003: Michael Garlington | Photographer In Focus

1h 12m · Photographer In Focus Podcast · 23 Aug 22:36

Today, we have Michael Garlington on the Photographer In Focus show. He shares his journey of becoming a true working photographic artist, and the how and why he calls himself an "artist" rather than a "photographer." 

 

Michael is one of the artist that bring the world class large scale art pieces to Burning Man in the Black Rock Desert. 

 

If you know some of the art from the playa, he brought us 2012's EGO and 2013's PhotoChapel both ceremoniously burned to the ground. 

 

We explore Mike's journey from learning how he became such a prolific Black and White photographic printer, to how he attracted his subjects for portraits by creating a moving billboard of his work and driving across America. 

 

There is so much in this, I can't wait to share it with you!

008: Trey Ratcliff | Photographer In Focus

Trey Ratcliff is probably the most viewed photographer online.

 

He championed post processing and HDR photography. 

 

Using Google, Facebook and Pinterest to get the world out of his photography Stuck In Customs empire, we will hear from Trey about the creative environment of Burning Man and his Master Apprentice teaching system the Arcanum but I’m going to do it a little different. 

 

I know that a lot of people have seen Treys work. In fact he has 44 Billion views on Google Plus alone, I know of no other human being with so many views. It boggles my mind. Even Lady Gaga with 9 million circles has 200 million views.
