J. B. Sallee is no stranger to SCU. We've shared so many of his guest posts, an episode of "Why?' and different programs he's been involved with since starting this blog eight years ago. He's one of the most diverse portrait artists in your industry, and his track record, especially in WPPI Print Competition, is becoming legendary.

But the fun of a podcast series like this is about what's ahead for the future more than things the guest has done in the past. Even through the pandemic, JB's not slowing down and talks about how he's maintaining relationships with his clients and building a foundation for a successful new year.

I met JB at the very start of his career, presenting him with the Hy Sheanin Scholarship at WPPI many years ago. Over the years, he's not only grown his skill set as an artist but as an educator. Right now, he's focused on a brilliant post-pandemic workshop with his Campfire series, essentially an overnight summer camp for adults focused on raising the bar on the quality of your images while still maintaining physical distancing and safety.

We covered a lot of ground in this podcast...

• How JB got started in the photography industry
• How he is sustaining his business given the challenges of 2020
• How he is maintaining relationships with his clients
• How he is staying productive and planning for the future
• Skills many photographers struggle with
• The importance of education
• How he has used Platypod in his photography work
• Advice for photographers and the importance of having a business mentor
• His upcoming campfire workshop at CampfireWorkshops.com
