Shutter & Algorithms explores the intersection of creativity, technology, and craft—where cameras, code, and artistry meet.
Hosted by photographer and creative technologist Daniel Douglas, each episode unpacks how modern tools are transforming the way we capture, edit, and share stories. From AI-driven workflows to lighting setups, client communication, and creative strategy, this show helps visual creators stay inspired and stay current.
Whether you’re a photographer, videographer, or content creator, you’ll find practical insights, honest conversations, and fresh perspectives on what it means to create in the age of intelligent tools.
