Beyond the Signs is a podcast made by creators, for creators. Good friends Omar and Kiera have put their heads together to transform their everyday conversations as fellow creators and collaborators, into a space where those conversations are helping, informing, and connecting creators and entrepreneurs far and wide. You will hear from us, as well as countless guests, on how we got started in our respective entrepreneur / freelance careers, our journeys to this day, goals for the future, and much more. We hope to share through our own experiences (and collaborations with friends and guests), invaluable knowledge on how to maneuver this business as a content creator, photographer, videographer, or any other creative in the field. In the highly competitive world we are in today in the entertainment industry, we hope to provide you, the listener, with some insight as to how to navigate finding clients, managing a freelance business, how to book paying gigs, finding your niche, making connections, pricing yourself, and more.
Today on BTSP, co-hosts Omar and Kiera are talking about their differing opinions on which lighting situation they prefer – natural or studio lighting. Omar takes after artificial lighting for the flexibility it gives him to manipulate the lights to emulate whatever type of environment he’s going for, as well as the advantage of not having to work around the weather to be able to get his work done. Kiera, however, being a portrait & lifestyle photographer, has worked with natural lighting her entire career and photo journey, and enjoys the intention that is behind having to work around nature to be able to produce her art. Both respective preferences are beautiful when used in the right way, to the creative’s best advantage, and can both lead to amazing shots and work.
Let us know what shooting conditions you guys like better - natural or artificial? And click any of the links down below to check out Omar and Kiera’s works, as well as links to the audio version of this podcast on various platforms.

We’re talking all about whether you should rent your camera gear, or just buy it instead? Kiera and Omar are dissecting the pros and cons of both options when it comes to doing freelance work and really everything media industry related. This conversation goes in depth on their respective opinions, as well as the difference between renting a lens and renting a drone. Which ties back to the episode we recorded right before this one – all about drone photography, as a part of this 2-part series.

Today’s episode gives you guys an in depth perspective from us on the behind the scenes of Beyond the Signs. We decided that we wanted to share with our newfound audience how we have gotten to where we are today with our podcast, coming from where we started. Kiera did not know how to edit on Premiere Pro, and Omar did not know anything about the audio side of recording a podcast. Throughout this experience, both co-hosts were taken outside of their comfort zones in trying to learn new skills to make this concept a reality — for themselves and each other. We hope you guys enjoyed this peak, quite literally beyond the signs, of the ins and outs of our journey that has made this podcast what it is today. To anyone struggling with making any type of content or being a creative in general — just keep going. Consistency will reward you sooner or later, and if you’re passionate about what you’re doing, that matters and will shine through any hardship. Thank you for all of the support!

COVID 2.0 - What would us creatives do different? Today on BTSP, Omar and Kiera are discussing the highly controversial topic of Covid-19, and our experiences thru the pandemic. A huge point in this episode is now, with the world the way it is, you never know what could happen, and when the next virus could come along and have us all back to square one, 2020 Covid lockdown days. Looking back on our first experience of such a lockdown and the world shifting the way it did, what did we do (or not do) creatively that we would change if it ever happened again? What practices, habits, and actions would we take to keep our creativity alive during a time like this, if we had to experience something similar again? This topic really made us think and reflect in a healthy way, and we hope any of our listeners feel the same in listening to this episode.

This week on Beyond the Signs Podcast, Kiera and Omar are discussing the ins and outs of traveling for a gig. From what kind of equipment they bring on travel gigs, to how much equipment and why, this topic highlights a very important part of freelancing that a lot of creatives have differing opinions and preferences on. The value in knowing how to be efficient with your equipment when lugging around heavy gear is exponential when it comes to traveling for work. No one wants to pack a ton of gear that they won’t use during the actual project they are working on, and bring unnecessary items just because they own them and feel the need to use them on every project. Each project is different, and the most amazing outcomes can arise from the least amount of gear, in more instances than you would think.

Today on BTSP, we’re talking all about how to get into drone photography and videography, as well as how to market your drone shots and potentially make $ from them. Omar gives us the rundown on how to get started in the industry of drone photo and video, how to get your drone license, where to sell your footage, and what drone is best for each skill level. It may seem like a daunting thing to jump into, but drone photographers & videographers are highly sought after to provide various productions with extremely well-shot, cinematic and useful shots for their respective projects. Furthermore, if you lack the funding for such expensive equipment or just simply want to try one out without committing to a purchase just yet, renting is a great option that we break down for you in this episode. We hope this was informative and encouraging to anyone interested in making a stake in the drone world.

In today’s episode of Beyond the Signs, Kiera and Omar are having the interesting conversation of the term videographer vs filmmaker in today’s industry. Which is more common, what are the differences between each, and which one do we prefer? This topic is purely our take on things, and simply invites the conversation to be had, being that titles and terms have shifted slightly with the age of Tiktok, Instagram, and social media in general. That being said, we found that we use different terms and titles to present ones’ self in different environments or situations. However, we want to know what YOU guys think – comment your take on this topic down below, and also comment what topics you want to see from us next!

Is it better to have hunger or experience? Today on BTSP, Kiera and Omar are discussing their opinions on the pros and cons of having both hunger, and experience in today’s industry, and which is more important to succeed. This topic went far beyond just measures of success in typical terms – as it deals with a much deeper level of why one creates and is driven to a creative field. Furthermore, what drives them to success in that field. Is it because they were able to get a lot of jobs and are well known for those jobs, or is it because they are simply hungry for whatever comes their way and passionate about their work, regardless of a lengthy resume?

Welcome back to Beyond the Signs Podcast. Episode 14 features Omar and Kiera, comparing the pros and cons of networking in groups or more individually. This topic also ties into the concept of mutually beneficial connections, and where that does and doesn’t work. Group networking ended up winning this conversation between us, with the pro that group networking can lead to finding your people within a bigger group, and then working with those people more individually. Obviously, needless to say, always be careful meeting up with anyone, especially anyone you’re meeting on the internet, which is another reason we concluded that group networking is the best all around.

Thanks for coming back to Beyond the Signs Podcast! Episode 15 is all about our tips and tricks on how we strive to create a better work/life balance every day. As Omar stated in this episode, “It’s not like there is one answer. You have to keep updating, and always revising the way you actually do things. But there are tips and tricks you can do to be at your most optimal.” Couldn’t have a better quote that sums up this episode the best. Concentrating on a work-life balance in the form of functioning in your job, but also the importance of balanced nutrients, being active, and making time for your mental health and your mind. Especially being creators and being our own bosses, it can get really hard to create an on and off switch for thinking about and working on your business and your work.
We hope you enjoyed and found a little relativity to this episode. Listen to this conversation on all platforms, linked below.

In this episode of Beyond the Signs Podcast, Omar and Kiera are talking about the pros and cons of spontaneous projects as well as planned ones. There is obviously a time and place for each type of project, but speaking in terms of pure passion and peak excitement in what you’re doing, both BTSP co-hosts found that the work they’ve felt most proud of has come out of spontaneous projects with fellow friends and creatives. I mean, that is the derivative of our drive to create art, right? There’s different energy within the shoots based purely on spontaneity and the beauty of capturing life as it happens.

In this episode of Beyond the Signs Podcast, Kiera and Omar talk about the topic of having confidence while working on bigger projects. As you hit milestones or accomplishments in your career, you’re likely to hit a point where you are asked and entrusted with a bigger project, which means bigger responsibilities and more pressure. How do you handle yourself with confidence, even in times when you feel nervous or stressed, and get the job done at the same time?

Should you take a break from social media? In this week’s episode, we’re here to tell you that maybe it’s time to take a hiatus from social media platforms to preserve your sanity and mental health. If you struggle with comparison to others, imposter syndrome, or putting insane amounts of pressure on yourself that is not realistic to thrive long term, this might be an episode you need to hear. Omar is currently taking an indefinite hiatus from pretty much all social media platforms as well. He saw himself doing all of those things mentioned above and knew he couldn’t keep going like this any longer. Growing up with social media means that we have both been on certain platforms and apps for over 10 years straight. Everyone has a different relationship with it, but if you are struggling with similar things because of the unhealthiness of it all, you’re not alone, and it’s okay to take a break. Social media has such a hold on us nowadays, that we all deserve a break and to regain control.

Welcome back to episode 16 of Beyond the Signs Podcast, which is all about comparing the pros and cons of a saturated market, which is the market we are currently in creatively and in the media/entertainment business, a lot because of Tiktok making it so much easier to blow up and be able to have your own following for you to turn into a business. Everyone wants to be a creator nowadays, and whether you’re making your own content or hiring someone else to, there is a higher percentage of people striving to make photography, filmmaking, and content creation, and their career. Omar and Kiera are talking all about their differing opinions on whether a saturated market is a positive thing or a negative one.

Having a Work/Life Balance? Thanks for coming back to Beyond the Signs Podcast! Episode 15 is all about our tips and tricks on how we strive to create a better work / life balance everyday. As Omar stated in this episode, “It’s not like there is one answer. You have to keep updating, and always revising the way you actually do things. But there are tips and tricks you can do to be at your most optimal.” Couldn’t have a better quote that sums up this episode the best. Concentrating on a work life balance in the form of functioning in your job, but also the importance of balanced nutrients, being active, and making time for your mental health and your mind. Especially being creators and being our own bosses, it can get really hard to create an on and off switch for thinking about and working on your business and your work.
We hope you enjoyed and found a little relativity to this episode. Listen to this conversation on all platforms, linked below.

Is it Better to Network in a Group vs. Individually? Welcome back to Beyond the Signs Podcast. Episode 14 features Omar and Kiera, comparing the pros and cons of networking in groups or individually. This topic also ties into the concept of mutually beneficial connections, and where that does and doesn’t work. Group networking ended up winning this conversation between us, with the pro that group networking can lead to finding your people within a bigger group, and then working with those people more individually. Obviously, needless to say, always be careful meeting up with anyone, especially anyone you’re meeting on the internet, which is another reason we concluded that group networking is the best all-around.

Should you take unpaid work, and when? Episode 12 of Beyond the Signs Podcast, we’re discussing our thoughts on unpaid work vs paid work, and the pros and cons of each. There’s room for each, in their own respects depending on where you are in your creative journey and career. We’re in a time where everyone is learning how to make money as entrepreneurs, business owners, and creatives. It’s important to know your worth as an artist and creative, in such a saturated and competitive market. However, if you’re still hustling and haven’t hit that point yet, we relate in different ways and that is where both types of work have benefits at different times.

As we dive into our 10th episode of Beyond the Signs, Kiera and Omar are discussing their thoughts on how to book consistent clients as a freelancer. On the contrary to episode 07 where we discuss how to book clients, this episode features many tips and tricks on how to book gigs consistently, not just one-off jobs. In this industry and its level of saturation, consistent clients might be a bit difficult to find, but is definitely a smart way to add a bit more stability to your career as a freelancer. We hope you are as excited as we are to be back, and that you find something helpful for your career and creative journey in today’s episode.

On this week’s episode of Beyond the Signs Podcast, Omar and Kiera discuss the key factors that go into how to price yourself as a freelancer or creative in the industry today. Talking through the topic of pricing yourself, and listing out the pros and cons of increasing your rates, can be a really clear cut way for you to see what you could potentially be charging, instead of always worrying about what the client will think when they hear that number. We hope that you learn something about pricing your work out in a way that’s most beneficial to you during this conversation, or even just gain some perspective from hearing our experiences.

What does it mean to “make it” as a creative? In this weeks special birthday episode of Beyond the Signs, Kiera and Omar sit down on Omar’s birthday to discuss the real definition of success. What does it truly mean to “make it” and can does the “peak” of one’s career, or success level, exist? A majority of the industry today tend to paint the picture of what a successful creative should look like, what gigs they should be getting, and how much money they should be making. But this discussion focuses on the fact that those things do not determine success and fulfillment, and the road to getting where you want to be, and how you get there, is what truly measures a successful creator, or any person for that matter. We hope you enjoy this week’s episode — and don’t forget to listen and rate Beyond the Signs Podcast on Spotify, linked below 👇🏼

Omar's Journey, Beyond the Signs Podcast Co-host Omar Hammouda is an architect/director/film maker based in New Jersey & NYC.
All started when I picked up the Nintendo 64 Game Console at the age of 6. I was quickly captivated with the capability that a game system could impact so many lives by simply playing it. That's where I learned 3D design, branched out into architecture, and obtained an architecture degree. Through architecture, I realized that the skills I mastered were the same skills that other designers and content creators also are skilled in. Filming and Photography was also a passion of mine since this journey of becoming a designer started. Which quickly became the starting blocks of my freelancing career. For the next two years, I would work with companies and brands who were starting or needed quality work to be done, through that process I became mastering the arts needed to develop apps, branding, and websites with compelling designs and images. I'm passionate about improving the lives of others through design.

Kiera's Journey, Beyond the Signs Podcast Co-host Kiera Lee is a photographer based in New Jersey & NYC. As a young teenager, Kiera discovered her love and passion for aesthetics and physical moments captured in time. She has been working for 6 years since to make this passion a real career. let it guide her as she learned more about whom she was becoming as a person, and synonymously, as an artist.
One’s journey as an artist is never over, and as of the few years, Kiera has expanded her field of vision towards collaborating with more and more musical artists, such as Machine Gun Kelly, Lil Mosey, Coi Leary and more. Her attention to detail in composition and editing has become a significant part of her style, and she continues to aspire to grow in all aspects of life through her art and inspire others to see the world in front of them as open and ever-changing. These are perspectives that brought Kiera and Omar together in creating a creator based podcast for people that have the same questions, and would benefit from listening to their various discussions as fellow creatives and share them in hopes of connecting their audience.
Despite living in LA briefly and still being bi-coastal, New York City has now become her base, as she continues to create her path as a music and editorial portrait photographer.
Kiera's work has been presented in a gallery in Brooklyn and showcased in a magazine in California.
