Stolen gear, unpaid gigs, shipping scams, and more. Tony and Chelsea tell their stories of being scammed out of camera gear, common scams used on photographers, and how to protect yourself from losing your gear, money, and time.

We've all heard someone say a photographer isn't a REAL photographer. But what really makes a "real" photographer? Is it the gear, income, experience, or something else? Tony an Chelsea have fun reviewing the insults thrown at "fake photographers" and try to define their own idea of what makes a real photographer.

Tony and Chelsea review the most memorable times camera manufacturers have reversed features, walked back claims, and completely lied. It's funny, it's frustrating, and it's bound to make you rethink how you shop for cameras.

Tony & Chelsea interview photographer, Chad Fish, and talk about his viral photo of a jet shooting down a suspected spy balloon. Chad tells us how he got the shot, how the photo went viral, and how he initially made ZERO dollars. To help Chad, and other photographers, Chelsea and Tony interview expert photojournalist, John Herrington, and find out how photos are sold to the press, what Chad should have done differently, and how much Chad should have charged. With our new found knowledge, we sent Chad back to negotiate some money for his photo and find out how much a viral photo is worth.

You've heard the hype about A.I. created photographs and art but is the hype real? How soon could A.I. take over the photo world? Could it actually help photographers? Tony & Chelsea dig into the world of A.I. and give their thoughts about how A.I. could impact photographers.

Tony's reviews are always full of in-depth tests like auto focus tracking and ISO performance in low light yet the camera he chooses to use every day would NOT be the winner of his review tests. In this video, we talk about Tony's camera secret and how camera reviews should and shouldn't influence you camera buying decisions.

The camera companies are always in a race to be at the top! Which is innovating the best features? Which is getting the best sales? Who has the best strategy?

Last year, Chelsea predicted Canon would stay in the number one spot but is now having second thoughts.

It seems like we're all expected to participate in every social media platform that comes along. What if we don't participate and it ends up being the next big thing? What if we're missing out on marketing to new clients? In this episode of Picture This! Photography Podcast, Tony and Chelsea talk about each social media platform, their demographics, how they can serve your business, and which one is right for you! Whether you want to be the next viral sensation or use the platform to market your business, we provide some insight!

A photographer enters a photo in a competition, wins, and then another photographer comes forward and claims they took the shot. This actually happened, and the photographer Clancy Gebler Davies was stripped of her reward. Did she deserve it? Was credit for her photo stolen or did the man who claims he took the photo actually deserve recognition? We go over the details of the story and try to figure out who deserves credit for a photo when collaboration is involved.

Been a while since you picked up your camera? You're not alone. Tony and Chelsea talk about the reasons people get photography burnout and how to find your excitement for taking photos again!
