Hey hey! Today we chat about a pretty dumb Lightroom glitch where the image doesn't skip when you want it to - and through our own testing we might've found a workaround! Tom also gets hustled by a Facebook Marketplace user - but Big T get the last laugh. We also chat more about the a9iii... what a beast! - - - - - - - - -  Your hosts: Greg is based in Northland, New Zealand Thom is based in NSW, Australia Sponsors: Studio Ninja - SNAPPENING50 - 50% off first year Queensberry - SNAPPENING19 - 40% off Workspace Pixellu - SPG20 - 20% off all products Make it Snappen ..read more

Hi Snappers In 159 Greg and Thom discuss a big shift in mindset when it comes to shooting weddings: that of shooting fewer portraits, and allocating less portrait time, and placing more emphasis on documenting the day as a whole, and shooting more like a photojournalist. Thom has also discovered the G.O.A.T of Lightroom shortcut key software: PowerKeys! - - - - - - - - - Your hosts: Greg is based in Northland, New Zealand Thom is based in NSW, Australia Sponsors: Studio Ninja - SNAPPENING50 - 50% off first year Queensberry - SNAPPENING19 - 40% off Workspace Pixellu - SPG20 - 20% off all prod ..read more

Greetings, Snappers Today's episode has some SERIOUS thicc topics and some mega deep cuts! First, we chat about FloGate - Pixieset's recent decision to kill off FloThemes, the Wordpress theme company we all know and love (and most of us use). Thom explains how he has already bailed and fully rebuilt his website with Kadence blocks. Greg then drops the bombshell that he's considering moving to a studio business model - taking bookings then sending out associate shooters to shoot the weddings, while keeping all admin and editing in-house. We talk about the positives and negatives of this appr ..read more

Hi Snaps - so after some waffling and sausage eating, Thom and Greg get to the meat on the bone and discuss their Top 10 Tips for brides and grooms.

THE SNAPPENING RETURNETH Hey everyone, we are back! Sorry it's been a while. Greg and Thom have both been traveling, and while we did take microphones with us and really wanted to record on the road, we just didn't get there. Super stoked to be back into it and record weekly again. In episode 154 we start off with a good old rant. We've noticed that some photographers keep their books closed for a certain future period, and then make a big fanfare about opening them up. In this episode we get down the nitty gritty on why people do this. We also talk about clients who THINK they want non-pose ..read more

Hey there, AI-Snappers Look, our industry is changing fast, largely due to developments in AI. Computers can now edit for us, and even cull for us! But is this a good thing? Is it ethical to have an AI system edit our photos? Is the quality the same? Listen in to hear our take on things. In this episode full of ranty goodness we also discuss Greg's coming storm-chasing adventure, heavy metal festivals, and how long after a wedding you should be delivering your photos. - - - - - - - - - Your hosts: Greg is based in Northland, New Zealand Thom is based in NSW, Australia - - - - - - - - - Sponso ..read more

Ok listen... the cat's out of the bag - Thom can't stand film photos at a wedding. He lies down on the velvet chaise lounge and vents his frustrations - to a very receptive Greg who basically feels the same way. Also - the Canon R3... we tried one and have in depth comparison to Sony. Then, thanks to Myckenzie Russell we have myriad questions to answer from her awesome Facebook post! Oh hey and Paul Walker - hope you're feeling ok after the 'lovely' feedback on your questions about your website ?

Hey Snap family!  Listen, we all get hungry. Especially after standing and shooting for 6 hours. So it's supremely disappointing to find out our meal has been forgotten, or to receive a meal that isn't really filling. In Episode 149 we discuss our methods to make sure this never happens again!  Thom also has a new Apple Studio Display, and some new lights.  Sponsors: Studio Ninja - SNAPPENING50 - 50% off first year Queensberry - SNAPPENING19 - 40% off Workspace Pixellu - SPG56 - 15% off all products Make it Snappen ..read more

Hey snappers - where did the last eight weeks go? Well we’re recording today and we start off by getting into how terrible the weather has been in Auckland. What do you do when it’s a rainy day?  Then we chat about what it’s like to take inspiration from other people's photography, or whether you’re better off to stick to your own style.  And yeah the elephant in the room is how we kinda love blurry black-and-white photos now... after savagely mocking them a few episodes ago.  Then lastly we appreciate how good auto focus is on modern cameras and then there’s a little extra to a ..read more

We're back! It's been so long and we launch straight into the supernatural, cars and Greg has a Lightroom hack. But most importantly, Thom has some real world feedback on how putting his prices on his website has changed his lead numbers and conversion rate! - - - - - - - - - Your hosts: Greg is based in Northland, New Zealand Thom is based in NSW, Australia - - - - - - - - - Sponsors: Studio Ninja - SNAPPENING50 - 50% off first year Mountain Edits - SNAP10 - 10% off first edit Queensberry - SNAPPENING19 - 40% off Workspace Pixellu - SPG56 - 15% off all products Make it Snappen ..read more
