In this episode of Camera Shake Podcast, we sit down with Rick Sammon—often called the Godfather of Photography—to unpack a lifetime of image-making. From his early underwater adventures to wildlife, travel, and people photography, Rick shares practical lessons that will elevate your work today. We dig into composition, light, timing, and the mindset shifts that help you create rather than just take pictures. You’ll hear field-tested tips for bird and wildlife photography, how to connect with people on the road, and where iPhone photography fits into a pro’s toolkit. We also discuss staying inspired, building a sustainable photography career, and adapting to new tech (yes, even AI) without losing your voice.👉 Subscribe for more weekly episodes covering Photoshop, photography, creative business, and the future of imaging.New episodes every Thursday.#photography #RickSammon #CameraShakePodcast******************************************************************SUPPORT THE PODCAST: www.buymeacoffee.com/camerashake******************************************************************JOIN THE CAMERA SHAKE COMMUNITY for the latest news and some behind the scenes insights: www.camerashakepodcast.com******************************************************************Check out our sponsor: www.platypod.com******************************************************************THIS WEEK’S LINKS:Rick Sammon on the web:https://ricksammon.comRick Sammon on Social Media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rick.sammonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ricksammonphotography/JOIN THE CAMERA SHAKE COMMUNITY for the latest news and some behind the scenes insights: www.camerashakepodcast.com======================================CAMERA SHAKE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE:https://www.youtube.com/camerashakeFULL EPISODE 276 ‘Lessons from the Godfather of Photography with RICK SAMMON’ IS ALSO AVAILABLE ON: YouTube - https://youtu.be/frCEvQLHxZoApple Podcasts - https://apple.co/2Y2LmfmSpotify - https://spoti.fi/304sm2G FOLLOW US ONInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/camerashakepodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/camerashakepodcastTwitter: https://twitter.com/ShakeCameraKersten’s website:www.kerstenluts.comKersten on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/kerstenluts/https://www.instagram.com/threeheadsinarow/
