Studio Nightmares Vol. 1

Studio Nightmares Vol. 1

Author: Daniel Jester October 26, 2021 Duration: 28:38

This upcoming weekend is Halloween here in the United States, and while some of our listeners won’t celebrate by going door to door with their kids asking for candy, we thought we’d put together this special episode of the e-commerce content creation podcast that we call Studio Nightmares.

While there aren’t too many spooky stories that take place in a photo studio, there are plenty of embarrassing, funny, and otherwise very cringeworthy stories out there. This episode is a collection of some of these stories from friends, colleagues, and past guests of the podcast. 

Story Guide:

Adam Queen: Don't Sail Away

Jen Bakija - Beware of Fans

Elizabeth Seronko - Hannah and Abigale

Kimmy Snow - I ManneCAN'T

Daniel Jester - Shredded


Hosted by Daniel Jester, The E-commerce Content Creation Podcast goes beyond the surface to explore the intricate world of visual storytelling behind online retail. This isn't just about taking pretty pictures; it's a deep dive into the entire creative engine that powers modern brands. Each conversation examines how photographers, videographers, stylists, and art directors actually work with marketing, merchandising, and tech teams to turn creative vision into tangible business results. You'll hear practical discussions about workflow, technology, and management that sit at the intersection of art and commerce. Covering a landscape that includes beauty, fashion, and countless other sectors, the podcast reveals how strategic content creation directly influences customer experience and organizational goals. For anyone involved in bringing a product to life online, these episodes offer a rare look at the collaborative challenges and solutions that define success in a crowded digital marketplace. Tune in for honest talk about the craft, business, and evolving technology of e-commerce visuals.
