In this episode, we talk about how graphic elements can help us to improve a photograph. We focus on patterns, lines, shapes and using a contrasting element result in an interesting photograph. 

In this special conversation, Ibarionex speaks directly to listeners spurred by a letter received by a fan of TCF. In it, he touches on the struggles and challenges, he faced when he left a full-time job to begin a career as a freelance writer, photographer and podcaster. He discusses some of his recent challenges as well, all with the hope of inspiring and encouraging others to seek their own creative path. 

Ibarionex critiques images that capture the oft-photographed moment of people walking down the street and what it takes to make an exceptional image of this oft-photographed moment. 

For the final in our series on black and white conversions, we share a demonstration of Alien Skin Exposure 6. Starting in Adobe Lightroom, we walk you through the process of taking a flat color file and converting it into a high contrast black and white photograph.
