​This is episode #4 of the Camera and Inspiration show at “PPN - Photo Podcast Network” for July 2017

• Marco picks this month inspirational photographer: Robert Doisneau - French photographer (1912 - 1994). If the name does not ring a bell then his most famous photo “The Kiss” probably will. He is considered a master of humanistic photography and has left us an incredible portfolio of amazing everyday street scenes from Paris that most people simply ignored or didn’t have an eye for. https://www.robert-doisneau.com/fr/portfolios/
• Here is the link to the small Robert Doisneau photo book published by Taschen that Marco has mentioned on the show: ($9.99) https://www.taschen.com/pages/de/catalogue/photography/all/05288/facts.doisneau.htm
• With vacation time coming up, Scott and Marco discuss if you should bring a camera on your time off and what to consider to make this an enjoyable experience for yourself as well as the non-photographers that may travel with you.
• How to research the location in terms of photographic opportunities before your trip.
• Take the opportunity of not having a client decide what you should shoot, and try something totally different from your normal photography.
• Eliminating unnecessary gear by answering the why and what you want to photograph before you go on your trip.
• Less gear on a trip = less worries and more fun. Always keep that in mind!
• Use the opportunity to work on your visual storytelling skills by documenting your trip in a way, that 20 images describe the whole trip to a viewer without you having to write a single word to explain it.

• Scott’s inspirational photo book of the month is called: “Show Your Work! 10 Ways to Share Your Creativity and Get Discovered” by Austin Kleon. https://austinkleon.com/show-your-work/
