   TPX30: Michelle Szpak – The business of motorcycle and automotive photography

   Michelle Szpak of www.szpak.co.uk (https://szpak.co.uk/) has been shooting for over 15 years and specialises in motorcycle and automotive photography. Not the classifieds type of car and bike phots, what Michelle creates are special, incredibly lit art pieces for her clients. Her byline reads… Unique, passion-fuelled professional Automotive photography of your pride and joy. Creating Artwork for your Walls that last a lifetime. But it hasn't always been all about incredible images of beautiful motorcycles and fancy cars! Michelle started with the idea of being a landscape and animal photographer before moving on to portraits – that was 12 years ago. Then in 2013, she photographed her first motorcycle, and automotive photography has been the focus since. The images our guest creates are works of art that require a fantastic imagination, expert lighting skills and an understanding of composition any photographer would die for. You might be surprised at the lighting she uses to showcase the cars and bikes (examples below). Michelle shares techniques and more, including the business and sales side of her photography, in this interview. Big thanks to ImagenAI (https://www.imagen-ai.com/?utm_source=photobizx&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=august) for sponsoring and making this episode possible. If you'd love to have your post-processing after every shoot done for you – in minutes and at super affordable costs (around 5c/image) you need to take a look at ImagenAI. Here’s some of what we cover: What is your big takeaway? Following this interview, I’d love to read your feedback and comments. Was there something from this interview that struck a chord, inspired or motivated you? Will you take any kind of action after hearing what Michelle had to share? I've learned to be very confident with how much I charge for this because it's a very heavy process so I'm not scared of saying the price. – Michelle Szpak Let me know by leaving your thoughts in the comments below. If you have any questions that I missed, a specific question you’d like to ask Michelle or if you just want to say thanks for coming on the show, feel free to add them below too. I look at a vehicle a bit like a boudoir photographer would look a female body. – Michelle Szpak If you understand light, you can create anything you want. – Michelle Szpak Covid forced me to realize that if I take a day off the world does not fall apart. – Michelle Szpak Links to people, places and things mentioned in this episode: Michelle Szpak Website (https://szpak.co.uk/) Michelle Szpak on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/szpakbiker/) Michelle Szpak on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/SzpakBiker) Michelle Szpak on 500px (https://500px.com/p/Szpakbiker) Free Photography Mindset Worskhop (https://photographersmindset.com) Loxley Colour (https://www.loxleycolour.com/) Basics of Motorcycle Photography with Michelle Szpak (https://www.facebook.com/LoxleyColour/videos/705866706797163/) – Facebook Live video Thank you!

   TPX29: Ashley Jones – Love not lost through meaningful photography

   Ashley Jones is the driving force behind Love Not Lost (https://lovenotlost.org/) – an organisation supporting people in grief and helping people heal by connecting portrait photographers with families facing a terminal diagnosis. Ashley, through Love Not Lost, is on a mission to revolutionise the way we heal in grief by preserving memories for those they love – at no cost to them. Ashley and her husband have endured this same grief when they lost their beautiful daughter, Skylar. Their friends gifted them a portrait session to help preserve her memories. At the time, Ashley didn't realise how powerful these photos would become. They gave her a way to hold onto her baby girl.
