Tales, techniques, tricks and tantrums from one of the UK’s top portrait photographers. Never just about photography but always about things that excite - or annoy - me as a full-time professional photographer, from histograms to history, from apertures to apathy, or motivation to megapixels. Essentially, anything and everything about the art, creativity and business of portrait photography. With some off-the-wall interviews thrown in for good measure!

Ep.46 Interview: David Bostock, Wedding Photographer
Sunday Apr 28, 2019
Sunday Apr 28, 2019
This episode was recorded in the hotel lobby at The Societies Convention 2019, so forgive the background noise (and the unexpected accompaniment of a random pianist!) I am interviewing the incredible wedding photographer and all-round nice guy, David Bostock.
We talk about all things photography, saxophone playing, the importance of pursuing the image and the strategy of always selling albums.
David also mentions his favourite photographers (Bob Carlos Clarke and Horst P. Horst) and his favourite book Clarke's The Dark Summer.

Ep.45 Photography Judges Should Not Be Rude
Monday Apr 15, 2019
Monday Apr 15, 2019
It's just me this episode, wittering away about the week that's been and something that was raised during a recent presentation to a camera club: that photography judges can be pretty rude. And I don't think it's right or proper that this is the case: judges should be polite, constructive, inspiring, entertaining and, most of all, supportive.
During this episode, I also mention the announcement of The 2 Fellows Workshop - details for the 2020 workshop in Graphistudio's Castello Ceconi can be found at www.the2fellows.co.uk. We'd love to see you there!

Ep.44 Interview: Scott Johnson, The Edge Photography
Sunday Apr 07, 2019
Sunday Apr 07, 2019
So it's been a week or three since recording a podcast primarily due to being out on location in Italy co-hosting The 2 Fellows workshop with David Stanbury (shameless plug: if you'd like details of the 2020 workshop then head over to the2fellows.co.uk where we'll be releasing details for next year.)
In this podcast, I get to chat (in a VERY loud restaurant) to the inimitable wedding photographer, Scott Johnson, about his work, his history and his business. Lots of great things in here - listen out for how selling files on USB nearly cost him his business (his words, not mine.)
Also listen out for a cacophony of culinary sound effects in the background!
Scott mentions a couple of books in the podcast:
Both these books are well worth a read - I'm ordering them for our studio library!
Enjoy!
