Five Things Learned From Budding Photographers with Marc Silber

TOGCHAT Photography Podcast

I had a great conversation this week with Mr. Marc Silber. Marc is a life-long photographer, best-selling author three times over, filmmaker and host of the Advancing Your Photography YouTube series.

Marc started out learning darkroom skills and the basics of photography at the legendary Peninsula School in Menlo Park, CA, in the '60s. If you are not familiar with the Peninsula School, they are renowned for their no-grade approach to education and support of student collaboration, positive risk-taking, and creativity. Marc moved on to hone his skills to professional standards at the famed San Francisco Art Institute and has since moved into teaching photography in workshops all over the country.

One of the things I admire most about Marc is his dedication to education. Not just sharing his knowledge and experience, but his own continuing education, and you will see in his books, his videos, and even in our conversation, that he has a brilliant quote from an inspirational photographer for almost any situation.

But his quotes are not just focused on iconic names like Adams and Leibovitz. He also makes it a point to learn from new photographers. When I booked Marc to be on the podcast, he shared a list of things that he has recently learned from talking to budding photographers, and I thought that would make for a great conversation and provide some excellent teaching opportunities.
