A camera is just a tool, but spend enough time with photographers, and you’ll see them go misty-eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small, fast prime that they had in their youth.

Prime Lenses is a series of interviews with photographers talking about their photography by way of three lenses that mean a lot to them. These can be interchangeable, attached to a camera, integrated into... more

Iain has a wonderful way of drawing out insightful answers and leads the subjects down a great conversation. I’m very impressed with the guests who are featured too! They have suc... more

    Iain’s non-pretentious attitude towards photography and photographers makes this an easy to listen podcast. With regular episodes and even bonus mid-week episodes, it’s current and very much relevant.

Don’t ask a guest a question and include in that question what you think the answer is going to be from them because we are then left with something ... more
