Ep 98 – Model Brenda Flavia



Model Brenda Flavia may describe herself as a kitchy hobby model, but she can tell you a thing or two about organization. Brenda is top of what it means to be an put-together model, and she is not afraid to sit down, face to face, with a photographer for an hour to discuss a shoot plan. In this episode, Brenda sets you straight!

97 – The Making of



Every week Photographer and Model brings you another podcast neatly wrapped in a cyber bow, but how on earth do we do it? Well, one thing is for sure, it is much more complicated than blah-blah-ing with awesome guests and pressing “record.” For all of our guests that have asked how this crazy operation works, here is your answer!

Ep 95 – Portfolio Essentials



Your portfolio. It’s not something to be taken lightly. It is the first thing anyone will see when they want to get a sense of what you can do. Keeping that in mind, Ron and Shawna thought they might share with you what they consider to be some ‘portfolio essentials.’ Plug in and compare notes!

Ep 94 – Photographer Chris Ford



Chris Ford is one of those photographers that knows how to have a great time on the set, but do not be fooled! He’s not all ‘fun and games.’ Photography is serious business for Chris. In this episode we talk, jest and muse over the crafting of images.

Ep 93 – Photographer Chanel Rene



If you are anything like Ron, Shawna and this week’s guest, photographer Chanel Rene, you surely have asked yourself some big questions such as, “How do I break the barrier between ‘internet photography’ and publishing my work? Or perhaps: “What is a utili-kilt?” Lucky for you, we answer these questions and so much more in this fun episode!

Ep 92 – What Does TFP really cost?



They say the best things in life are free, but does that include TFP? Well, perhaps not if you consider that TFP does not equal “FREE.” Ask any photographer or model and they will tell you that each party makes an investment, but how is that investment quantified? Leave it to Ron and Shawna to enlighten you!

Ep 91 – Model Isobel Wren (Part Two)



Shocking? Intriguing? Truth is stranger than fiction, or perhaps it is just more interesting. Whatever the case may be, model Isobel Wren has our attention. Miss Wren weaves many a tale and offers her musings on “modelography,” why the camera is not a third person, why shooting “sneeze fetish” is harder than it sounds, and oh so much more. So much more, in fact, that we had to split this interview into two delightful tidbits!

Ep 89 – Model Rachel Jay



Self-described “hobbyist” model, Rachel Jay wants new models to know that you do not have to jump at every photo shoot that comes your way. In other words, just because they are handing out, does not mean you have to take it! That goes for photo proofs from photographers, too. Intrigued? Then you will love to know what she thinks about “spray and pray” photographers. The wisdom does not end there either! Rachel Jay is handing out all kinds of model photography know-how, and we are taking it!
