You're listening to the Master Photography Podcast. Welcome into the Master Photography Roundtable, part of the Master Photography Podcast

Network. You were doing by thousands of photographers listening to this show who are

on the scene, journey to master their photography I'm Jeff Harmon the host for this

episode I'm solo and I'm gonna get real and vulnerable and I'm gonna tell you about

a failure I had on a recent shoot.

Now, I've decided I wanted to be like real in this episode because I feel like we live in a world where information is is highly curated in some cases entirely

staged I'm talking about things like I love it in the beginning of of the Juman movie. There's this female character who works really, really

hard on lighting and environment and the angle of the camera and she works hard to get it just

right so she can take a photo to put on social media and

she comments with the photo just rolling out of bed as if like she just barely woke up and

took a snap of the photo. Totally staged it totally worked super hard. up and I feel like that's how we see

staged it totally worked super hard to make it look just the way she

wanted and I feel like that's that's how we see things a lot today.

From a photography perspective we tend see

only like the best finalized, fully processed images.

Finalized, fully processed images.

And photographers don't, they don't put out the images that didn't work, the

images that led to those images, the preceding ones. They don't publish shots

where everything else was perfect, but they missed focus.

They don't you don't see that we don't see the 300 other shots that came out of a shoot

with varying degrees of bad to okay to that pretty good. We only see the shots that are really good and that they can be really proud of And it makes sense as a brand for a photographer.

You don't want to put out those other things
