Dear Terrible Friends, This episode is going to be a little different. I wanted to let you know that I'm going to be taking a little bit of a break for a bit. I’m actually about to leave (in a few days) for a three-week trip with my daughter. We’re going to bounce around the East Coast a little bit. Spending some time around the mountains of Virginia, then DC, then Philly, NYC, Boston then into the sticks of New England. By the way, if you’re in those areas, and want to grab coffee or a beer, le
Worth - Why Great Photographers Get $600 Clients (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Episode 80 — Worth Photographers love telling each other to “know your worth.” Okay. What’s mine? One client trusts you with a production worth tens of thousands of dollars.

There is a quiet, infuriating moment every creator faces: looking at the LCD screen and realizing the image in front of you isn't even in the same conversation as the one living in your head. In Part Two of our series on Gear, Craft & Voice , Patrick Fore breaks down what it actually takes to close the gap between imagination and execution. From late-night isolation sessions trying to light reflective acoustic guitars to nearly blowing a high-stakes commercial architecture shoot by blindly follo
Photography - The Gear, The Craft, and The Voice - Part One (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Photography: The Gear, The Craft & The Voice — Part One Every photographer inherits a definition of good before they've earned one. This episode is about where that definition actually comes from, why gear ends up being the evidence of it, and why the real question was never which camera to buy. Patrick walks through camera store tribalism, the teachers nobody asks to have (YouTubers, algorithms, magazines, the guy at the counter), a British portrait photographer who rewired how he thought about
