Camera Shake Photography Podcast

Step inside Origin Studios with award-winning photographer Ian Boichat for a candid conversation about dog photography, creative studio work and building a sustainable photography business.
Ian reveals how he developed his distinctive painterly and colourful pet portraits, why patience matters more than speed, and how he reads canine behaviour to capture genuine character. We explore practical studio photography techniques, from preparing the lighting before a dog enters the set to photographing black fur, energetic puppies and multiple dogs together.
This episode also goes beyond camera gear. Ian explains why the client experience is part of the finished artwork, how a purpose-built photography studio became a competitive advantage, and what changes when a personal pet portrait becomes a commercial photography campaign. He also shares honest advice about pricing, editing, marketing and the realities of working as a professional photographer.
Alongside the interview, a studio tour takes you behind the scenes of the sets, modifiers, props and spaces that make Origin Studios a flexible environment for photography and videography.

AI changed photography. Are photographers still needed—or does the human behind the camera matter more than ever?
In this episode of Camera Shake, Kersten Luts welcomes back director, photographer and digital imaging specialist Micah Burke to take an honest look at the state of AI in photography. Four years after their first conversation, generative AI has moved from novelty to production tool, reshaping photo editing, retouching, compositing, graphic design and AI video.
Micah shares workflows using Adobe Photoshop, Firefly, Stable Diffusion and generative video, while revealing where AI saves time—and where it creates extra work. They explore client expectations, brand consistency, copyright, computational photography and whether AI belongs inside cameras.
The conversation also asks the bigger questions: Can we still trust an image? Will Photoshop and photography skills become more valuable? What can a human photographer offer that a generator cannot? And where are opportunities for anyone building a photography business?
If you’re an amateur photographer, working professional, videographer or creative business owner, this thoughtful, funny and practical discussion will help you understand what is changing and how to adapt. Subscribe to Camera Shake for more honest conversations, and revisit Micah’s 2022 episode to see how quickly the future arrived.

Are better cameras making photography worse? In this episode of the Camera Shake Photography Podcast, Kersten Luts sits down with technology broadcaster, consumer champion and Photography & Video Show Podcast host David McClelland to explore how modern camera technology is reshaping photography and videography.

From smartphones and computational photography to mirrorless cameras, compact point-and-shoots and hybrid photo-video workflows, David examines whether increasingly powerful tools are helping photographers become more creative—or simply making technically polished images easier to produce. The conversation also looks at why smartphones have transformed image-making, why camera manufacturers still struggle with connectivity, how social media is changing visual storytelling, and why limitations can sometimes lead to stronger photographs.
David shares stories from his career in television, technology journalism and self-shooting production, including filming with early iPhones, working with professional camera systems and adapting to smaller tools such as the DJI Osmo Pocket.
Whether you are an amateur photographer, professional image-maker, videographer or content creator, this thoughtful conversation will help you separate genuinely useful technology from distracting specifications and gear obsession.
Subscribe to Camera Shake for more photography advice, creative conversations and practical insight into the photography business.
Then watch another episode featuring leading photographers and creative industry experts.

After 25 years of Photoshop, which skills still matter—and which are being replaced by artificial intelligence?
In this episode of The Camera Shake Podcast, Kersten Luts sits down with PhotoshopCAFE founder Colin Smith for a wide-ranging conversation about Photoshop, photography, generative AI and the future of visual creativity. Colin explains why AI is an incredibly useful assistant, but still cannot replace taste, observation, judgement or a clear creative vision.
They explore how Photoshop has evolved from its earliest days, why layers transformed digital image editing, and how automated masking, Generative Fill and AI retouching are changing professional photography workflows. Colin also shares the story behind PhotoshopCAFE, his approach to online education, and how he has stayed relevant through books, courses, YouTube and constant changes in creative technology.
The conversation covers photo retouching, non-destructive editing, copyright, authenticity, creative limitations, computational photography and the future of cameras. It also offers practical insight for photographers, videographers and anyone building a photography business in a fast-changing industry.
Most importantly, Colin explains why craftsmanship may become more valuable again.

Jerry Ghionis: How to Pose Anyone is a practical, thought-provoking conversation about creating portrait photography that feels natural, flattering and genuinely meaningful.
World-renowned portrait and wedding photographer Jerry Ghionis joins Kersten Luts to explain why great posing begins long before a client steps in front of the camera. Jerry explores how trust, empathy and clear direction help nervous clients relax, and why photographers should build a pose carefully before using emotion to make it feel real.
You’ll learn Jerry’s five-step approach—light, location, pose, technique and emotion—along with actionable posing tips for faces, hands, body language, couples and everyday people who are not professional models. He also discusses portrait lighting, client communication, confidence, creative growth, social media trends and the value of mastering your craft through practice and failure.
Whether you shoot headshots, weddings, branding photography, fashion, video, or are building a photography business, this episode offers useful photography advice you can apply on your next shoot. It is equally valuable for photographers and videographers who want stronger on-camera direction and more authentic expressions.
