Facebook and Instagram, went down today and I was like, “my site is still up”. So I thought I’d share these 3 videos of varying lengths on 3 different topics to boost our creativity and understanding of photography in everything from light to our roots. I Hope you guys find something useful here. If you do share it on Facebook.. oh wait…
It’s no secret we love using video to convey our message here at Seim Effects. From a marketing perspective we’ve learned that nothing sells products like video does. From an education perspective we’ve learned that nothing is more flexible to learn from than video. So we keep doing more of it and encourage others to do the same.
This has been on the menu for some time, but we finally made the Seim Effects promo. It’s a homepage introduction that we believe every company should have. In our case it tells a bit about what we do here at Seim Effects, how we work and why our product and service is unique. It has a little fun along the way too.
Seim Studios actually just started a spinoff compact that will focus entirely on filmmaking for our own projects as well as yours. It’s called Opera Chicken Films. We also just picked up the new Canon C100 Cinema Camera and are really ramping up production for our new projects. It’s going to be an exciting journey. You can learn more about these new projects on the Opera Chicken website.
On this shorter episode Gavin takes a look at what he learned with another month on the road. A discussion of 4×5 film, a look at learning and working conceptually, and a little practice session on evil laughs.
I’m talking a bit today about photography competitions. Whether you’re a pro or enthusiast, competition will really challenge you to raise the bar. At some you can win cash and at other you can get merits, trophies and even earn industry recognized photography degrees from PPA.
You can find the forum discussion for this episode on the forum thread. Go share your experiences.. Gav

Photo Couch is the companion podcast of Gavin’s f164 project. Sort of an audio journal. Nothing fancy here. Just short musings, tips and thoughts on photography. You can listen below, or subscribe for free and get all the latest episodes. If you want more you can also check out Gavin full podcast, Pro Photo Show.
On this roundtable we go LIVE with listeners in the chatroom and calling in. There were a few glitches but for a first live show it came off well. Lots of business talk in this one so if you don’t want to hear about things like Facebook marketing, use the time indexes below to skip segments.
NOTE: Due to a double link the feed iTunes was pulling the previous episode for the first hour or so. If this happened to you, delete the redundant episode. Then right click Pro Photo Show in your podcast list and choose “Show All Podcast Episodes”. #76 will show up again and should be the updated file when you re-download.
