Photography

It's a difficult time to be starting in photography, but the best strategy is to embrace the new AI tools and technologies that are emerging. This will help you remain competitive and open up new creative opportunities.
 
Transcript: "Oh man. These are weird times to be starting in photography, the onset of AI tools like DALL-E will forever change the entire creative industry. Some jobs, some jobs aren't exist anymore. But on the flip side, I'm sure a whole host of new jobs are going to be created. That's what history tells us anyway. Either way, it is a difficult time to be an established photographer, let alone a photographer starting off. I would say though, that the best strategy is to embrace these new tools. They're not going to go away. And the creatives that are left standing, I think they're going to be the ones that really understand and embrace this new technology."

My RED Dragon camera requires 240 watt-hour batteries, which will last me between three and four hours when I'm recording.
 
Transcript: "Hi, Lane. Thanks for your question. I'm assuming that you're referring to how long does my battery last because my camera is still going. It's a RED Dragon, and I've had that for over 10 years. And it's a great piece of equipment. But when I'm swimming out in the water, I generally take my big batteries, which are about 240 watt-hours. And they will last me between three and four hours, depending on how much I'm recording at the time. I hope that helps."

Worst purchases are speedlights, expensive and never used.
 
Transcript: "Worst purchases. I've always made been in speedlights. I feel like they're extremely expensive and I never end up using them.

So, yeah, there's usually my worst purchases"

Yes, I have had formal education in art and photography. I went to the High School of Art and Design in Manhattan and then the School of Visual Arts for a couple of years. My first job was washing and drawing prints in the darkroom of Look magazine.
 
Transcript: "Have you had any formal education in art or photography? Both actually, but mostly photography. I went to the High School of Art and Design in Manhattan, which is a high school that's open to anybody who lives in the five boroughs of New York City, and it's by entrance exam written as well as samples of your artwork. And early on in my life, I like playing with clay, and I did a lot of sculpture, and I went to the school. My original portfolio was a shopping bag full of clay animals, and that's what got me into the school. And the first year there, they give you a little bit of everything that's offered, and one of them was photography, and I was pretty much smitten with it from the get-go, and have not looked back. And after High School of Art and Design, I went to the School of Visual Arts for a couple of years, learned more about photography, a little bit about filmmaking, and from there I went out in the real world and started working. My first job was washing and drawing prints in the darkroom of Look magazine, and from there I started shooting for other publications and companies, and that's what I've been doing my whole life."
