41: Field Notes – The Throughput Problem
Most photographers think they have a speed problem.
They don’t.
They have a throughput problem.
Throughput isn’t about shooting faster. It’s about removing bottlenecks, eliminating unnecessary decisions, and building systems that allow you to consistently produce quality work without constantly feeling behind.

40: 10 Years Later: Carien Schippers
What changes after ten years in business? In this second episode of the 10 Years Later series, I reconnect with Carien Schippers to reflect on a decade of growth, unexpected challenges, and an industry that looks very different than it did ten years ago. We discuss the changes she chose to make, the ones she was forced to make, how COVID reshaped her business, whether she has an exit strategy, and if she’d choose this career all over again. It’s an honest conversation about experience, perspective, and what time teaches us.
