  • Jeffrey is a pro photographer known for making photographs that capture the essence of place. His passion is to capture images of beauty and wonder that surrounds us. His landscape and wildlife images have been featured in many publications. And he is represented by several galleries in the south-east of the USA.
 
  • Jeffrey shares how he was approached by a gallery and how this event changed the course of his future life - leaving a good job to become a photographer selling his art mainly through galleries.
 
  • Jeffrey the American photographer O. Winston Link (1914 - 2001) as the PPN inspirational photographer of the month. o. Winston is probably best known for his artistic documentation of the last active American steam trains in the 1950’s. His contrasty B&W images were often shot at night and he created a unique atmosphere by installing many flashes in surrounding houses to create a special look to his images. Check out some of his images at Artsy.net: https://www.artsy.net/artist/o-winston-link
 
  • In the main part of the show, Jeffrey and Marco discuss how to select and approach galleries that you want to be represented by to sell your pictures. How should you prepare before you introduce yourself to a gallery? How to get to know galleries in your region? What kind of galleries are out there and what are the general terms that you have to accept? And what you can do to become one of the favorite artists for a gallery.

The new Fuji X-T3, Canon EOS R, Panasonic LX100 II, Leica M10-P, Apple iPhones, and COSYSPEED PHONESLINGER are some of the topics that Marco and Angela discuss on episode #18 of the “We Shoot Mirrorless” podcast for September 2018.

Marco announced that the collaborative street photography book: “Streetfotografie made in Germany” is now shipping. Marco is one of the authors and has written the introduction to this book. The book is currently available only in German and can be ordered at: 
Amazon Germany -> https://amzn.to/2om4CTP

​

Mirrorless news of the month:

  • The Fuji X-T3 is the latest upgrade to the popular X-T line. While the outer appearance of the camera is very similar to that of the previous version X-T2, under the hood there are a lot of speed and usability improvements that could make this 26MP APS-C camera even more popular than the previous version.

Fuji X-T3:

Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2xxGstM   


  • Fujifilm also announced firmware updates to the X-T100 and X-A5 cameras that can be downloaded on the Fujifilm Website here: http://www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_cameras/software/fw_table.html
 
​
  • Canon announced their first full frame mirrorless camera, the Canon EOS R. Just two weeks after the announcement of the Nikon Z cameras, Canon followed with their mirrorless flagship camera that and the new RF mount. The camera has a 30.3 CMOS sensor with Digic 8 processor and dual pixel AF with 5.655 selectable AF points and a very good low light AF performance. Our friends at Camera Jabber wrote their first hands-on review and were impressed with the AF performance: https://camerajabber.com/canon-eos-r-review/

Canon has also announced 4 new lenses for the RF mount as well as three different EF-RF lens adapters

  • Panasonic has updated their popular fixed zoom LX100 camera with the new LX100 II. The unique multi aspect ratio 4/3 sensor together with the excellent Leica Vario-Summilux lens (with an EFV of 24-75mm at f1.8-2.8) and leaf shutter make this a silent compact camera that is ideal for travel and street photography. The external control dials for aperture, shutter speed, and exposure compensation add to the usability concept of this camera. The only thing that we would have liked to see is a tilt LCD to complete this concept.

  • Leica has added the M10-P to their M10 lineup. The new camera has a touch LCD, the quietest shutter of all M cameras and a few optical changes like the missing red dot.

  • Apple has released 3 new iPhone models with faster processors and a lot of computational photography magic under the hood. You will be able to change the DOF aperture appearance from f1.4 - f16 in post processing and Marco will soon put this to the test. https://www.apple.com/iphone/
 
  • With the increasing popularity, our sponsor COSYSPEED has started the PHONESLINGER mobile phone bag Indigogo campaign. The new PHONESLINGER bag series offers different bags for different purposes. The PHONESLINGER Power, for example, has an integrated Qi-Wireless charger to recharge your phone wirelessly when it’s in the bag. And the PHONESLINGER Prime holds your Smartphone and up to 4 smartphone lenses. There is also a PHONESLINGER Outdoor that is a rugged safe place for your phone when you’re out in nature.

Mirrorless question of the month:
With the increasing popularity of Mirrorless, and the expanding availability of native glass for them, do you think DSLRs (as they are today) will be obsoleted in the next year or two? Or do you think they will stick around for longer?

​Question by: Jason from California, USA


  • We have a PPN Photo Podcast Network group at Flickr (click link) that is open to our listeners and photos taken with all mirrorless camera brands. If you want to join just let us know through the "request invitation" button on the group and drop us a quick line there. We'll add you to the group then. And please ask for the invite via the web browser and not via the Flickr App. The invite process via the app has not been working reliably. You can also submit an image using the Instagram hashtag #WeShootMirrorless
 
  • We have picked our monthly featured photographer and image from the submitted photos. Our monthly We Shoot Mirrorless feature photo and photographer of the month is: Jackson Thomas - Title: Connected (click here).

How to create a great looking photographer website with Gustav Degerman.
We have received several listener questions regarding what it takes to create a professional looking portfolio website for your images and/or photography business?

In order to discuss the different aspects of this topic, Marco invited Gustav Degermann who built a business offering an online portfolio website builder for creatives. Gustav is the CEO of Portfoliobox.net, who is also one of the sponsors of PPN.

These are some of the topics that Marco and Gustav discuss on this episode:

​
  • Why should photographers and other creatives have a designated portfolio website with their own domain URL? Why isn’t it enough to be on Instagram or Facebook?
 
  • How should one structure a photography website and what necessary information should be included?
 
  • How many images are a good average for a well-balanced website?
 
  • How should you integrate social media into your website?
 
  • Gustav mentioned this photography print shop from Martin Stranka: http://www.martinstranka.com/prints
 
  • How does a good integration of an e-commerce section work?
 
  • How should you approach SEO for your photography website?
 
  • What are other marketing tools are effective to market your products and services?

Q&A about fast image workflow suggestions, is one card slot safe enough for photographers, how to start charging for photos, and how and why to soft proof?

Here are the questions that Marco answers in this episode:

1. Hi Marco, I have started to cover live events like sports, concerts, and festivals in my area. I really enjoy doing this kind of photography and want to grow this into a part-time business. But with the fast-paced news cycle, I have realized that you need to be the first one sending the photos out in order to be picked up by relevant media outlets. But shooting and at the same time importing, sorting, and post-processing the images with my MacBook Pro is currently way too slow. How do you do it and what are your suggestions for a speedy workflow on the go?
Question from: Victor, Dayton, Ohio

Products discussed in the answer:

Lexar 1000x Pro SD UHS-II card
B&H: https://bhpho.to/2NPSUvF

Photo Mechanic Software: http://www.camerabits.com/tour-v5/



2. I am currently transitioning from being a hobby photographer to a part-time pro photographer and want to eventually switch to be a full-time photographer. As a hobby photographer, my friends and relatives always asked me to bring my camera and take portraits or document a wedding for free. But as they are my starting customer base in this transition, how can I manage to now charge them for the photos that they are used to get for free?
Thanks for the wonderfully diverse photo podcasts that you produce each month!
Question from: Camilla, Göteborg, Sweden



3. I’m a wedding photographer and currently use a Nikon D500 (APS-C) with two memory card slots (SD+XQD). I have been waiting for the release of the new Nikon mirrorless camera and want to add it as a FF body for it’s quieter operation without mirror noise and better ISO, DOF and live view AF performance. But as many reviewers have already noted, the Z6 only has one XQD memory card slot. As a wedding photographer who can not repeat to shoot a wedding day, I am very afraid of losing images when I only have one card slot in the camera. Is this a valid fear or is this just gear hysteria?
Question by: Adrian, Manchester, England
