L U C I M A | Podcast | Lions Rednecks Pirates Oh My!




























Keith and I pretty much argue the merit of social media and its effects on society, progression, and how accurate it is in its reflection of people as a whole. If it sounds like we're arguing it's because we are arguing. We don't just talk about lions, rednecks, and pirates. We talk about guns, transsexuals, gays, religion and politics.

L U C I M A | Podcast | The Boat and the Model (part III) / The Human Element / Conclusions





I was originally going to title this podcast, "Robots, Dreams and Self-Discovery" but I realized that this conversation was an extension of the previous two podcasts and should therefore be part of the series.
In this podcast we use elements of Ex Machina to explore the human element of model photography and dig deeper into the self-discovery for photographers and why I couldn't do this without live models.

L U C I M A | Podcast | The Boat and the Model (part II) / Is Talking Really Necessary?






The followup to the Boat and the Model. I give Keith a complete analysis of my shoot and what I just learned. Is small-talk really necessary? Could I get better pictures without having to engage in small-talk with the model? What would happen if I didn't talk to the model at all?

L U C I M A | Podcast | Fashion Nudity




Keith asks me questions regarding fashion nudity vs. glamour and what they mean for photographers. If I sound slightly annoyed, you're not imagining things.
We reference the profile picture in podcast but unfortunately it's cropped as a square here. Here's the original image:https://instagram.com/p/490NUREwsV/?taken-by=charleslucima

L U C I M A | Podcast | Expectations




























Keith was talking through his presentation notes for the Working with Modeling Agencies Workshop. He suggested that photographers discuss with modeling agents the possibility of submitting their test images to magazines. That got us talking about setting precedents and expectations. The conversation picks up midstream.
