Talkin’ Shop Podcast - EP 3 - Ian and Erick Regnard
I had the amazing oppurtunity to interview Ian and Erick Regnard, Brothers and a photography duo. They have been working in the industry, for longer than I have been alive; They know a thing or 2.
In this conversation we cover their history, style and of course business.
Some of the things we discuss are:
- If your not charging $2000 a day MINIMUM, you are losing money.
- Using Getty Images to get a rough Idea on how to cost out the licensing for your work.
-Being as creative as you can be regardless of the equipment you have.
-Mobile phone Cameras just being another medium for the commercial world.
and much more! please enjoy and below I have pasted their Bio below for anyone that wants to read it. Also their website is

"I can still hear the ocean in front of our place when I think about it! It's something you never forget!! Erick and I, Ian, were born on the island of Mauritius and kind of grew with the acceptance that somehow we were lucky enough to have experienced the freedom to be kids... Our relationship means everything! We understand each other, we feed off each other but most of all we challenge each other. This relationship thing also intriguely comes into our photography... We love the relationship with the sun and the ocean and everything around - call us old fashioned but we put a lot of work into creating the image right, first time, using natural light and using flashes, and using people with great faces...
We both love photography and we push the envelop to the point that some think we are crazy and maybe we are! Crazy enough to go the extra mile to create what we think is a great shot.
We love good food, we love wine, we love Rhum! We love girls, we love friends we love family... and we LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY!!!"
