Welcome to 2021 and the twins are trying a new approach for our podcast.  We are trying Instagram LIVE and then pushing the recording here for the audio podcast.  This first episode was not without it&apos;s challenges BUT, we managed to push audio in/out of Instagram, load up two phantom powered mics AND bring in two live callers.  All with the help of the amazing RODE CasterPro.  Our first interview on the new platform was Ben Stanley, a young budding photographer that still in high school.  We met at EÔTÉ COFFEE COMPANY while he was admiring my new Wandrd backpack.  We chatted a little about photography and lots about everything else.  On the plus-size, Ben received a personal invitation to attend the next Metro Professional Photographers Association meeting and the new Thirsty Thursday event, but he isn&apos;t old enough to drink yet.Enjoy the podcast and if you wish to check out the live version, head over to the FotoFacts Instagram feed!  We are sure to get better!Find and Follow Ben on Instagram @dslr_n_handGet $35 off your first year of PPA (use Robert Trawick or Jim Felder as the referral - like a popularity vote)Visit our YouTube Videos for more weekly inspiration!Connect on the Facebook Page for news and upcoming interview polls.Leave a review on iTunes and let others know about the show.The Foto Twins love using Røde Microphones & RødeCaster Pro for smooth, quality audio on our podcast episodes.

Our Christmas List for 2020

We don't always have sports photographers on the show, but when we do... we go for the homerun!This week, the Twins chat with Carrie Giordano with a little help from local sports shooter Ron Lane.  For this episode, Ron had to guide us in baseball jargon like "The Well", a personal favorite place for this LA Dodger photographer to shoot action.Carrie is not your average choice for a major league baseball shooter, but we have no doubt she can carry her own even if Jim & I have no idea wants she is talking about.  Ron was able to keep us in the game but mostly on the bench.What we do know about is great photography and Carrie's landscape work is impressive.  We all would love to see more of that work and her true calling.  I know she is reading this, so - Carrie, get out there and show that nature work!  We are excited to hear from you soon for the upcoming education opportunities in either style of your work.Be sure to follow, like and share Carrie's social media.  Find her on these fine platforms:WebsiteInstagramFacebookEmail: CARRIE@CARRIEGIORDANO.COMGet $35 off your first year of PPA (use Robert Trawick or Jim Felder as the referral - like a popularity vote)Visit our YouTube Videos for more weekly inspiration!Connect on the Facebook Page for news and upcoming interview polls.Leave a review on iTunes and let others know about the show.The Foto Twins love using Røde Microphones & RødeCaster Pro for smooth, quality audio on our podcast episodes.

This week&apos;s episode takes more detours than the Millennium Falcon making the Kessel Run.  The guest, of course, is Gary Hughes, a full-time commercial portrait photographer based in Orlando, Florida.The theme is HEADSHOTS and we do chat "some" about the topic but Gary has more information crammed into his brain that most and we just sprinkled a conversation starter letting him take us far beyond Numidian Prime.  Strap in because the next hour is filled with facts, humor, and more than a few guidelines that will make you think twice about how to pursue your photography happy zone.The twins are betting that this episode only scratches the surface of the talented, light master, and when you need to get closer to the legend, look no further than Dallas, Texas where Gary will be 3 times over the next 6 months!Texas SchoolDallas PPAImagingUSA Gary is also the co-host of the popular PhotoBomb Podcast with Booray Perry.  Be sure to check out his work online, follow his social media, and listen to his podcast.Find GaryWebsiteEducation StoreFacebookYouTubePhotoBomb PodcastGet $35 off your first year of PPA (use Robert Trawick or Jim Felder as the referral - like a popularity vote)Visit our YouTube Videos for more weekly inspiration!Connect on the Facebook Page for news and upcoming interview polls.Join the conversations on Flick appLeave a review on iTunes and let others know about the show.The Foto Twins love using Røde Microphones & RødeCaster Pro for smooth, quality audio on our podcast episodes.
