#130 More thinking, less gear talk Nov 05, 2020

Show notes

Sean Tucker is a photographer and YouTube film maker who would rather talk about the who than the why of making pictures. His films take a more philosophical approach to photography. There's certainly more thinking and less gear talk. I've chatted with Sean before back in episode five, but with lockdowns and restrictions dominating the creative scene of 2020, I thought we could probably do with some light photographic philosophising tonic? Projects, films, social media, YouTube; all subjects covered in today's and next week's Thursday editions.

#129 Empowering my daughter part 2 Nov 04, 2020

Show notes

Reuters photojournalist Darrin Zammit Lupi returns for the concluding part, to talk about a very personal project where he has photographed his daughter Rebecca's ongoing treatment for a rare form of bone cancer. Today we talk more about how the story was made, the editing of the work in terms of what was included and how it's changed Darrin as a photographer. We also learn more about Rebecca herself and talk about how she has inspired so many people through the Reuters Wider Image story.

#128 Empowering my daughter part 1 Nov 03, 2020

Show notes

Reuters photographer Darrin Zammit Lupi is no stranger to important news events; the South-East Asia tsunami tragedy, the refugee crisis during the war in Kosovo, the war in Libya, the Costa Concordia disaster, the Mediterranean refugees crisis. The moment we pick up a camera we have the ability to do good and important things; to record history, to make potent stories about life. For some people, some photographers, these are images that shape opinion, garner connection, even change lives. It's easy to think that to make such pictures, you need to be filing big international stories, when often the story is with us and all around us, and in this case within a room in a hospital with the most precious person in your life. Part 1 of a two parter called Empowering my Daughter.

#127 Covid? You're not beating me! Nov 02, 2020

Show notes

Denise Maxwell is my first guest of the week who had a defiant buoyant reply to the virus and lockdown in March and with England going into its second lockdown, does so again this time. There are some people, some photographers who have weathered the storm first time round and are ready to do so again, who will investigate every avenue of opportunity no matter how slight. Covid? You're not beating me. You're not beating us!

#125 Friday Photowalk: Stealing Sheep! Oct 30, 2020

Show notes

With Halloween weekend beckoning, Neale begins this photowalk edition in a place named Coombe Gibbet atop Gallows Down, a grisly lonely 'tourist attraction' in southern England. We talk about our fascination over having to own the latest released gear, the question tables are turned on the presenter, there's news about the show, a listener survey, how to escape a bear and there's a mail from a camera?! Also more on this weekend's Megasode and one lucky winner for a pair of LOWA Boots.

#124 It's crazy, it's dangerous, but I have to photograph it! Oct 29, 2020

Show notes

Australian photojournalist Cameron Neville talks about why photography means so much to him even in the face of danger. 'Cam' has been featured internationally for his work as a firefighter AND photographer, making pictures of the wild, savage, brutal fires that rip through the Australian bush and of late, whole communities and even the rain forests of the country. We talk about the delicate ecology of this beautiful country in the first part of this two part story.

The show is supported by MPB.com helping you buy, sell and trade used camera gear across Europe and the US.

#123 Animal photojournalism. Why should I care? Oct 28, 2020

Show notes

The concluding part of my discussion with animal rights campaigner, speaker and photographer/animal photojournalist Jo-Anne McArthur and writer, photojournalist, editor Keith Wilson about the book HIDDEN, Animals of the Anthropocene. It is an unflinching book of photography about our conflict with non-human animals around the globe. We talk of how people have and continue to 'turn their heads' in the face of awkward questions about the animals we eat, wear, use as entertainment, test upon and slaughter in the name of custom or religion.

#122 How to shoot news in 2020 Oct 27, 2020

Show notes

An agency that has been providing news content for 40 years, I think Paul Walters, former news photographer, now leading the line at SWNS today, returns for his second instalment and is a strong candidate for helping us understand the place of a photographer in news today. What is the role of a news agency, what qualities do you need to be a contributing professional photographer and is citizen photojournalism changing the shape of how the industry works?

He talks also about his celebrated work, Edges of the Rainbow, a 192 page portrait photo book on contemporary LGBTQ culture and activism in Japan.

#120 Friday Photowalk: "You wanna get a 'Lycra' mate!" Oct 23, 2020

Show notes

The South Downs forms the backdrop to today's photowalk edition, just you, me and our cameras plus some words from the mailbag.
