![Ep.53 Interview With Chris Cooze, Hasselblad]()
July 4, 2019
In this episode, I get to to sit and chat with Chris Cooze, Technical Communications & Training Manager at Hasselblad. It has been a real pleasure for me to have both the Hasselblad X1D and H6D for a couple of months here at the studio and it was Chris, along with Hasselblad's European Marketing Manager, Mark Witney, who came to the studio to help me get the most out of the kit. Who knows, maybe we'll add medium format to the capability here for our studio portraits!
In the interview, we chat about life, the universe (well, the moon anyway) and the future of medium format.
Chris is a lovely guy and an accomplished photographer in his own right, as well as being Hasselblad's technical go-to person, and his own work can be found on his personal website.
As we build our little photographer's library, Chris recommends Patrick Demarchelier during the interview. He has a vast back-catalogue of fashion images so this link takes you to Abe Books and lists the titles he has available there. Enjoy!

![Ep.48 Mark Seymour, Documentary Photographer]()
May 14, 2019
In this podcast it is an absolute joy to interview the fantastic documentary photographer, Mark Seymour. Mark has spent many years at the top of the wedding profession but is equally at home (maybe more at home these days) creating iconic street documentary images - so much so that images are featured in the National Geographic magazine.
In the interview we talk about many aspects of life, the job and family and Mark's disaster one fateful day when a concerned wedding venue had to call to ask him why he hadn't yet arrived!
As an avid collector of books, Mark mentions three in particular (though the titles here are not quite as he recalls):
- Contact Sheets, Magnum (one that we have featured previously)
- The Life Of A Photograph by Sam Abell (during the podcast, Mark refers to this as "Two Shots" which may have been an overseas title of the book - at least, I couldn't find any reference to a book of that name but, given Mark's description, this appears to be the correct one.)
- The World from My Front Porch by Larry Towell
These links go to abebooks.co.uk which has a vast range of titles available and is noticeably cheaper than Amazon!
If you're interested in attending one of Mark's incredible Street Photography courses, details can be found here.

I am frequently asked to advise on what would I buy if I started from scratch so, as I drink a last coffee (decaf of course!) before heading out to shoot a glorious, sunny wedding, I ponder on those initial purchases: what and why. And it includes good shoes. Who knew?
