This week on the pod, I'm joined by Andrew Tallon to chat about what it's really like to shoot weddings entirely on film. We dive into his transition from digital, the logistics of shooting 100% film, his approach to creating personalized wedding albums, and why photographers need to be more mindful of the space they take up on a wedding day. From film stocks to the overall client experience, there's a lot to unpack in this one!Meet Andrew: Andrew Tallon is an Australian photographer and filmmaker based in Copenhagen, Denmark. An engineer-turned-creative, he's obsessed with process and detail, and how it can unlock authentic storytelling and physical experiences for couples and brands.Andrew has photographed weddings since 2010 and now shoots exclusively on film.

Happy Halloween! This week, we're diving into some wild photography horror stories from around the internet. From ordering expensive film and receiving rocks instead, to photographers faking film photos, disappearing gear, and weddings that weren't actually weddings. Some are hilarious, some are genuinely terrifying, and all of them are enough to give any photographer nightmares.Connect with Me:Become a Member of Summer SchoolSubscribe here to our emails for updates on all things Summer School!Instagram: @summergrace.photo @the_summerschool Shop My Products:Summer Grace x G-Presets (discount code: SUMMERSCHOOL)Pricing Guide*Summer School is powered by Narrative — the AI culling and editing tool I use that supports my workflow without replacing my creativity.

Does photography gear actually matter? I think it does, just not in the way most people think. In this episode, I'm sharing why the cameras and lenses you use can impact your creative style, how certain gear has actually helped me book clients, and why more expensive doesn't always mean better.Connect with Me:Become a Member of Summer SchoolSubscribe here to our emails for updates on all things Summer School!Instagram: @summergrace.photo @the_summerschool Shop My Products:Summer Grace x G-Presets (discount code: SUMMERSCHOOL)Pricing Guide*Summer School is powered by Narrative — the AI culling and editing tool I use that supports my workflow without replacing my creativity.

AI has become one of the most debated topics in photography, so I’m sitting down with Narrative founder James Broadbent to ask some of the questions photographers are actually thinking about. We talk about the environmental impact of AI, image privacy and security, whether AI is taking away from creativity, and the difference between using AI to replace your decisions versus using it as a tool to make your workflow faster. We also get into how Narrative approaches AI differently, why your creative decisions still matter, and some of the newest features coming to Narrative.About James Broadbent:James Broadbent is the founder of Narrative, a company that began in Auckland, New Zealand, and has grown to be recognized as one of the nation's leading startups. An internationally renowned photographer, James is celebrated for his work with the photography duo Chasewild.

I’ve never paid for ads to book a wedding. In this episode, I’m breaking down how I’ve built a thriving wedding photography business through Instagram, referrals, networking, vendor relationships, and simply making sure people know what I do.
