I recently asked inside the PhotoBizX members Facebook group for suggestions of creative photographers to interview for the podcast.
Past interview guest, Tanya Goodall Smith suggested I talk to Pye Jirsa saying that his new course and all the fun he's been having on Tik Tok would make him the perfect guest.
Trusting Tanya's judgement, I invited Pye for an interview.
Since setting up this recording, I did some investigating to learn more and WOW… my head is spinning!
I checked out Pye's photography website to see THE most incredible studio space! Trust me when I say you will be blown away when you see it.
A team of over 30 staff!
Fantastic photography.
Plus, I learned Pye is not only the founder and partner of Lin and Jirsa Photography, a boutique Southern California photography studio with an incredible team that shoots over 300 weddings each year, with nearly 1,000 yearly client commissions.
He's also the founder and partner of SLR Lounge and the creator of every workshop and every resource inside of our SLR Lounge library with nearly a million monthly readers.
In this interview, Pye shares his views and ideas on creativity, business, TikTok and education while surviving and prospering during a crazy year of COVID.
Here’s some of what we cover:

If someone's going to be successful as a photographer, they would be successful with our without my help. So, it really doesn't matter. If I can help them along that journey through our freemium content, then great. – Pye Jirsa

I think the Instagram and Tiktok blend is a really good one. I think you can pull off both of those without putting that much more time into it. – Pye Jirsa
Anybody of average intelligence, I can train to be creative. – Pye Jirsa
