FSB089: David Bean

I don’t know what it is about Nashville, but it seems like they have a knack of churning out amazing pro photographers in a short period of time. A few weeks ago we had celebrity portrait photographer Jeremy Cowart who started out as a graphic designer, then switched to commercial photography, and now after only [...]

FSB083: Jeremy Cowart

Sometime the stars all align for a guy and an innate talent can quickly lead to super stardom. Jeremy Cowart is such an individual. He started his full time commercial and music editorial photography business in April 2005. In December of that year he was photographing music legend Sting (yeah, as in the ex-lead singer [...]

FSBTV022: Mike Colon – Part 7

In early October 2008, Brooks Institute hosted a very special F-Stop Beyond: In Living Color, which we produced in partnership with PhotographyMentor.com. A live webcast was held. Renown celebrity wedding and lifestyle photographer Mike Colon took almost three hours of his busy schedule to share his personal and professional take on life and the industry.

FSB070: Kevin Swan

Get ready for a roller coaster ride. This is one of those episodes that goes from one extreme to another. Our guest today is none other than that marketing maven in the world of wedding photography, and co-founder of Kiss Wedding Books, Kevin Swan. Kevin is a man known to state his mind and get [...]

FSB064: Dane Sanders

The inaugural episode of F-Stop Beyond had two guests: Jasmine Star and today’s guest, Dane Sanders. But, back then, we only had him on for about ten minutes. Since Dane was a guest for the very first show, it seems apropos to have him on this first episode of the show on the F-Stop Beyond: [...]

Re-run: Robert Evans

Hi folks. As I write this, I’m on the road as we make our big move to the Atlanta, GA metro area. There is so much in the works, I don’t have time to go into detail. Because of the move, I’m going to have to play some re-runs over the next couple of weeks. [...]

Episode 55: Scarlett Lillian

A couple of years ago, I came across a fellow videographer’s website whose work I thought was terrific. Sadly, shortly after discovering this videographer (and sharing some tidbits of wisdom with her), I learned she turned her sights from videography to photography. Since that time Scarlett Lillian’s star has been quickly rising. In this episode [...]

Episode 53: Shoot Q Grant Winner

In a number of past episodes, we’ve brought up the topic of using one’s artistic skills to better one’s community. The amazing photographers at LaCour, who are also the founders of management software solution ShootQ, have started a grant to give photographers an opportunity to pursue personal projects that raise public awareness about a social, [...]

Should “Religious” Photographers Be Banned from the Show?

We recently got this e-mail from a listener to the show.
Hi:
If you are the guy that does the f stop podcast interviews I wonder if you can possibly avoid religious photographers eschewing and promoting their pompous religious beliefs on your show? I can’t stand these idiots’ beliefs, their espousing their beliefs or your pandering to [...]

Episode 51: Carey Schumacher and Skip Cohen

What started out as an innocent enough challenge, to see who could grill the better BBQ dog, turned into a major event. RangeFinder Publishing/WPPI President Skip Cohen took on wedding and portrait photographer Carey Schumacher for a battle of the sexes, a la “iron chef.” It probably won’t go down in history as big a [...]
