Episode 0036: Interview with Syl Arena, Photographer and Prolific Blogger

by Dave Warner on February 2, 2010

LensFlare 35 is a weekly show brought to you by Dave Warner. In this week’s episode, Dave interviews Photographer and Blogger Syl Arena. Syl photographs the people, lifestyles and products of central California for advertising, editorial, and corporate clients. Whether it’s a single glass of wine or a group of winemakers, America’s most popular rose or the man who bred it, the world’s fastest sailboat or the team that races it, Syl has the expertise and the personality to create memorable photographs — both on location and in the studio.

In this episode, Syl talks about the state of our industry, the introduction of all this new gear and technology, HD DSLR’s and what it means to the industry, his blog, LIDLIPS and his new Speedlighters Handbook. We created a special video of Syl’s images with his explanation of each that plays (above) and then the full podcast interview, which is below.

I gotta tell you, that was one of the best podcasts I've ever watched. Having the slideshow of images as Syl spoke was phenomenal.
