On this week\u2019s episode of the\xa0B&H Photography Podcast, we continue our coverage of the\xa02022 OPTIC Conference\xa0with two highly invigorating segments about exploring the world after dark.
Our first guest is Susan Magnano, who specializes in luminescent night painted portraits. Our chat is revealing on many levels, from the balance of careful orchestration and randomness inherent in her portraits to a mention of the OM Systems OM1 as Magnano\u2019s newest secret weapon. After delving into her playful yet powerful arsenal of lighting tools, we gain insight into her multifaceted career\u2014from beginning at a local newspaper to her currently thriving wedding photography business, and her upcoming schedule of intensive photo workshops.
After a break, we welcome Sigma Ambassador\xa0Jack Fusco to discuss his unique blend of astrophotography with idyllic nocturnal landscapes. During our conversation, Fusco distinguishes astro work from deep sky photography, weighs the differences between DSLRs, the latest in mirrorless cameras, and even mobile phones such as Google\u2019s Pixel 6 Pro, (check out Fusco\u2019s Pixel 6 Pro photos here). In addition to elaborating on his favorite Sigma lenses for nocturnal imaging, Fusco provides insights about advanced accessories such as star trackers, all the while offering encouragement to anyone seeking to embark on a new adventure chasing the stars. Please join us for these otherworldly conversations about photography at night.\xa0
