We’re back with a real one—an honest, wide-ranging dive into the creative and professional world of photography. From gear talk to posing strategies, and industry myths to social media pressure, we’re pulling back the curtain on what it actually takes to thrive as a photographer today.We kick things off by confronting a common trap: overshooting. Is firing off hundreds of shots without a plan helping or hurting your work? We explore how shooting with intention can sharpen both your portfolio and your client experience. That leads us right into the often overlooked art of posing—and why most photographers need to seriously level up in that department if they want their portraits to stand out.Then we zoom out and tackle the dream jobs. Everyone wants to shoot for National Geographic or capture celebrities and concerts, but the behind-the-scenes truth isn’t always glamorous. We break down why some of the most “coveted” roles in photography don’t always lead to creative freedom—or financial stability.Next, we get technical. From the dangers of bad kit lenses to why you should stop leaning on bokeh to save a photo, we’re sharing how gear choices, aperture decisions, and tripod use actually impact your images. We also dig into the difference a strong composition makes—and why you should probably stop shooting everything from eye level.Later, we talk client work—everything from managing wardrobe changes to building trust and creating a relaxed shoot environment that makes people feel seen. We share real methods that build rapport fast and keep clients coming back.And of course, we hit the reality of posting online: how to deal with hate comments, why some content hooks work better than others, and how to stay emotionally resilient in a space that often rewards controversy over quality. We wrap with a reminder that great photography isn’t just about gear—it’s about clarity, consistency, and creativity.If you’ve ever felt stuck between trying to please clients, grow online, and still love what you’re creating—this one’s for you.🔗 Website: https://www.cortandluke.com📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cortandluke🎬 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/Cortandluke?_t=8r93xifpxqy&_r=1Hosted by: Luke Montgomery and Cort Letcher
