679: Melody MacDonald – How to Handle Difficult Photography Clients Without Losing Your Cool
Before becoming a full-time photographer, Melody Macdonald spent more than 20 years working as a 911 dispatcher, where staying calm, listening carefully and communicating clearly were essential. In this interview, Melody shares what photographers can learn from high-pressure emergency communication, especially when dealing with upset, disappointed or demanding clients. She explains why telling someone to “calm down” rarely works, how to pause before reacting, when it is better to pick up the phone, and why many client complaints are not really about the photography at all. You’ll also hear how clearer expectations, stronger boundaries and more direct communication can prevent difficult situations before they start.

678: Marcin Rafalowicz – How to Build a Custom ChatGPT for Your Photography Business
Most photographers are using AI for culling, editing or the occasional social post. Marcin Rafalowicz believes they’re barely scratching the surface. In this interview, he explains how to build a custom ChatGPT trained on your voice, your business, your pricing, your clients and the work you want to be known for. The result is less generic content, faster marketing and an AI tool that becomes more useful the more you refine it. Marcin also shares how custom GPTs, website chatbots and voice-powered AI could change the way photographers create content, answer enquiries and run their businesses.

Joanna Kilgore of Jolee Art & Photography has rebuilt her portrait photography business from scratch in multiple new locations — and managed to become known fast each time. In this interview, Joanna shares how she adapted when organic social media stopped working, why networking became her biggest marketing advantage, and how everyday conversations in shops, cafés and local businesses have led to real photography bookings. She also shares how she thinks about showing the work she wants to sell, creating luxury portrait experiences, booking a French castle for destination sessions, balancing digital files with products, and managing business, family and creativity while living with ADHD. For photographers wondering how to stand out in a crowded market, rebuild after a move, or think bigger about what a portrait business can become, this is a conversation full of practical insight and bold ideas.

675: Kim Jongen – Turning Viral Dog Photos Into Wall Art, Stock Sales and Coaching
Kim Jongen of Mother Puppers Studio is back on the podcast two years after first sharing how she became one of the most recognisable dog photographers in the Netherlands. In this follow-up interview, Kim shares what has changed since the early days of viral attention, media coverage and being booked out. She talks about reducing the number of clients she photographs each week, raising her prices, selling more wall art, outsourcing editing, moving into a professional studio and creating new income streams through stock image sales and coaching. What stands out is how Kim has shifted from simply being busy to building a photography business that feels more sustainable, profitable and enjoyable to run.

673: North Sullivan – Building a $10M+ Portrait Studio Business
North Sullivan of www.thephotostudio.com.au has spent over 40 years behind the camera, shooting some of Australia’s largest advertising campaigns. These days, his focus is portrait photography — but what he’s built is far from a typical portrait business. We’re talking about a studio business with close to 80 staff, reported turnover upward of $10 million, and — at the time of recording — more than 150 Meta ads running. There are three incredible-looking studios built inside retro warehouses, based in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. I’m excited to learn more about this impressive business, the man behind it, and how North made the shift from high-end advertising photography to building one of Australia’s most recognisable fashion portrait studio brands. In this interview, North shares how he reinvented his photography career, the business model behind The Photo Studio, why experience and ethics matter in high-ticket portrait sales, what it takes to manage a large creative team, and why imagination, passion and originality may be the real defence against AI.
