It's Rick Sammon Day with Scott Kelby and Rick Sammon | The Grid Ep 695

Author: Kelby Media Group June 11, 2026 Duration: 1:09:39
Scott Kelby flies solo this week on The Grid while Erik Kuna is off leading a night photography workshop in New Mexico. Before welcoming Rick Sammon, Scott shares a gorgeous photo book that KelbyOne’s own Jason Stevens created from their recent Paris trip, then takes a look at his newly updated portfolio featuring travel portraits, iPhone photography, and behind-the-scenes galleries. Rick joins for a wide-ranging conversation about his new KelbyOne weather photography class with meteorologist Mike Caplan and a playful exploration of AI—from still images turned into cinematic videos and animated portraits to infrared conversions, painterly effects, and creative prompting in ChatGPT. It’s an inspiring look at how AI can complement photography while keeping the fun and creativity front and center, with giveaways and a reminder about the upcoming Photographing People Conference to wrap things up.

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.
