About this episode

Kersten Luts interviews Vincent Versace about the deeper meaning of photography beyond just taking pictures.

In this episode of Camera Shake, Kersten Luts sits down with internationally renowned photographer, author and educator Vincent Versace for a deep conversation about why photography is not about taking pictures — it is about learning to see. Vincent shares his thoughts on artificial intelligence, digital photography, natural light, lens choice, black and white, infrared photography, mirrorless cameras, Nikon glass and the creative discipline behind making images that actually mean something. From shooting more without losing intention, to using technology as a tool rather than a crutch, this interview explores what photographers can do to create work that feels personal, emotional and alive. We also talk about the difference between sharpness and blur, why natural light is still one of the most powerful tools in photography, and why photographers need to stop chasing likes and start making images that move them. Whether you are an amateur photographer, professional photographer, videographer, portrait photographer, or someone building a photography business, this conversation is packed with insight, humour and practical photography advice.
