#118 The 'invisible animals' photographed for HIDDEN Oct 21, 2020

Show notes

What are the hidden animals? Jo-Anne McArthur, award winning photojournalist, animal rights activist, author, and Keith Wilson, writer, photo editor and journalist join me for the first of three serialised episodes to talk about one of the most important books I personally think I'll purchase as a, well, not simply photographer, but as a human. HIDDEN, Animals in the Anthropocene, is a real, at times harrowing, at times hopeful and always very honest account of our actual relationship with the invisible animals in our lives.

#114 Do your pictures show depth, soul and authenticity? Oct 15, 2020

Show notes

Chris Orwig returns for the second in this three parter. A professional photographer, mentor, teacher, speaker, Chris talks about the power a photograph has when it's 'authentic', and I, with his help try to unpick what this secret ingredient is when making a portrait in particular.

#113 A change of life, by design Oct 14, 2020

Show notes

James Brittain changed the pace of his life from news photojournalism to architectural photography and is now recognised as a multi award winning international exponent of his craft. Many genres of photography require the photographer to gather quickly, however, this, is a world where time slows and if there were ever a photographic occupation focused upon quality over quantity, this would be it.

#112 Shot, bombed, punched, arrested. Still the best job! Oct 13, 2020

Show notes

Press Association photographer Niall Carson returns for the final part in his mini series to talk about the excitement and enjoyment the job still brings him, despite being shot, bombed, punched and arrested! It seems it's all in a day's work. He also talks about the mental health pressures of photojournalism, his favourite news photograph and a forthcoming book.

#111 Do what you love Oct 12, 2020

Show notes

Laird Kay is an aviation photographer. He makes extraordinary pictures of aircraft, often helping them to take on a living animal like existence, crafting unique angles to bring these man made machines to life. His career started in this very niche industry by embracing a suggestion we often moot as creatives; do what you love. A self confessed aircraft geek, there is not doubt he has found the correct 'flightpath' in life.
