#5 Sean Tucker gentle giant of YouTube FOCUS EDITION Apr 07, 2019

Show notes

YouTube. That's where I turn for this episode. It's tentacular nature is fantastical, photography and film making being a subject matter that is popular on the platform. One of the UK's rising YouTubers in this genre is a talented photographer called Sean Tucker. I find out what makes his channel so different and how he has succeeded, retaining his integrity and making unique philosophical photographic film content.

#4 Cam Neville firefighting photojournalist FOCUS EDITION Feb 19, 2019

Show notes

Today's guest is a special breed of photojournalist. Though he'd be brisk to point out he's no hero; that those he photographs and the conditions he makes photographs in is what should draw you to his work, Australian photographer Cam Neville has been making news of late for the very real and stark pictures he presents of those in the front line fighting the continent's ferocious bush fires.

#3 Giles Penfound the conflict of photography FOCUS EDITION Aug 23, 2018

Show notes

In today's FOCUS EDITION, meet Giles Penfound, former head of press photography for the British Army. Early in 2017 I made a film with Giles and during the cast you'll hear him make reference to the photographs that he shows within that film. If it weren't for his graphic description of the images, this episode may just have resided as that film, but the ability to transpose this to sound only is testament to how Giles describes his life as a photographer.

#2 Steve Shipman on celebs and weddings FOCUS EDITION Jul 21, 2018

Show notes

I first met the photographer Steve Shipman in 2013. He was attending a photography workshop I was hosting about still images and sound combined, ironically. I'd been shooting professionally less than a decade. He'd been photographing for considerably more time. He was the ninth name to book on and I made a note about him; 'Very proficient photographer, really nice chap too.' Meet Steve Shipman, one of the most generous photographers I have had the pleasure to know.

#1 Tom Stoddart on famine and war FOCUS EDITION Jul 15, 2018

Show notes

Tom Stoddart is my guest in this first Focus Edition for Photography Daily. Known and respected widely as one of the world's most respected photojournalists, his photographs of conflict and unrest, famine and pivotal historical moments such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, the election of President Mandela, and the siege of Sarajevo undeniably shaped and still form public opinion. The documentary opens, and closes in fact, where it all began for him decades ago; a small fishing village in Northumberland, an unlikely and very peaceful part of the country to inspire such a rich photographic career when you consider the places my guest has travelled and the scenes he has witnessed before his lens. If photojournalism is a genre that inspires you, then this episode unravels some of the skills and attributes believed to be paramount to assume such an important legacy career in photographic story making.
