50: Greg Kindred does commercial photography

This is my big Episode 50. That’s, like, a milestone, right? And it’s with a nice guy I know, so I like it even more.

I worked with Greg for years at a veterinary publishing and event company. Now, he’s working on revving up his business in commercial photography, which I think is interesting. What is commercial photography? In Greg's case, he specializes in tabletop product pics, headshots, and pet portraits. You know, not artsy-fartsy photographs (although he takes those, too, and they’re real purty), but work for businesses. The kind of shots that leave you smiling at an executive’s facial expression, or curious about a new beer, or intrigued by packaging of just about anything.

In this interview, he drops some tidbits about two basic mistakes people make taking amateur pictures at the end, so stay tuned  …

Audio note: Greg’s audio is a little crackly sometimes. Hey—nice guys and gals agree to record interviews with me remotely, and I don’t harangue them about their setup, alright? ALRIGHT? Love you all! :)

To Feed Further Curiosity:

• You can find Greg Kindred Photography here. He takes good pictures of anything, he stays calm and collected, and he’s creative.
• Here’s a pic of me and Greg with ex-co-workers with that company. I found it in the set of “Events" pics Greg has on the above website. He’s the tall guy in the shades far left. I’m the tall guy in the middle back with the mostly shaved head. We both have foam fingers because we rule. He looks about the same years later. I’ve chonked
• Greg is planning to crowd-fund publishing costs for a book of Kansas City breweries. He’s already got interest from local retailers to sell it. I’ve seen the proof-of-concept book, and it’s awesome. I don’t care about beers or Kansas City that much (I’m from Cali, so sue me), but the book is really pretty and interesting. Hurry up, Greg.
