Jack and John discuss the concept of the “dumbing down of photography” in how nice, or not so nice, photographs are being accepted and lauded as good or great photographs, showing how our standards and expectations have lessened over the years.  This topic can be somewhat controversial and remember, this is just our opinions, not fact, so please take them with a grain of salt.

Excerpt from Davids Bio:

I’m David duChemin and I want to help you make the strongest, most compelling photographs of your life, and to do so with joy and freedom, to make photographs that are more than just good, but truly your own.

I’m a world & humanitarian assignment photographer, best-selling author, digital publisher, podcaster, and international workshop leader. Now based on Vancouver Island, Canada, when I’m home, my life is spent chasing compelling images on all 7 continents and teaching others to see, photograph, and get the most from, this astonishing life.

“Life,” to quote the late Helen Keller, “is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.”

A brief bio of Ignacio

I am a freelance travel and nature photographer from Spain who has had the privilege of travelling around the world since 1998 collecting an extensive and hopefully strong set of images of people, places, wildlife and landscapes across more than ninety countries in all continents. It was during this first round the world trip, and particularly in India where I learned to watch and wait for life. All good photos start with a great journey, and journeys open the heart, the mind and the eyes. During this fourth trip to India I got really inspired and made the decision to pursue a career as a travel photographer and follow in the footsteps of three generations of photographers in my family. Since that trip, I have been drawn back to Asia again and again, lured by its people, architecture, temples, ceremonies, festivals, its colours and smells.

In 2016, I was also given the great honor of being announced as a Master of Photography by the AIPP (Australian Institute of Professional Photography). I am extremely proud to have achieved this honour after a number of years working towards it. In 2018 I obtained my first Gold Bar (double Masters).

In this episode Jack and John discuss several topics, including the rise in AI generated images in photography.  Plus, we discuss the importance of developing a circle of trusted people to provide constructive feedback about your images in order to grow you artistic vision and skills.  Of course, you yourself need to be the strongest critic and need to develop the skills to do this in an un-emotional way, shedding the baggage and emotional attachment you may feel to an image, at least during the critical evaluation stages.
