We've all heard someone say a photographer isn't a REAL photographer. But what really makes a "real" photographer? Is it the gear, income, experience, or something else? Tony an Chelsea have fun reviewing the insults thrown at "fake photographers" and try to define their own idea of what makes a real photographer.

It seems like we're all expected to participate in every social media platform that comes along. What if we don't participate and it ends up being the next big thing? What if we're missing out on marketing to new clients? In this episode of Picture This! Photography Podcast, Tony and Chelsea talk about each social media platform, their demographics, how they can serve your business, and which one is right for you! Whether you want to be the next viral sensation or use the platform to market your business, we provide some insight!

A photographer enters a photo in a competition, wins, and then another photographer comes forward and claims they took the shot. This actually happened, and the photographer Clancy Gebler Davies was stripped of her reward. Did she deserve it? Was credit for her photo stolen or did the man who claims he took the photo actually deserve recognition? We go over the details of the story and try to figure out who deserves credit for a photo when collaboration is involved.
