Chris Scott launched Preveal a few years ago as an iPad-only application that helps photographers create wall art for their photography clients. But Chris isn't one to sit still. He felt the iPad application was a good start but it left so many who didn't own the device out in the cold. Well, Chris worked with a developer to create SwiftGalleries.

Chris and I got together to chat about what SwiftGalleries is all about and why photographers should consider this sales tool for their photography business.

Check out this video as well, explaining how SwiftGalleries works:

So, let me ask you … based on what Chris said and the video below it, would you invest in SwiftGalleries for your photography business? It's a whopping $7 per month, according to Scott. Really, to me, that's a no-brainer. But I want to hear from you. Sound-off below to tell me what you think.

And, if you are reading this post before Black Friday or Cyber Monday, do keep your eyes peeled for special offers from Chris here.

Dinesh Khanna and I passed each other at a Dayanita Singh lecture, in New Delhi. It was, as you might have expected it, quite a crowded space and I don't believe we traded more than a few courtesies. Sephi Bergerson, made the introductions because I nudged him to.

So, that's sort of the background on where and how we met. It was a hurried meeting but it left in me an indelible mark because of the sheer humility Dinesh projected. I was gasping to come up with something remarkable or flattering to say, but he slid right past all that and started to ask me about how I was using social media and what I thought would stick. I was just getting started on Twitter at that time. At that point he or I may have even talked about doing a workshop for Indian photographers about social media, but like all good plans that get shelved, this one too hit the deck.

Fast forward a few years ago when I noticed Dinesh on Facebook and connected with him there and we began “talking” again, engaging with photographs and thoughts we shared online. I finally had to ask him to come on Tiffincast (I really should start referring to it as TiffinboxTV, eh?) because I had so many questions about his background, his ideas of where things were going with photography and what photographing in India really meant. Plus, I heard he was deeply involved with Prashant Panjiar in creating the Delhi Photo Festival (yes, if you are in India and don't go, well, I have to wonder about you).

So here we are just chilling out and talking shop. It's a longish video chat, but one that will reveal quite a bit about Dinesh, his passion for teaching photography and of course his now famous chair project.

For a quick glimpse of Dinesh's work, check these lovely images out:

Do also take a moment to take a look at Nazar Foundation – also an organization that Dinesh and Prashant Panjiar have co-founded.

Dinesh has also published a few books, Bazaar and Living Faith among them, that take the viewer on an immersive journey of punchy colors and quaint Indian nooks, places you and I most likely will only dream of visiting in this lifetime.

If you value this and other interviews, I ask that you subscribe to TiffinboxTV and tell your friends about it using one of the social media tools you see on this page. Thank you!

Corwin Hiebert and his boutique business, Taendem Agency, for all practical purposes operates in the shadows. Out of sight to most, though, he and his team are responsible for making sure their clients, all creative people, have thriving businesses so that they can keep doing what they love.

The celebrated author, speaker, teacher, David duChemin is one his clients. From David's own words we hear about how he is left best to creating images and fully living the life of a creative because the other side of his business, which is the nitty gritty details of running it – bookkeeping, answering emails, setting up appointments etc. are all handled by Taendem.

Now, not everyone can afford the step up to this kind of laissez-faire (in truth, though, that was probably the wrong word to use as Taendem plays such an active role in the creative's life and lifestyle). That's one reason why Corwin sat down and crafted what I consider one of the most important books you should read – Living The Dream.

It's a small book but it will take you while to go through the chapters because every single thing he says is germane to the existence, sustenance and success of your photography business. Split over two parts – one that addresses managing your creative business and the other, marketing your creative business – this 14-chapter book must be one of those that you pick up to read and refer to all the time. Yes, it is that good! Buy it here [affiliate]

A couple of weeks back, I got in touch with Corwin because he launched Business Action Planner, “a self-paced resource that you can use to bring structure and focus to your business building efforts.” Curiously, the Business Action Planner works alongside Evernote, which I use every day anyway to save or retrieve content.

We sat down one early morning to chat about Business Action Planner and why this new resource, which includes a massive guidebook, the Business Action Planner and worksheets is so timely and relevant to photographers right now.

The Business Action Planner is now on sale (through November 30th, 2014) for only $40. You'll notice Corwin has the Tool Kit available for both freelance photographers and freelance designers. Choose between the two, or buy them both if your studio serves both kinds of clients.

While the investment in such a resource would be a no-brainer, I understand some of you may want to dip your toes in the water first. Check out Corwin's ebooks on Craft & Vision.
