Hard Truths and Helpful Lies in Photography with Erik Kuna & Serge Ramelli | The Grid Ep 663

Author: Kelby Media Group October 8, 2025 Duration: 1:06:12
This week, Serge Ramelli joins host Erik Kuna for a no-filter chat, and things get real fast. From the “hard truths” about gear obsession to the “helpful lies” we tell ourselves about editing, light, and talent — nothing’s off-limits. Serge shares his take on shooting vs. fixing it in post, why technique beats equipment every time, and when a little Photoshop magic is absolutely fair game. It’s equal parts tough love, honest advice, and classic Grid banter. This Week's Sponsors: Imagen | Boris FX | Canon | B&H | Platypod | KelbyOne | Profoto | Litra | V-Flat Grid | Retouch4me

For anyone who lives and breathes images, The Grid: Photography Podcast serves as a weekly, unfiltered conversation straight from the industry's heart. Hosted by the team at Kelby Media Group, this audio-only version captures the spontaneous energy of their live talk show, transforming it into a portable dialogue for photographers on the move. The discussion revolves squarely around the craft, business, and culture of photography, with deep dives into tools like Photoshop and the ever-shifting landscape of professional practice. What sets this podcast apart is its interactive, community-driven roots; though you're listening after the fact, you're hearing real-time reactions and questions that shaped the episode's direction. Each installment brings a fresh perspective, featuring a different guest-whether joining in-studio or remotely-to unpack specific techniques, creative philosophies, or pressing news. The result is a candid, often opinionated, and always informative exchange that feels like pulling up a chair at a busy studio table. It’s less a formal lecture and more a gathering of peers debating gear, dissecting trends, and sharing hard-won insights. Tuning in provides not just technical knowledge, but a genuine sense of connection to the wider photographic community, all packaged in a convenient audio format for your commute or editing session.
