EP 50 - Jim Pollard on weddings with helicopters, creating your style and how home printing changes everything

Episode 50: Woohoo! We hit our first milestone, 50 episodes and boy is episode 50 epic! Ross & James chat with Jim Pollard, one half of the super talented husband and wife team “Pollard We Are”.

Originally from the UK but after traveling the world Jim and his family settled in the beautiful New Zealand where he discovered his love for wedding photography. Although Jim and his wife Vicky are hugely successful destination wedding photographers, they are most well known around the world for jumping in helicopters and flying to the tops of mountains in NZ to create master pieces of art during a wedding day! We discuss how he does this and the hurdles he faces to capture these incredible photographs.

We also chat about the equipment they use when undertaking such a huge amount of travelling during a wedding day, his Instagram followers, Jim’s thoughts on wedding albums, his printing with his Canon Pro-222 and how he prefers to offer a single shot beautifully printed than an album. We also managed to squeeze in a quick discussion on editing and how he became associated with Dvlop preset

JAMES ENTERS THE WORLD OF PRINTING, ROSS GETS STUCK IN A FRENCH AIRPORT AGAIN & WHERE DO WE GET OUR BUSINESS FROM?

What where the biggest mistakes you made when starting out in wedding photography.
When you are editing weddings, what are the main themes that come up that you need to adjust? Are you brightening faces? Getting rid of sh*t in the background? Etc
Where are you getting most of your business? Most of mine are through wedding fairs
I know you stay late, how do you deal with the drunken idiots at that time
Would you like the Facebook group to be more active?
Bright windows during ceremony and speeches, Vogs prefer a darker constant background as we don’t do lights (well, we shouldn’t be, takes the discreet element away) photographers can light subject with a flash.
I always ask the couple but, What’s your thoughts?

How do price your wedding photography

Welcome to episode 25. That topic that is not often discussed, how to price your wedding photography.

Pricing! It’s a very controversial topic and I feel this episode may be the first of many we discuss on the topic. We have no issues talking about how much we charge for wedding photography and we break the price down so it might help you price your photography. Many wedding photographers feel that the “value” of photography is dropping in the UK but are we thinking as business people or artists? If you are part time photographer, does that mean you should be charging less. Should there be an industry standard price?

Don’t undervalue yourself or the industry. Work out the basic price and then add what you feel you deserve for all the hard work and risk.

The business of wedding photography with Adam Mason

Episode 20! I can’t believe that we have reached 20 episodes. This episode we chat with Washington DC photographer Adam Mason. Adam also hosts the Bearded Tog podcast where he discusses everything from pricing, social media, marketing and so much more. Adam is also often joined by great guests such as: Jasmine Star, Two Mann Studios, Nathan Holritz, Robert J Hill and so many more.

We get to know more about Adam but also talk about his mentoring, advising other photographers in the world of photography and we touch base on his plans for US wedding domination as he starts his associate photography program.

We also cover a couple of questions from our Facebook group:

Typically, wedding photographers are minimalists during the day. Do you still have most of your gear with you, but just in your car? Aside from Body & Lenses, what have you found to be must carries.
When do you set up any extra gear such as flashes? What occasions to you need ‘extra gear’ for?
How often do you upgrade gear? Only as needed as soon as a newer model comes out?

Wedding "Special" with Steven Van Elk & Dustin McKibben of the Wedding Photo Hangover

Welcome to episode 19 - Wedding photography special. Ross and I teamed up with Steven & Dustin from the Wedding photo hangover podcast. There is a BIG WARNING with this episode. There is a little bit swearing, alcohol and just all round silliness.

We talk with them about wedding photography, sports photography, and landscape photography in this episode.

Q&A:
Is it okay to shark a client out from underneath another photographer?
Have you ever forgotten the names of the bride and groom?
How can you fix the sun's reflection in the water so it doesn't look wavy?
How do you find a cool location for a selfie with sun and light and water and mountain?
I wake with the rooster to do sunset shots but the sun is not setting. I wake with the owl to do sunrise shots but the sun is not rising. What am I? (I'm sorry I had to include this to relieve myself of the burden of being the only person to see this awful thing).

Getting in to the wedding industry & traveling with equipment

Welcome to episode 16. Ross is away living it up on a skiing holiday in Italy, when I say, holiday, I mean “working”. So you have me, James keeping you company. In this episode I have two questions from listeners on our Facebook group: How do I travel with all my gear & my first ever wedding and any tips for getting in to the industry.

I’m not sure you are going to like my answer for the second questions but I will be honest with you, you had better be prepared to work your ass off and fail (remember, failing is how we improve).

I also chat about my recent going on's and plans for the podcast.
