Sean Bagshaw

Chris is joined by Sean Bagshaw, who was at Out of Oregon and will join us again for Out of Acadia in 2020. They discuss everything there is to know about Luminosity Masks, including why someone may want to use them and how to avoid going too far in post-processing.    Speaking of post-processing, the two chat about replacing skies, one-click photo post processing apps, and why they both prefer to get granular in their editing.     Before becoming a photographer, Sean was a middle school science teacher. He shares how this experience has made him a better teacher in his own workshops and online education courses -- the latter of which is his main income stream.    To follow Sean online, visit OutdoorExposurePhoto.com, PhotoCascadia.com, and on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

John Kosmopoulos

John Kosmopoulos joins Chris for a free-wheeling discussion on developing your own style of photography, and what makes his work different from others.     John also shares how he experiments with color, how he decides what will be monochrome, and a trick involving a black and white adjustment layer. He explains how he guides a viewer's eye around an image, what happened to spending a long time looking at a photograph, and we hear his thoughts on galleries.    John shoots in both nature and urban landscapes. Chris asks him if the  environments feel similar to work in, as well as his favorite urban cities and how he captured one of his most well-known photographs, "Dreamwalking".

John Kosmopoulos on Developing Your Own Style

In this episode of the Out of Chicago Podcast, we talk to Chris Nicholson, author of Photographing National Parks, about what to expect when shooting the great outdoors, how to prepare and what to bring. He also discusses some of  his favorite and most-visited national parks. Nicholson, from Astoria, Queens (N.Y.), started visiting national parks with his family when he was just 1-year-old. He’s been visiting ever since, being published in over 30 magazines and books. He’s photographed Arcadia, the Everglades, Grand Teton, Great Smoky Mountains, Olympic, Shenandoah and Yellowstone parks a combined 26 times, and has visited roughly half of the 59 national parks. Chris is currently working on a project called “National Parks at Night,” with four other photographers, where he hosts photography workshops at five national parks per year — only once. His book, Photographing National Parks, was released in late summer 2015, and is available for purchase on Amazon. You can learn more about Chris at photographingnationalparks.com.

He also discusses some of  his favorite and most-visited national parks. Nicholson, from Astoria, Queens (N.Y.), started visiting national parks with his family when he was just 1-year-old. He’s been visiting ever since, being published in over 30 magazines and books.
