Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast Elvis.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Sixteen Morning Show.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
It is a fifteen minute morning show podcast. We got
a room full today. We've got guests. We have Vienna
who is in from Tanzania.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
Right off safari? How have you been doing safaris sixteen
years now? They ever been hit by a Paul? Okay? Well?

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Also back from college? Spencer is here up from university.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
What's going on?

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Well, we're gonna try to talk to your mom and
you're taking you on safari.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
I would love to go on safari. There you go.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Who wouldn't And of course Phil Siciliano, Oh you got
it right?

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Is heree?

Speaker 1 (00:49):
The of course? Wedding photographers to the stars, that's me Hi.
We have so we have a bond between these three guests.
Can you guess what it is? What is the connection?

Speaker 2 (00:59):
I don't know?

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Photography? Well your son isn't really but he could be
there to watch the photography. So you know, Vienna has
really done a great job in self teaching photography, wildlife
photography because he's out there he sees everything, and so

(01:21):
shooting a bride and groom that's wildlife as well in
a way, because doing that exactly so I mean we
need to take you on safari to get some shots
of crazy animals.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
Oh that'd be amazing. You'd be good at that. Oh yeah,
I'd love it. I just don't want to get mold
because you're not gonna get mald.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
The thing about wedding photography, the best wedding photography is
not the pictures that are posed. It's catching the candid
photos when they're not paying attention. But with animals, it's
nothing about candid. They're not looking at you. They're looking
at what they're doing, right, like eating another animal or whatever.

Speaker 4 (01:57):
Yeah, So with the anymal is you just have that
one moment and you need to capture it. So you know,
you have to first understand their behavior and then you
know you're like staring at them all the time through
that lens to wait for that particular moment that you
want and you have it for like two to three seconds.

(02:20):
And the good thing is, or the bad thing is,
you don't have any lights or anything like you know,
or any way of telling that animal you can pose
like here or there or do that. So you have
really to be aware of what you want to do
and the surrounding and your camera as well, you have
to know your camera very well and then wait for

(02:43):
the moment and then take the moment.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
It's not like at home with my catre No not
to say the same.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Look at the parallels, because when you're shooting a wedding,
you you've done so many you know, you kind of
anticipate what they're going to do next and how they're
going to act, so you know when they get the shot.

Speaker 5 (03:01):
So the way he just describe photographing animals, it's the
same concept for people.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
It is.

Speaker 5 (03:06):
He could be an amazing wedding photographer just based on
what he just said.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
Right, how's that?

Speaker 5 (03:10):
Because he said, it's like you have to focus on
a wild animal and you only have a split second
to capture their moment. And it's exactly like that on
a wedding day because these brides, these grooms, they you
can't explain what their next move's gonna be because alcohol
is involved, and there's all these different nerves, nerves, I mean,

(03:33):
you name it. There's so many different things that are
going on that I've actually started doing what's called zone focusing.
It's a technique that's used in street photography. So it's
almost like you don't even know I'm to take the picture.
You just click and you move. Because there's just so
much spontaneity that happens on a wedding day that I
want to catch it instantly. Rather than saying, okay, go

(03:53):
stand over there and let me get you looking at
me this way. I just want that real moment so
when you look at it, you see what happened at
that instance.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
We see at a wedding. I mean, the best photographers,
in my opinion, are the ones that are invisible.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
You don't know they're there.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
You're but you're in the background just capturing things. It's
the same exact thing on the serengetti. They're not gonna pose,
they're not gonna take direction at all.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
For example, like Alex, you know, he's got a small
camera that it comes on safari with and you know
sometimes it takes it takes pictures and you know, he
does not really know what he took. When it gets
back home, he's going through them and it's like, wow,
I didn't know I got that moment. You know, It's
like it's it's a split of seconds and you have
to click and get it, you know, and you know

(04:42):
you have as he said, when you want to capture
that moment, to freeze that moment, you have to be
quick and you have to shoot. You know, when I'm
shooting with the new cameras. Nowaday, you have thirty frames second,
fifty frames per second, so that is fifty pictures that

(05:04):
you clicked for second, you know, and after that when
you go through them, it's when now you pick the
base that you you like to post outside.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
Gandhi is joining us.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Hell, we're talking about the parallels between wedding photography and
wildlife photography.

Speaker 6 (05:19):
Oh what are they start all over?

Speaker 3 (05:23):
And also of course Spanni's back from university.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Yeah, so we're trying to make these three guests make
sense together.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
What about I.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
Started talking about college snapchat photography.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Yeah, I mean, I mean that's a bit of that,
I mean.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
Professional. But I guess.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
I've been doing a couple of you know, recordings or
media for my school right through on some of this
on my Instagram, but uh, for the school and for
the team like that I played for.

Speaker 5 (05:50):
Been doing a bunch of like interviews and stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
So I don't know, I.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Guess he did.

Speaker 7 (05:54):
He did it in a brand new day in the
life where they interview him for his entire day and
what's going on.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
He didn't shoot it, but somebody's help came. So you're
the model that they shoot.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah, so what if we did a camp. We need
to do a camp for like fifty people.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
That's too big.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
How much would that cost us?

Speaker 1 (06:13):
So all of us are families, and our photographer and
his family and we all go to the Serengeti and
do our show on the.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
We got to get a sponsor for this, we do.

Speaker 6 (06:25):
I think we all have to start our only fans pages.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
This is how we afford to go over there. If
we start squishing things with our feet, we're going to
make lots of money. Done.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
There you go. Maybe we got a camera company to
sponsor it. There you go. We get working on that.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
But you know, I think of what you said earlier, Gandhi,
you how great it would be to take your entire family,
your mom and your dad, and your your your sister
and everyone. Yeah, on safari and of course Danielle, you
and Sheldon, Yeah, Spencer, impression spending impresston. It is a
family thing. You you with friends. I could see a
bunch of girl friends going together on safari.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
Yes, I At the moment, I'm working on a friends
trip that there will be five of them, four girls
and one one boy. And it's fun planning it, you know,
it's it's lots of fun planning it because they're all
fun and you know exactly that. You know it's going
to be a fun trip. So they're doing KILLI, and
then after KILLI, after they climb, we go do the Safari.

Speaker 7 (07:25):
Hey, have you ever had someone on Safari that was
such an ass that you wanted to throw them to
the lions?

Speaker 4 (07:31):
Not really, most of the people behave.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
You're going to die? Well, I don't know. Have you
been a Safari film?

Speaker 5 (07:40):
I haven't.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
I would love to go on. Everyone should do, especially.

Speaker 5 (07:45):
I mean, put aside the animals. I've seen some of
the sunsets and the landscape photography that's done there and
blows my mind.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
I'll tell you this.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
To see a sunset on the certain Getti, I've never
seen anything. You feel like you're on another planet because
the sun is as big as the entire scope of
what you can see.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
I mean that would be inside the Lion King. It
is very inside the Lion King, very much. So well,
so there you go. So we figured out a plan.
We're taking the show on the road. Yeah, let's go, Scary.
Can you produce on the road with you?

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Right?

Speaker 3 (08:22):
Yes? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. You could stay back here,
you could run the ball here in New York. No, no,
I want to be hanging out.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
I want to be part of it.

Speaker 6 (08:32):
I cannot even imagine Scary in the Serengetti.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Oh yeah, immediate sunburn. What would he fall on? Which animal?
Baby lion?

Speaker 3 (08:40):
I'd be very careful, very respectible. That is Serengetty Scary.

Speaker 4 (08:44):
Last year I had, you know, I had the family
of sixteen and we are driving in the Seringetti and
we go to these copies, copies of rock outcrops that
comes from the ground. And we sat there and one
of them said, should be a good place for the
morning show to come and broadcast from.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
A studio ready to go, and the wife stood over
there because you.

Speaker 4 (09:10):
Can you can sit there and see the certing. Get
I can see.

Speaker 5 (09:15):
We meant the satellite on the top of a giraffe, like.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
Because this gift will be walking.

Speaker 4 (09:22):
But you know, we have companies that can supply.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
Connection and no, we're going to find a way a satellite.
This is a visual of an antenna on top of
a Giraff's podcasting.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
At So here's what saddens me, though, Gandhi, is you
really there's not one animal you should touch there?

Speaker 3 (09:44):
Really, no, you shouldn't. You should not touch anything.

Speaker 6 (09:47):
I know I shouldn't.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
You know you you can't. You'll just a.

Speaker 6 (09:50):
Nice little pet. I'm telling you if they can feel
if she was to do that, do you say your
safari is done and you bring her.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Back to the U.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
You know that is a life threatening thing. We have
had people doing it actually, but it's a life threatening
thing because for you to be able to touch that
line that means of that animal. That means you have
to have part of your body outside the vehicle. So
if that animal reacts, These animals are very quick, more
than what we think. If that animal reacts within a second,

(10:25):
you might be, you know, in a in a very
big mess.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
You're being so we we you.

Speaker 4 (10:32):
Know, we always tell people they are friendly, but they
also they are very deadly when you know they're not respected.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
They're very unpredictable.

Speaker 6 (10:40):
I would be respectful.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
No, I'm not even taking I'm calling her. You're not
will not allow you now, Okay, So Phil let's talk
about the documentary. It's available right now to view. It's
a short and it's on your Instagram page.

Speaker 5 (10:56):
It's on my Instagram page. It's called Stay Still Right
by a very talented cinematographer and friend. His name is
Chris Antice. Was his idea, and it was born last
last week. It just came out. It's so fresh that
this is the first place I'm really announcing it. So
it's out there. It's in the wild, no pun intended.

(11:18):
And yeah, it shows you what it is for us
and what we go through as photographers, and the humble
side to it, I guess.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
You could say good.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
But there's got to be an exciting side too, because
you're dealing with a day at a wedding, a day
of emotion and of passion and people being just nuts
and out of their minds and freaking out, and you've
got to calm them down or what die.

Speaker 5 (11:45):
It's kind of like being a doctor in an emergency
room where you're there and you're in panic mode, but
they know what to do because you're the professional and
you're there to calm them down and.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
Do it the right way. But yeah, chaos erupts left.

Speaker 5 (12:02):
And right, every single weekend.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
The emergency room. So it's called stay still.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Yes, if you go to Philip Underscore Siciliano, Siciliano underscore,
just Philip underscore sicilian Oh there's nothing after this, there's nothing.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
I also put it.

Speaker 7 (12:19):
At radio radio Daniel Minaro on my instant story, so
you can click the link there too, if it's easier
than spelling Siciliano.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
It's a very heartwarming. It's twelve minutes long. It's it's
worth a walk. Keeps your attention.

Speaker 6 (12:34):
Do you know what tie all of this together? What
does tie all this together? So my sister got married
at the Columbus Zoo in the heart of Africa, So
wedding photographer in the heart of Africa. And guess what
we could touch the animals.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
It was great, it was great.

Speaker 3 (12:47):
I got a giraffe wall. If you just visit petting
zoos and not the form.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
And if you in touch with Vna. I'm telling you
right now you get in touch to the VNA. If
you d m him on Instagram, there is a way
you will find. You will find a way to get
to the Serengeti and go on Safari. If you want
to link over, simply go to Elvis dra and show
on Instagram and we have it all up there for you.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
And also for those who comes with the cameras and
it's the first time using them, I always offer them
free lessons on how to use their cameras, the settings
and how to capture the moments.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
So you don't come down so far just with my
cell phone, you can.

Speaker 4 (13:29):
You can't come with yourself.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
They were just fine, Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 4 (13:31):
You can come. You know, the people wants to capture
the moments in a bigger scope, so they bring their tailors,
you know, zooming lenses and everything. So and most of them,
some of them it's the first time they bought it
or they rented it, so you know, when they come
out there, everything is new. So I always give them

(13:53):
hints on how to use them.

Speaker 5 (13:55):
Remember it's not about the camera you use, it's how
you use it.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
That's what I was told.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
