My worst assisting experience was when I worked with an out of town photographer on a Music Industry shoot. The photographer walked around by himself early shooting details of the location while the talent was in hair and makeup. As everyone was coming to set, he looks at me and screams "why the hell is this lens on the camera!", understanding my place in the crew I took it and resisted the impulse to set him straight. I worked with the record label previously and they all looked at me with empathy because the guy was not pleasant. Fast forward to the next shoot with the label but different photographer, the AD's Assistant tells me those pictures were terrible and they had to reshoot with someone else. Karma can be beautiful and I try hard to treat people better.
Thanks Scott for the invitation on your show, thoroughly enjoyed chatting to you and appreciate you putting me at ease (I’m new to this podcast / TH-cam thing). All the best
As a former pro Danish photographer, I am happy that I was a photographer in the 1990s and not these days. I had a manual mid format Hasselblad and large format on Sinar camera using film. Life was simple. Happy New Year from Copenhagen😊
Mark Seliger shot the first Vanity Oscar Portraits with a medium format (Leaf and Phase One). The latest ones he shot with full frame mirrorless (Sony). I like them all, starting in 2014, but the latest ones have a bigger production value and are as good as the ones shot with medium format.
Thankx for this very informative video, I really enjoyed watching. I am not a pro and it's so valuable to be able to listen to pro's talk about their work ! What a pleasant, humble and knowledgable guy, no wonder he is getting so many good jobs. 👏
Of all photo related content, I’ve learnt and understood so much more watching this at 2x speed than 2 weeks of other photo influencer content. Thanks!
That's so weird on the tethering. My organization uses Canons and we're constantly having tethering issues with our cameras and looking for the best cables to tether with (we've been having luck with Area 51s) and my Sony tethers with anything. USB-A, USB-C, a wet noodle, a piece of licorice, two cups on a string. It'll tether with it. I use charge-only cables all the time with it. Still works.
Loved this piece, the uncertainty and hesitation from the presenters really came over as an impromptu conversation, which was refreshing and entertaining. Always entertaining please keep on making them this way. I am intrigued as to why when setting up with a “new” piece of hire equipment that you don’t reset the camera or piece of gear to factory defaults as a matter of course. Not a problem pre electronic cameras but these days I try to keep a set of presets for my current cameras just in case I have to hire in a replacement.
In all my many idle hours of YT rabbit-holing, this is by far the most fascinating video I've watched on photo technology. Riveting from start to finish. Excellent job! Looking forward to the next one. Still not sure about that clickbait title, mind... 🙂

Very cool!
Blads and Sinars as an assistant in the early 1980s for me ... happier times

Thank you for splitting the video's timeline into sections! This makes the video far more usable for learning.
Glad it was helpful!
Assisting, then Shooting a lot in the 70's, 80's ,90's things were Way different...... Thanks to Both of You ,,, Very interesting :) :) :)
Do not upgrade the OS, damn right. Been stuffed by that before. The best piece of advice for sure.
I have learned so much from this, thank you Scott

Sounds like a digiitech is really the photographer and the photographer is really the creative director.
Thank you guys
Another awesome podcast.
Thanks for listening

Glad you enjoyed it!
You could be brothers
That Mamiya/Phase comment hits home so hard hahahaha
Yup haha
Thanks from Canada.
Our pleasure!
3D, cibachrome prints gave that effect.
It's a beard-tastic episode!
I'm sorry to be annoying, but , what is the affordable camera and software combo ?
Makes me want to go back to film ;-)
My only issue with Velvia using the gfx 100ii is that my reds are always pinkish tones, kind of annoying but nice overall
Yeah, I’m personally a fan, but I think you can easily revert that one aspect then save as your own version
another cracking video
Glad you enjoyed it
Must also have a beard!
The m1 studio is not faster then the m4 max :) The M2 studio is slightly faster then m4 max for some things but not all :)
That said. Im using my m1pro macbook pro and still the fking beast it was when I bought it
If you have a DigiTech why do you need a photographer. Oh, of course, to press the shutter release. just asking.
Omg. Brothers!!!
Haha yeah I didn’t notice until the edit
Sorry but the Fuji Camera Velvia Profile looks like a 5 year old or Ken Rockwell played with the saturation sliders. Totally useless.
I love me a bit of Velvia.
For skin tones? Ya Velvia is garbage. But, for making product look “technicolor”? Can’t be beat… Velvia 50 was suuuper hot in the 90s.
@@kenrhemNot talking about the Film but the "Film Simulation" in Fuji digital cameras. That one doesn't look like the film did.
The. industry is rejecting the ESPN sports surgical look. People want photography to look like photography.
Haha! Rockwell still shoots like it’s the 1970s.
