LensFlare 35 is a weekly show brought to you by Dave Warner. This week, Dave interviews sports photographer Dave Black . As a freelance photographer for over 30 years Dave’s work has primarily centered on the sports industry including coverage of 12 Olympic Games, the Masters, Kentucky Derby, Daytona 500, and the NFL and NCAA championships. He has worked on assignment for such publications as Sports Illustrated, Time, and Newsweek. Known for his creative use of lighting and in particular with the artistic technique of light painting, Dave’s portfolio continues to broaden with work in the commercial and advertising industry, and with specialized lighting projects including work for the National Geographic and their book Where Valor Rests, Arlington National Cemetery.

In this episode, Dave talks about his style of photography, his ‘hard-core’ approach to speed lighting, the turning point in his career, his Workshop at the Ranch, what it takes to get THE shot, his book, lightpainting and where he would shoot if he could stay somewhere for one whole month. You’ll be as surprised at the answer as I was! We created a multi-media show of his images with an explanation of each one when you visit www.lensflare35.com.

LensFlare 35 is a weekly show brought to you by Dave Warner. Dave interviews Jay Watson and puts ALL the content in the player, including the podcast and the images video with a more conversational approach. (Editor’s Note: Once again, please forgive the poorer audio quality – I’m still trying to replace equipment from the lightning strike! However, it’s better than the last LIVE show!)

Jay specializes in lifestyle and environmental portraits of people on location. His work involves shooting for editorial, advertising, clothing, music, entertainment, industrial, and corporate clients. Elemental Magazine once wrote “he shoots the crazy sh*t,” and an early issue of Garage Magazine said “Jay came to California to raise free range artichokes.” Some of these things are true.

In this episode, Jay talks about his artistic style, tintype portraits, social media, his most challenging project, the perfect assignment, video, and whether he sees the demand for video outpacing static images in the future. We created a multi-media show of his images with an explanation of each one with the full podcast interview at www.lensflare35.com.

LensFlare 35 is a weekly show brought to you by Dave Warner. Something a little different in this week’s episode since it is our ‘one-year-anniversary’ show! Dave interviews Lan and Vu Bui and puts ALL the content online with a little bit different approach to the images section.

The Bui Brothers are photographers and cinematographers specializing in online media and promotional photography. They both started personal videoblogs in 2005 and a web show which broadcast 205 episodes through 2007.
