Ep. 7 — Close-Up Photography

In this episode, we’re getting up close and personal — literally. Close-up photography isn’t just about shoving your lens near a subject, it’s about slowing down, paying attention, and seeing details most people overlook. From textures and tiny patterns to everyday objects that turn into works of art, we’ll break down how to approach close-up shooting, what gear helps, and how to train your eye to find magic in the small stuff.

Ep. 6 — Meet Katie

In this episode, Stefan hands the mic over to Katie from the Get Out and Shoot Society. After a quick intro, Katie dives into how training your brain is just as important as training your photographer’s eye. From spotting details others miss to thinking creatively under pressure, she breaks down the mental habits that can sharpen your photography skills and change the way you see the world.

Ep. 5 — Edit and Choose Your Own

This one’s a quickie—because I’ve been testing out AI voice tech. Yep, that weird voice that sounds like me, but not exactly like me?? That’s “AI Stefan.” Let me know in the comments if you vibe with it or if I should toss it into the digital trash and go back to doing it the long way.

This one’s about editing your own damn photos. Not just for the sake of “efficiency” or whatever trend-chasing excuse is hot this week—but because you should be the one choosing what represents your art. The second you hand over that power to some social media content producer who's picking your shots based on what’ll perform for profit, you’ve already lost the plot.

This is your work. Your eye. Your voice. So why the hell would you let someone else pick the story you’re telling?

Ep. 4 — Will AI Replace Us?

Will AI Replace Us? Let’s talk about it.

AI is everywhere right now... filling feeds with fake photos, spitting out perfect lighting, and freaking out every creative who’s ever poured their soul into a shoot. So… is it going to replace photographers?

Hell f***ing no.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why real photography still matters and why AI, no matter how advanced, can’t replicate us... let alone replace us. We’re talking real-world experience, the obsession with craft, and that human touch you just can’t fake. So, if you’ve ever looked at an AI-generated image and thought, “Okay but... it feels empty,” this one’s for you.

Ep. 3 — Stop Doing This

This episode is part vent session, part creative therapy—and 100% real talk. I’m breaking down 10 things photographers seriously need to quit doing: overediting skin into plastic, copy-paste presets, cringey luxury bios, glowing demon eyes (yep), and more.

Whether you’re new to the game or a seasoned shooter sick of the same recycled trends, this one’s for you. If it stings a little, good—that means it’s working.

Hit play, then send me your own pet peeves… I just might roast them in Part Two.

Ep. 2 – Gatekeeping

Let’s be real—gatekeeping sucks. It shuts people out, creates elitist spaces, and makes creatives feel like they have to prove themselves just to belong. In this episode, I talk about how that mentality holds photographers back, and why this club was built to be the exact opposite of that.

We're not here to intimidate or exclude—we're here to uplift, support, and grow. That’s what makes this space different. Everyone starts somewhere, and everyone deserves a place to learn without judgment or ego in the way.

If you’ve ever felt like the photo world wasn’t made for you, this one’s for you. Let’s tear the gate down and keep building something better.
