I Shoot LA13 - Jared Kocka (photographer)KA-BOOM! Photographer Jared Kocka joins us via Zoom from NYC on the eve of his new book release on June 15th! No time for Lucas's bad jokes that fall flat, we dive right into Jared's transition from LA to NYC and key differences he's observed between the coastal industries. We then talk about the inspiration and themes that went into creating Jared's first compendium photo book -- and later, Lucas rants on the insulting reduction of "female versus male gaze" in photography and art. BUY JARED'S BOOK!

I Shoot LA12 - Lupe Santiago (producer)Unsung hero and mega executive producer Lupe Santiago takes us to Excel School and breaks down all the things that go into the nitty gritty of production. We track her journey from crossing the border into the US as a child, to her first job in the industry as a sample coordinator, and through her time at one of the best studios in LA (and the country) Industrial Color. Q&A: the importance of work/life balance, pros and cons of being a producer, and how to get hired by her. Dry January is over -- time to undo...2023-02-091h 14
I Shoot LA11 - Randall Slavin (photographer)Mr. Biggie Big-Time celebrity and advertising photographer Randall Slavin talks about how his transition from actor to photographer fueled his meteoric rise as a Los Angeles photography vanguard. We also discuss his distaste for film (wha??) as well as the indispensability of professional retouchers. Kuestions Korner: how important is networking... how can models make their own shoot successful... who are our personal idols... and, is it ok to fake it??

I Shoot LA10 - Holiday 2022 (feat. Alex Stone + Bram Norman)Just in time for Christmas! Studio owner Alex Stone and photog Bram Norman join for seltzers, whiskey, and deep dive nerdy talks on NFT’s, our inevitable AI replacement, burst modes, a two year old camera now going for twice its original price, as well as answering a stocking-full of kuestions. If you can make it through this geek-fest of an episode, you’re the real deal.
Please sign the Capture One letter (link below), so those Danish sons-o-guns give us back our old C1!

I Shoot LA08 - Mail Bag #1 (feat. Matt Shouse)Matt Shouse stumbles in (literally) and crashes our first ever Mail Bag episode, where we answer all YOUR burning questions. Full disclosure: this is a heavy gear-talk episode, so it's either going to be nerd-boner city for you, or a holistic sleep-aid. Either way, we're glad you're here!

I Shoot LA07 - Emilynn Rose (photographer)Emilynn Rose drops in, lights a "candle", and talks her Hawthorne roots, ANTM inspiration, and how she runs her sets. In Kuestions Korner: convincing your clients to travel for jobs, what to look for in hiring crew, and encounters with man-splaining gaffers. Plus: the show has new jingles and Lucas still doesn't know how to pronounce the name of his friend of over 10 years.

I Shoot LA06 - Matt Shouse (photographer)The House of Shouse is open and welcomes all listeners! Photographer Matt Shouse talks early small-town dreams for Tinsel Town as well as his formative years as a photo assistant before breaking out on his own. Kuestions Korner: can paid model testing still lead to caviar wishes and champagne dreams— or, don’t quit your job drawing tree leaves into OC housewives' extra foam lattes just yet.

I Shoot LA05 - Marco Rodriguez (stylist)Marco has landed! One of the most prolific stylists in Los Angeles comes ready to share his story and methods, only to then just watch Shintani and Lucas get SUPER drunk. We also manage to ask him questions, and Lucas gets way too passionate trying to understand what makes Marco, Marco. If you’re a photog, this episode gets you inside the head of a working stylist. If you’re an aspiring stylist, try to power-through the slurred questions from the hosts, because Marco gives great answers and advice!

I Shoot LA04 - Kim Tran (producer)Literally the best episode on the biz (in LA) that you’ll ever hear…and it’s only episode 4! Industry icon and producer Lil Kim (Kim Tran) does a free master class on what it takes to make it in the production side of fashion— do NOT miss the Q&A. Lucas also totally forgets meeting Lil Kim for the first time (thank you Smashbox) and Shintani gets fired up about permits (clients: pay the extra $400!). This is a long one, but worth its weight in solid gold, we promise.

I Shoot LA03 - John Jay (photographer)Does anyone smell smoke?? LA-based fashion photographer John Jay comin' in HOT this episode! We talk: Miami razor wire, time-served at Milk Studios, shooting Billy Eilish and Halle Berry, as well as progress made, but more progress needed for people of color in the Los Angeles fashion industry. Listener questions: how to start shooting for modeling agencies, and how to build your creative network in LA.

I Shoot LA02 - Alex Stone (studio owner)Quite possibly LA’s hardest working fashion photographer— and now studio co-owner, Alex Stone commutes an entire two blocks down Santa Fe Ave to join us for episode 2. We delve into his backstory, the founding and business model of Hyperblack Studios, going freelance, and wrap up with listener questions. Please forgive varying audio levels…I have to learn ProTools now— it never ends, haha.
