

Just chatting about photo editing and the stigma that was going around about doing it. Just chatting as usual!

Just talking about when you need to update your gear and try to make sure you use what you have to its fullest before you spend money you don't have to on new equipment that won't help your images!

In this episode we challenge you to print 10-20 of your photos each month just to see what they come out like and if you can see something you would like to fix a little more! Also it gives you something to hold and hold on to. It also gives you something to look forward to! Give it a shot! Let us know how it goes!

Learning photography shouldn't be in a classroom for everything! There are pieces to the process that are extremely social, and we talk about this for a little bit in this episode and hope you will join us and let us know your oppinions on the matter!

It has been a little while but we are back with all new episodes after we have started to re-purpose or re-build Beach Breeze Studios! Join us once again for photography talk while driving around the city thinking about photography (As I am sure we all do!)
