Hey, you are listening to the Everything Is BS podcast with Chris Stiles and Brooke Brady.
Speaker 2:In an age where social media trends trump realism, two photographers chat about the beautiful events they photograph and the push to capture real moments over the picture perfect trendy day.
Speaker 1:We want to discuss how people view perfectionism and chat about encouraging a more authentic and genuine experience.
Speaker 2:So, whether you're driving, working, editing photos or just looking for a quick escape, pull up a virtual chair to our coffee table chat. We'd love to have you.
Speaker 1:But some cool tech you have to keep up with and change with as we continue to move into the world of AI and you hear over and over again and a lot of artists that listen to this and creatives, you know, hate that word I will always say that you should just at least, at the bare minimum, be aware what's what's going on, so that you don't get caught in a world that's so far ahead that you can't catch up.
Speaker 2:I just saw you post something that you used AI for something.
Speaker 1:I did. It was a real good hit too. So I'm very careful about what I add to my wedding photography business that is technologically geeky or something because it can feel gimmicky. Yeah, perfect. Full circle here. Whether Nikki, it has to make sense, has to make sense and actually provide some form of value. A product that I went to a photography conference earlier this year, one on their exhibit floor was shown a product and I was like, wow, that's really cool, like I was trying to envision different ways you could use that And I was like, yeah, i could absolutely see this being a thing, especially with Gen Z and younger, as just the concept of fast, fast fast.
Speaker 2:What is it You can tell me?
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's really cool. So that actually that's the mount for it over there, as I'm pointing to my like shelf desk thing over there. So what it is is it gives the ability to it's really going to be for, like the reception. It gives the ability to tether my iPhone to my camera. So there's a that's what that mount is over there, it's the bracket, so I have it too. The iPhone like hangs on the side actually, so it's, and then it's corded to the phone. So my camera now has a cord connected, my professional camera to my iPhone. There's a special, there's a company that's created a special software and app That you have to pay the license for, and what it does is a couple things. First thing it does is when I take a photo, it moves the photo because I'm tethered to my iPhone, to the app. So the photo file, which you have to have it set to a JPEG, it's sent over to the app. You immediately see it Once it's in the app, it immediately uploads to a gallery.
Speaker 2:But in your camera it's still raw.
Speaker 1:And my camera. You can set a raw and a JPEG and then have it send the JPEG. So it's still. You can have the raw file, but for the for the software, it needs to be the JPEG. So you send the JPEG over, goes to a gallery online, immediately uploads. Once you're there, i can just click on the photo and I'm hoping that someone's face is going to be on the photo. I can click on the face that I want to click on And I'm going to ask the guest to type in their phone number or email and they do that And two things happen The photo gets sent to their phone so they have a link to this gallery now. But the best part about this this is the magic is that this is where AI comes in for the rest of the night. Anytime I snap a photo of that person, it recognizes their face and automatically I'm out.
Speaker 2:No, i cannot, I can't. That's so creepy. No, i would never give you my phone number.
Speaker 1:So the the wedding show I just did was kind of a test to see what people's reactions were going to be. I was in a pretty varied crowd. I had, you know, i had fries with their moms. I had couples I had probably in the age range of young, like was like 23, 24, all the way up to a couple that was probably in their like upper thirties. I would say that was the range of couples. I told Kelly like I probably spoke with 20 to 25 different couples. Um, i'd say 80% of them were genuine. Wow, that's really cool reactions, like an out loud saying, like if I could actually have the quote, i would love that on my dance floor.
Speaker 2:But are your edits on them?
Speaker 1:Your edits are not on them. So what I would do is there'd have to be a special little assumption. It's basically the way you advertise this. This is a. it's a mobile photo booth. That's essentially what it is, so the photo isn't getting edited either. if it was just a photo booth company, so what I need but what I need is a a second shooter would handle this. I would still be the primary photographer taking photos on the dance floor that would be delivered in their final gallery.
Speaker 1:These would just be extra one offs, so they're paying for an add on to basically have your guests just have a fun dance photo that they can get on their phone. And maybe I'm not going to have my second shooter go boom, boom, boom, shoot a million times. It's going to be a learning curve where they're going to be very careful about their shots, like dance move someone looking at the camera one click.
Speaker 2:You know what I could see that doing, though. First of all, it's creepy shit. I don't like it. I don't want AI to figure out what my face looks like and send me all the photos ever.
Speaker 1:I don't want AI in my house and you got Alexa in your house and you're fine with that.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, yes, All right, yes, but.
Speaker 1:You're safe here, Brooke.
Speaker 2:We got no Alexa's, we got our phones.
Speaker 1:So we're done anyway.
Speaker 2:So, number one Will they like, like, do they? are you tied to it in any way?
Speaker 1:Like it does it say like styles on the bottom. You can do whatever you want. You can have a white label, your label, or you could not. That solves that problem.
Speaker 2:Even though it doesn't have your edits on it, so it's not your true work, which, like to me, i don't want to take photos of people just dancing and have like the auto thing to me is a little scary, because what if I take a shit photo and I'm like and it just goes straight to their phone? There's that. I don't want them to receive bad photos of themselves and be like ew what the hell you know? Yep And have my watermark on it.
Speaker 1:That's well. this is where it's there, Like if it's an actual, like, just terrible, you know, face squished in, not a great photo. the good thing is that each guest is only getting their own photos, so it's not like there's a full gallery that all the guests are seeing at once, But you don't get to go through and go.
Speaker 2:OK, these are.
Speaker 1:You can, at the end, go through and pick and choose which ones actually get delivered. So, at the end. I'm not the bride and groomer not getting them until you submit it. And I had, i would have access to the whole gallery beforehand.
Speaker 2:So it's not automatically like I'm not. It's like snap, snap And then it's just like boom goes right to your phone. It's not doing that on the dance floor, where like It can, it can do that.
Speaker 1:That's kind of.
Speaker 1:The benefit is that your guests are getting live photos of, and they're, generally speaking, going to be better than an iPhone because you have a flash attached to your camera, of course, but if it's shitty I just wouldn't want for like if it's, if it's not good, then the guest will they have their own private gallery, like it's just because I've only tagged them and it's tied to that phone number email, so it's not like another, it's not like all the guests will see that photo, just that guess will get that photo And at the end, when the bride and groom get all of the If that's what you want to do, you don't even have to do that. You don't have to offer that. Yeah, if you just want it to be a live guest, get their photos And then that's it.
Speaker 2:I think I would almost prefer to like Ask people for their phone numbers and stuff, do the, do the face thing, and then at the end of the night, when I'm done, i can quickly go through and go oh, that was a mess up, that was a mess up.
Speaker 1:And then they just get bulk photos sent out. You can absolutely do that too.
Speaker 2:OK, Number two what if there's twins?
Speaker 1:So I didn't even think of that. That's a good point. Well then I would go to assume that they understand that The tech is maybe not there, and then, or just tell them. I would literally, in the dance floor, be like wow, you're so ignorant.
Speaker 2:You sent me photos of my fist Yeah. Number three. That's a funny question, i'm just saying No, these are the questions we need.
Speaker 1:Yeah, i should submit it to them right now.
Speaker 2:What do we do if?
Speaker 1:there's one. What do we do if there's twins?
Speaker 2:Oh my god, i had another. Really really good morning.
Speaker 1:Well, you're thinking of that, Yeah, so ultimately, it's no matter what. In any instance, i have an open mind to at least give it a trial run, see how the market likes it If it. if it's a flop and people are like this is a terrible photo, what I would actually be doing is branding these photos. That's a photography styles on them, but I would brand it with something like photography styles And then like a special other, like spot my photo, like the company's called spot my photos. So it'd be like photography styles and spot my photo. So they know it's a. This is a separate thing, yeah, so if anyone ever shared it, that's OK.
Speaker 2:It would be cool if you could like upload a filter to them before they go.
Speaker 1:I'm sure that something you can do.
Speaker 2:I just don't think you can do it now Because I was going to say like if you could take like if all those photos that you took didn't exactly have your editing, because obviously you don't have the time when you're on the dance floor, But if it could do like a you know a polaroid point?
Speaker 2:Yeah, Yeah, but if it could like throw a polaroid filter onto it or something where it's like a little bit more vibey, and it's not just like natural straight from the camera, like that would make me feel a little more better.
Speaker 1:It's a, i mean I'm going to go to say that it's still in a like startup phase company. So it's something they would, i'm sure, if they don't have it already and I just missed it, but I don't, i don't think so. Yeah, that would. I mean it's going to be requested, i can send the request and they could work on that, because there's a, there's a, a photo booth that I also offer.
Speaker 1:That's just like a small it's more economical photo booth. It's basically a ring light with a camera in it And you can just place it anywhere and just let it go And it makes gifts. That's what's fun about it. So, like people doing like this So fun Yeah, it's just a cute way of doing it, and those have it's been interesting to look back at like the Facebook group, for if you're part of this company, and like from when they started, and like the people bringing in requests that are part of the group And like they didn't have, they didn't use to have filters and now they have filters. So like you can do like sepia, black and white, you can do like all sorts of different things, so you can make overlays, you can do where it says, like the person's wedding, so forth.
Speaker 2:So so what? if so? just thinking about, like worst case scenario here, what if you took these photos? Yep, and they're the bridesmaids and they're getting shot out to the bridesmaids whose faces are in them? Sure, but the but? the bride and the groom are doing something embarrassing in the back. And now, all of a sudden, your bride is like I don't want those photos to be online And like the girls don't even notice that they're in the back and doing this thing, or maybe for some reason, the bride's dress came up a little too hot, like I'm just thinking about, like the bride cause to me. I'm like okay, i generally like I'll post things that I know are okay with the bride in the groom, but if there's a question about it, This would be expectations, so there's two ways to handle this.
Speaker 1:I know exactly what you're saying. It's all part of the risk Cause like how embarrassing would that?
Speaker 2:be for the bride of like. The first photos that she's tagged in from her wedding night are embarrassing ones of her that she didn't even have access to.
Speaker 1:So I'm going to go to guess. Then, if the bride is actually very concerned about this, this would potentially not be the product for them.
Speaker 2:Okay, and you asked them before like you like. ask them like are you interested in the AI thing?
Speaker 1:I don't even have anyone having this yet. This is like I literally showcased it on the floor. Finished the, i got the product final pieces in the mail a few days ago. So, yeah, it is brand new.
Speaker 2:So I'm just, I'm the person that's like, wow, No but you need to.
Speaker 1:You need to do that, so and make sure that all the so in the contract and in the conversations ahead of time it will be. These are not your, your premium edits. These are this is meant to be a mobile photo booth. This is just. But what you're getting out of this is a professional photographer who, more often than not, is going to take a photo that's going to look really good on the dance floor, versus just an iPhone, or your people can put their iPhones away and we got you covered.
Speaker 2:So they can opt into automatically sending, or you get to look through them at the end of the night before they're set.
Speaker 1:The option say like you know, one of the benefits to this is people, your guests are getting the photos live like as it happens which, with that being said, my photographers who are going to do this are going to be trained in picking and choosing which photos to take carefully Like maybe checking in every 30 minutes and looking at what they got and sending it out.
Speaker 1:This is. It's like live news, it's like live anything. When you are in the realm of live, you just have to know that there's a risk, that you know we're not going to be in the bathroom taking photos Like something you know ridiculous, but it's more of a. If something were to be caught and happen, you know we can remove it from the gallery. That's.
Speaker 2:Oh, I got my question back.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry for cutting it off. Yeah, let's hear it.
Speaker 2:Okay, i know that you have probably had bridesmaids and just people in general like this. I there's always this one person who wants to be in it. Every single reception photo There. Oh, look at me, oh, look at me, oh, look at me. I'm over here.
Speaker 1:All that I'll do it, all those things.
Speaker 2:But, there's always that one person that wants to be in every single photo, every single group, every single dancing photo. Sure, if they're automatically getting the photos of themselves and they're like, wow, okay, do you anticipate that person becoming even more of a nuisance? Because it does become a nuisance when one person is just jumping into every photo And it's like this bride in the groom are not going to have any like reception photos without this one person.
Speaker 1:Yeah, i'd go to argue that they're going to do it anyway, that they're going to jump in. They've already.
Speaker 2:You don't think they would do it more? I do. It's like an instant gratification, like yeah, and then all of a sudden it's on their phone.
Speaker 1:Yep, so, but it's one of those things where you know again part of the training for whoever's going to be actually taking the photos.
Speaker 2:Use common sense If it's the same person over and over again.
Speaker 1:You can also just do the quick, like I'm going to take a photo, but I'm not actually taking a photo because it's the same person over and, over and over.
Speaker 2:What if that person expects to get it?
Speaker 1:An outgoing person is a good thing, but we want to make sure it's not obnoxious.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's not an every single photo of the bride in the groom are missing.
Speaker 1:Same rules apply, use your common sense, and if it's the same person over and over, don't take the photo.
Speaker 2:Yeah, i just don't know how you would be like excuse me, miss, you've had enough. You know, like you're cutting them off as if there was like a bar.
Speaker 1:Constantly, yeah, and then moving to the other side of the dance floor and then coming back, and I'll probably have to deal with them again, because that's what we do anyway. So but it is a good point.
Speaker 2:That's why I'm just thinking like having that like almost like a at the end of the night. You know, 20 minutes before the reception ends, your second shooter can go through and go. Ok, five per person instead of there's 30 of this person.
Speaker 1:Oh no, this is absolutely a very special training in. You have to go slow with this. This is a. You do not take a lot of photos. You see someone looking at the camera and their finger guns having a good time. Snap that photo. Yeah, If it's just a crowd or you know is a mess.
Speaker 1:Don't take the photo. So that's what I'm for. I will be on the dance floor taking those shots, trying to capture that. So this is a an event add on to give your guests something new and fun using AI. So, again, it may work, it may be a flop, i don't know, but I'm going to take that risk and we'll see how it goes.
Speaker 2:You know what you should do is you should. Don't let me tell you how to use your AI.
Speaker 1:I'm all about ideas, that's just.
Speaker 2:But when you're so, like if the add on is there and whatever, and you're like, ok, when you are taking down the phone numbers, you should have a form like a form like on the top that says five photos per person You know what I'm saying Like where it's like there is a limit to this, like you cannot just keep jumping in front of the camera and have your own photo shoot, because I could expect I could honestly see to Aunt Debbie, can you come take a family? Can you come take our Christmas card? And then all of a sudden it's five shots of the same family for a Christmas card.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's very possible.
Speaker 2:You know that too, But again, I guess it can just be so annoying.
Speaker 1:I know I'm going to go to guess that that same person would have done it anyway, because I get asked if they truly want that. But if they see it instantly and they don't like, it.
Speaker 2:they're going to come back to you and go. can you take another one? I didn't like that one. You know we're as opposed to like going home and editing it and being like you get what you get And you don't get upset Like this was not your wedding.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's a good point. Again, it'll be how many times that actually happens, And that probably will happen Yeah you're braver than me.
Speaker 2:That's not something I could implement.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, we will have a well when we continue this podcast. At the end of the wedding season, i will tell you we'll have a recap on how did this spot my photos go And you're going to just hear in the background me throwing it in the trash. So that's no.
Speaker 2:No, because if a guest was like chasing me down, like oh, I didn't like that one that you took of me and my boyfriend, Can you take another one?
Speaker 1:The film's out, the film's all gone.
Speaker 2:That's it, but it's not film because of AI And they know that bullshit, they know it's electric.
Speaker 1:It's a special film converter And it's out.
Speaker 2:That's why you've got to figure out the film filter.
Speaker 1:That would be it.
Speaker 2:That's it. We just figured it out. Oh sorry, Just figured it out.
Speaker 1:This is how it works.
Speaker 2:Oh my god, You're braver than me. I would not. I get. I love guests. Like. I'm not trying to make it sound like I'm like the biggest bitch in the whole world.
Speaker 1:But, like these are all valid questions. Yeah, the night isn't about the guests, it's a new thing, so there's going to be a lot of scenarios.
Speaker 2:And I don't want to say the night isn't about the guests because, like, the whole day is about everybody you choose to have with you on the day. But what I'm saying, i guess, is that I've had so many people just hang in front of my camera doing stupid stuff, where they're stepping in front of the bride in the groom And I'm like yo, like this is not your day, dude, but you've got to, and there's really no way for me to tell them to move out of the way besides a quick tap and like pointing like behind you are the people who matter. Come on, dude Effects. So I could just see people like chasing me around and me being like my mom here.
Speaker 1:Well, you can, i mean you could go as simple as offering and tell the second shooter to. You know, because it's only, it will only last as long as your iPhone has battery, or you can just turn it off, like a 15 minute limit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:This is you can make your own rules with this and however you want to contract it. So I just think that it's it's something new. People have a great idea, yeah.
Speaker 2:It's just people will like it is. It's an amazing idea, but you people will take advantage of it if you let them, so there has to be parameters around that, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, just got to play with it and figure it out. My and I will always lean on that. The people that will take advantage of it will take advantage of whatever I throw at them, so are they're going to try to. Those people are always going to be there, so I don't want to stop. Me from doing something that I think could be valuable.
Speaker 2:So I had a bride. They like I had a bridesmaid who in the photos you would think it was her wedding, like she. just she jumped into every photo she could And I was. Like it happens It, freaking happens Well, I felt bad for the bride, mostly Like what am I supposed to tell your best friend to like? box out Dude like this is not your wedding day, yeah, so I just, i'm like OK, if you're going to let your friend walk on you on your wedding day, like that is what it is.
Speaker 1:That's right, hey.
Speaker 2:I don't know, i don't know. I like the thing, i think it's cool. Actually, have you heard all like the weirdness about like Drake?
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, there was a viral song with his voice.
Speaker 2:What was just?
Speaker 1:Drake.
Speaker 2:I don't know Who else is there.
Speaker 1:Because there's, they're popping up now, so yeah.
Speaker 2:Well, I follow this account. That's like Kanye singing songs.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It's like Kanye singing Hey there, delilah.
Speaker 1:And it sounded real. It's good. It's good. I'm going to download it. Yeah, that's so weird.
Speaker 2:I need to hear this, Yeah no, it's a pretty good one, but it is, it's.
Speaker 1:I haven't heard any of the songs yet. I haven't, just, i just haven't gone and look, dude hold on. Well, we're going to hear this.
Speaker 2:And then That's not something.
Speaker 1:It's it's it's actually frightening because it's moving. Ai has become democratized, which means that everybody has their hands on it all these small companies and everything. So what's it's? what's cool about it is it gives this like revolution of Ideas, like really cool ideas that could be really beneficial and helpful for different things, but at the same token, it paves the way for really bad ideas and and Government and laws can't keep up with that kind of change. So I mean, i will always point back to the example of when My god Zuckerberg was on trial and You're not in trial. He was just being, he was being a questioned about the different things with Facebook, and Some of the responses from some of our elderly senators were like, wow, that's who's responsible for our government? They don't even they don't understand the basics of the internet. No, it's like oh oh boy 15, 20 years ago.
Speaker 1:But you know our entire like Amazon's e-commerce is a majority of what people buy now. So basically we have huge it. How yeah?
Speaker 2:well, i'm saying words again but, I was listening to this, to this podcast, about the Drake situation and like one of their points was like, okay, i don't care about the music, drake can go cry me a river with that shit. Yeah, whatever, yeah over Justin, but yeah, like I, he was like the thing that scares me most is that I have children who go to school, and How easy would it be for a predator to Access to my voice.
Speaker 1:Yep, oh, it's already happened. It's already been happening all the school and tell them like nope.
Speaker 2:You can release my kids like they're good to go whatever, and have somebody just pick them up. I mean, the school shouldn't release them without actually seeing a parent you know, but like it does happen and it's scary. Somebody could take my voice and Say that I said something that I didn't and it ruins my life like I'm just a little, i'm a pebble in this world, like it's not. But the people who actually do matter I hope the people who have kids to protect, like that's.
Speaker 1:Code words that you like don't share with anybody other than a room. So I we joke mean a few of my friends have said we've said this for years like if ever Tech ever got that crazy, or if, or if one of us was kidnapped, yeah, and the person on the phone Started speaking even anything remotely polite about us, we would know it's not the correct person.
Speaker 2:So my mom used to go. if anybody, if you're ever at home and you're scared and you think that somebody's outside, call me and say there's a squirrel crawling up the tree, there you go. That's what we're gonna be, Yeah well, that's why I am who I am, because my mom made me paranoid Listen, so this one has a million views, okay.
Speaker 1:Oh My gosh this is Colby.
Speaker 2:Hey, this is.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's crazy. That sounds very real.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's just, it's scary.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it is. That's that's frightening. Yeah, oh god, i need to hear this. I don't know if I would believe that one.
Speaker 2:I. Pretty good, it's pretty it almost just sounds like he recorded it over like zoom.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:It sounds like it's got like some element of like it's not perfectly clear or something like that.
Speaker 1:Feel real. Yeah, that's, that's, yeah, it's yeah. So this is where AI goes bad. This is where it's getting it is, it's frightening. So I hate saying and I hate saying this that you know There's been a lot of push. I mean, we're talking the past, like two, three weeks push for some big names in the world Calling for I basically a pause on all AI, because we need to start figuring out a way to regulate this, because and it's like, yeah, i I'm all usually for new ideas and letting the world figure it out because it allows It's democratization, it's it allows new ideas to really explode fast and that's how you have revolutions and not revolutions. But, like I don't want to describe it, when there's too much control on a concept, it slows progress.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:So and I'm usually four as a, as a initial nerdy, whether-neak scientist I'm all about scientific advancement, because I think it's. it's what part of the human race is. It's just challenging ourselves with new ideas. But AI is frightening. It can be. It can be frightening And not in a like Terminator-esque. So what we always go to is like a physical robot, like running around telling everybody.
Speaker 2:I don't think it's actually going to be bad.
Speaker 1:It's going to be something dumb, like, well, what you're seeing, there is just running rampant bots calling people and you know, telling them that a loved one needs help or money, and it's just like it's going to be. So all right, luckily we've been trained and I get so many spam calls. If I don't immediately recognize the number at all, i don't even deal with it. So it's wild.
Speaker 2:Yeah Well. So what I'm thinking now is like, okay, even those people who are, i mean, i'm like you, i'm all for like the technological advances, i don't really care Like whatever, but like for something like that, with like the guests and stuff, I could totally see people being like like putting their number down and then being like, wait a minute, no AI, whether it's through you, whether it's through a T AI, knows what I look like now.
Speaker 1:They don't have to do it. I can always give them. You know, you give them the forewarning.
Speaker 2:Like, if you want this photo.
Speaker 1:You can type your phone number, Otherwise you don't need to do it Are you going to do like a contract, like explaining, like this is AI. It's in what they when they put the phone number in this little terms of services. So just like anything that you sign up for at any given store, please read it, please, yeah.
Speaker 1:It's more over a it's. It's a you know you're going to, if you put your phone number in, this is going to recognize your face and you're going to go into a database for this, for this one event to be. But the company has said that when the event is over, the data is erased.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they say that.
Speaker 1:That's what it comes down to trust. At that point It's hard to know, i know, i know. So if you don't want to be recognized, or if a guest doesn't want to be recognized, they don't have to. So they can. They can opt out, because we'll only recognize the one face that I tag. So I have to, like, click on the face and it puts a little box around it And then that's the face that's tied to that number for that event. That's fantastic, dude. That is so creepy to me. It's where we're going.
Speaker 2:Oh, my God.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's using. The other thing that I like to do is that, if I don't take advantage of it and try something, someone else is already going to.
Speaker 2:Yeah, No, it's a great idea. Just it needs to be able to be like vetted. Yeah, you know it's just scary, but I'll check back in with you at the end of what season to go. Please do That will be a fun conversation We'll have to like play like a snippet of this and then do like start the other. That's a good one. Yeah, i like that. I definitely like that.
Speaker 1:I guess that'll just be me coming on terrible idea. My camera over.
