He Shot Film That Expired in 1946 | Nick LoPresti What happens when you try to make photographs on film that expired in 1946? In episode 332 of the Camera Shake Podcast, Nick LoPresti joins Kersten Luts for a conversation about curiosity, useful failure and making film photography fun again. Nick explains why he experiments with old film, what he learns from testing and developing it, and how a familiar scene can become a new puzzle. We discuss shooting directly on photographic paper, developing at home and finding a scanning setup that suits the way you work. The conversation also tackles the cost of every exposure, thrift-store cameras, mistakes worth making and the temptation to collect more gear. Nick shares the realities of making photography videos, balancing ambitious edits with a sustainable workload, and keeping humour and community at the heart of analog photography.

How do individual street photographs become a project? In episode 331 of the Camera Shake Podcast, street photographer and educator Valérie Jardin joins Kersten Luts to explore the choices that turn a folder of images into a meaningful body of work. Valérie explains how she recognises recurring themes, chooses photographs with instinct and sequences images into a book. Through projects about hands, local trades and centenarians, she shares how an idea can evolve when you meet the people at its heart. We discuss working with a consistent focal length, finding projects close to home and making strong photographs without showing faces. Valérie also explores the fear of photographing strangers, the difference between humour and ridicule, and knowing when a project has become too easy. Whether you’re starting a personal project or developing your photographic voice, this conversation offers practical photography advice on seeing, selecting and staying curious.

Peter Coulson returns to Camera Shake for a candid conversation about what makes portrait photography feel alive. He explains why directing a person goes beyond arranging a pose, and how movement, attention and the right words can help you capture genuine expression. In episode 329, we explore reading facial cues, working with experienced models and everyday clients, and recognising the moment worth photographing. Peter shares why he avoids telling people to hold, how he uses video to encourage natural movement, and when showing someone a strong image can build their confidence.

For anyone building a photography business, the conversation offers practical insights into client communication and the experience you create in front of the camera.

What can you learn by stepping in front of your own camera? In Camera Shake episode 328, Kersten Luts talks with Mark Rodriguez about self-portrait photography, creative confidence and building images that tell a story. Mark shares how he develops conceptual photography ideas through word prompts and mind mapping, then brings them to life with lighting, costumes, handmade props and Photoshop compositing. We explore why matching perspective, shadows and light direction matters, how he combines different frames, and when starting again is the best creative decision. There’s practical photography advice on remote triggers, interval shooting, tethered capture and working between Lightroom and Photoshop. We also discuss the value of photographing yourself, understanding the experience of your subjects, and finding a visual style that feels personal. Along the way, Mark reflects on grief, humour, criticism and the satisfaction of making something yourself. Whether you’re an amateur, a working professional, exploring videography or starting a photography business, this conversation offers ideas for developing your craft and approaching portrait sessions with greater intention.

What Portrait Photographers Should Never Retouch asks a question: when does improving an image become changing the person? In this episode of The Camera Shake Photography Podcast, Kersten speaks with Lithuanian portrait photographer and RetouchLab founder Skaistė Gulbinaitė about natural portrait retouching, client confidence and creating photographs that still feel authentic. Skaistė explains why many people dislike photographs of themselves, how phone cameras and beauty filters can distort self-image, and why trust begins long before Photoshop. She shares practical photography advice for directing nervous clients, maintaining flow during a portrait session and using posing, lighting and camera angles instead of reshaping bodies in post-production. The conversation also explores skin retouching, scars, wrinkles, commercial beauty photography and the ethical line between polishing a portrait and erasing someone’s identity. Skaistė reveals how repetitive editing inspired her to build RetouchLab, why photographers should keep creative control when using AI, and what she learned from leaving medical school to pursue art and build a photography business. Whether you work in photography, videography or visual content creation, this thoughtful conversation will help you create better client experiences and more honest images.

What does it take to survive — and succeed — as a professional photographer for more than four decades? In this episode of The Camera Shake Photography Podcast, Kersten sits down with award-winning portrait photographer and educator Kirk Voclain to explore the lessons he's learned during 45+ years behind the camera. Kirk shares how he photographed his first paid wedding at just 15, what shooting film taught him about patience and composition, and why photographers who refuse to adapt risk getting left behind when the industry changes. We talk about portrait photography, connecting with clients, photography pricing, selling digital files, running a photography business and the difference between being a talented photographer and actually making a living from photography. Kirk also reveals how the unusual access he experienced as a professional photographer inspired his spy thriller Double Exposure — and what it feels like to become a beginner again after decades of mastering another creative craft.

How do you become a photographer when you cannot picture images in your mind? In “The Photographer Who Can’t Picture His Own Photos,” Kersten Luts speaks with fine-art travel photographer Nico Trinkhaus about aphantasia, visual memory and the stories behind his remarkable cityscape photography. Nico explains why photographs act as an external memory, how early experiments with HDR photography shaped his style, and how a lightning strike over Berlin’s Alexanderplatz transformed his photography career. He also shares the story of Europe Rising, a long-term travel photography project created in response to Brexit and photographed across Europe at sunrise. The conversation then turns to photography copyright, image theft and PhotoClaim, the company Nico co-founded to help photographers protect their work. Nico discusses licensing, copyright infringement, AI-generated imagery and why photography still matters in an increasingly synthetic visual world.

AI changed photography. Are photographers still needed—or does the human behind the camera matter more than ever? In this episode of Camera Shake, Kersten Luts welcomes back director, photographer and digital imaging specialist Micah Burke to take an honest look at the state of AI in photography. Four years after their first conversation, generative AI has moved from novelty to production tool, reshaping photo editing, retouching, compositing, graphic design and AI video. Micah shares workflows using Adobe Photoshop, Firefly, Stable Diffusion and generative video, while revealing where AI saves time—and where it creates extra work. They explore client expectations, brand consistency, copyright, computational photography and whether AI belongs inside cameras. The conversation also asks the bigger questions: Can we still trust an image? Will Photoshop and photography skills become more valuable? What can a human photographer offer that a generator cannot? And where are opportunities for anyone building a photography business? If you’re an amateur photographer, working professional, videographer or creative business owner, this thoughtful, funny and practical discussion will help you understand what is changing and how to adapt.

Are better cameras making photography worse? In this episode of the Camera Shake Photography Podcast, Kersten Luts sits down with technology broadcaster, consumer champion and Photography & Video Show Podcast host David McClelland to explore how modern camera technology is reshaping photography and videography. From smartphones and computational photography to mirrorless cameras, compact point-and-shoots and hybrid photo-video workflows, David examines whether increasingly powerful tools are helping photographers become more creative—or simply making technically polished images easier to produce. The conversation also looks at why smartphones have transformed image-making, why camera manufacturers still struggle with connectivity, how social media is changing visual storytelling, and why limitations can sometimes lead to stronger photographs. David shares stories from his career in television, technology journalism and self-shooting production, including filming with early iPhones, working with professional camera systems and adapting to smaller tools such as the DJI Osmo Pocket.

After 25 years of Photoshop, which skills still matter—and which are being replaced by artificial intelligence? In this episode of The Camera Shake Podcast, Kersten Luts sits down with PhotoshopCAFE founder Colin Smith for a wide-ranging conversation about Photoshop, photography, generative AI and the future of visual creativity. Colin explains why AI is an incredibly useful assistant, but still cannot replace taste, observation, judgement or a clear creative vision. They explore how Photoshop has evolved from its earliest days, why layers transformed digital image editing, and how automated masking, Generative Fill and AI retouching are changing professional photography workflows. Colin also shares the story behind PhotoshopCAFE, his approach to online education, and how he has stayed relevant through books, courses, YouTube and constant changes in creative technology. The conversation covers photo retouching, non-destructive editing, copyright, authenticity, creative limitations, computational photography and the future of cameras. It also offers practical insight for photographers, videographers and anyone building a photography business in a fast-changing industry. Most importantly, Colin explains why craftsmanship may become more valuable again.

Jerry Ghionis: How to Pose Anyone is a practical, thought-provoking conversation about creating portrait photography that feels natural, flattering and genuinely meaningful. World-renowned portrait and wedding photographer Jerry Ghionis joins Kersten Luts to explain why great posing begins long before a client steps in front of the camera. Jerry explores how trust, empathy and clear direction help nervous clients relax, and why photographers should build a pose carefully before using emotion to make it feel real. You’ll learn Jerry’s five-step approach—light, location, pose, technique and emotion—along with actionable posing tips for faces, hands, body language, couples and everyday people who are not professional models. He also discusses portrait lighting, client communication, confidence, creative growth, social media trends and the value of mastering your craft through practice and failure. Whether you shoot headshots, weddings, branding photography, fashion, video, or are building a photography business, this episode offers useful photography advice you can apply on your next shoot. It is equally valuable for photographers and videographers who want stronger on-camera direction and more authentic expressions.

In this episode of Camera Shake, Kersten Luts sits down with internationally renowned photographer, author and educator Vincent Versace for a deep conversation about why photography is not about taking pictures — it is about learning to see. Vincent shares his thoughts on artificial intelligence, digital photography, natural light, lens choice, black and white, infrared photography, mirrorless cameras, Nikon glass and the creative discipline behind making images that actually mean something. From shooting more without losing intention, to using technology as a tool rather than a crutch, this interview explores what photographers can do to create work that feels personal, emotional and alive. We also talk about the difference between sharpness and blur, why natural light is still one of the most powerful tools in photography, and why photographers need to stop chasing likes and start making images that move them. Whether you are an amateur photographer, professional photographer, videographer, portrait photographer, or someone building a photography business, this conversation is packed with insight, humour and practical photography advice.
