Has the ability to Photoshop images become too easy? At what point during manipulating a photo does it stop being a photo and become a digital work? What are the ethical ramifications of AI image and video editing software that makes it possible to create deep fakes or entirely new "people" who don't actually exist? I talk with Photoshop tutor and digital artist, Andrew Kavanagh to explore these questions and more.

On this very funny episode of The Nerdy Photographer Podcast, Steven Van Elk from the Wedding Photo Hangover Podcast drops by to discuss photo industry 'code words'. Code words? What code words? The photo industry has code words? You know, the things that photographers and people in the industry like to say when they really mean something else. For example, when photographers use the term "unphotogenic" to describe subjects they personally don't think are attractive. Or terms like "challenging" or *shudder* "vibes"...

Backing up your photos should always be a priority, and in recent years, more and more cloud photo storage options have become available to photographers. But are they all worth the money? In this micro episode (nerdlet) of The Nerdy Photographer Podcast, I explore a variety of cloud photo storage options, their pros and cons, and whether you can use them for more than just backing up your pictures. Because, in this age of connectivity, having some versatility in your storage is also a must.

Have you ever felt like you could be doing more to give back to the community you live in? Perhaps through your photography? In this episode of The Nerdy Photographer Podcast, I speak with Connecticut photographer, Lindsey Turner, about working with charities and non-profits. And working with these organizations does not just mean donating your time and services for free. You can work with organizations who pay you just like a corporate client, it is just that they are a non-profit organization.

Whether you're shooting landscapes, doing light painting, or creating digital art, the three tips in this micro episode will help you create better images. And it takes no time at all, just under five minutes! What are you waiting for? Tripod Recommendations: Good tripod/monopod combo from Neewer for around $70 or you can go with a more heavy duty model from Manfrotto for $300. Remote Triggers: I use CamRanger as my remote camera trigger, but you can get similar triggers from Case Air, Pluto, and Arsenal.

About My Guest "I moved to Chicago when I was 18 years old and started exploring my opportunities in the creative field. I didn't know anyone so I knew it was the perfect opportunity to reinvent myself! As I continued my career in photography in a foreign country, many different opportunities started arising! One of the most important ones in my career, so far, was the Front Porch Project during the pandemic lockdown in 2020. I took this opportunity and created a project that, to this day, continues to create opportunities! I am happily married to my husband Travis and we are expecting our first child together. I will experience motherhood behind the lens and get creative to document each and every milestone in my child's growth. I am an advocate of documenting milestones and printing them out; there is nothing like a printed picture. I continue to explore life creatively and offer my talent to non-profits as well as in a professional level." You can also follow Jackie on Facebook and Instagram.

Camera lens filters? What are they? What do you use them for? The most important thing to remember is that whatever filter you get, DO NOT GO CHEAP! Putting cheap glass (or plastic) between your lens and your subject just defeats the purpose of trying to take a better photo.
