#150 Get in REAL close and tell the story! Dec 02, 2020

Show notes

David Butow, a Washington DC based photojournalist who made the decision to move to the capital purely because he wanted in on the Trump show. But away from the portraits he made of the president which was the focus of last week's story, today he talks about the pictures he makes in the field internationally, which are often of highly charged moments where how you feel, is a strong part of what you see. Getting in close, real close, is a key to making these stories.

#149 Photographing what you BELIEVE in Dec 01, 2020

Show notes

I've spent 2020 talking with and interviewing over a hundred photographers for this and the FujiCast podcast and if one thing has become clearer than looking through a sweet spot in a lens it's that I honestly now believe I can tell when someone is photographing as a 'business' and when someone is invested, not commercially, but emotionally in what they photograph. Today the first of our new style Tuesday and Thursday snapshot editions looks at this topic through the eyes of a photographer who never thought he'd be shooting weddings.

We talk about the stress and set up involved in photographing one of the most photographed leaders on the planet.

#144 The greatest passport is my camera Nov 25, 2020

Show notes

Charlene Winfred the nomadic street photographer and Fujifilm ambassador returns today for the second concluding part of her story, and we meander a little with our conversation.
