Following photographer Rik Williams during a Glam Nude Shoot feat. model Tasha Lancaster. Incl. an on-set interview and a comprehensive talk about Rik´s approach and experience.
Sitting down with photographer (+SWP author) Gary Chambers from Lime Imagery talking about the business aspects and marketing strategies for running a portraiture studio, offering cross-genre styles including glamour & boudoir.
My recap, aftermath and drive for new adventures outside my comfort zone.

One of your most endearing character traits is that you are totally honest about yourself (“I am an introvert at heart”). More than anything else, this makes your presence in your videos very refreshing.
Hello Allen, Thanks (*blush.LOL*). Lowering expectations right in the beginning is always (well, sometimes) a good strategy. Besides kidding: I really am a very well not-good-first-time connector and shy. The videos I produce here in my little bubble are totally convenient; it is just me and the cam (and sometimes the team I already know for ages). So talking in the cam (despite I hate that too; but I formed the habit to look at myself as a third person in theses cases) and not directly to the audience in person makes it easy for me to do so.

Great job Dan. It would be very interesting to see final images made by Rik Williams from a balcony. So much distractions on a background made me wonder how the final images would look like.
Thanks, Semyon! I have seen some Balcony images (Rik) on his back screen. Looked amazing for what the location was a burden of. I will publish the results here on SWP along the video documentary once ready. You will be astound.

Hey Dan!
Thanks for sharing with us your amazing adventures in Australia!!! It’s nice to know that photographers all around the world are open to share their knowledge and time, and show their work for all of us to lear something new every day…
I hope we can setup something in the near future for Colombia, my home country!!!
Hello Andresmutis, Thanks for watching and commenting! The photographer (artist) community is an open, easy-going and smart one. Of course I was positively surprised about how much they “let me in” but on the other hand it confirmed that we all belong together, even if we (seem) to be competitors every now and then. I guess it is like always about the people – of course there are shooters that are narrow minded but those are the ones whose work is plain shitty and totally irrelevant. Creative minds are filled with esprit and openness 🙂 Colombia (South America): Sounds basically… Read more »
Glad to see that made it home all in one piece! It was fun following your journey and I look forward to seeing more of the work product in future postings on SWP!
“Back in one piece”: Yes I am really astonished that everything went sooooo smoooooth. It could have turned into a nightmare every now and then. But nope, somebody gracious to us 🙂
More soon!
Cheers, Dan

Dear Dan
The whole Australia post is just amazing. I was down under too, just two weeks before you! I loved it so much too!
Liebä Dan,
Dini Australie posts sind eifach dä Hammer! I bin grad zwei Wuche vor dir in Down Under gsi! Es isch fantastisch gsi!
Hello Pushi, thanks for commenting and watching (or the other way around 🙂 ).
I hope you enjoyed Oz as much as I did. The time there was just too short = too many actions, no private life; but I will be for sure back there; next time with some more leisure time planned.
Wünsche Dir äs guets Wuchenändi und danke für following mi Blog.
Liebi Grüess vo Prag, Dan
