Really enjoyed episode one - a thought provoking story. Can't wait for the next episode!
Jessica McDermott weaves you through stories with photographers, taking you behind the scenes of their process and the reality of making work. I love the podcast series, the conversations flow so easily, and some feel as though you are eavesdropping on friends catching up. More podcasts please!
I’ve been searching for a new photography podcast that isn’t “men talking about gear”. I stumbled upon Scenario and I listened to at least 4 episodes back to back while on a 4 hour road trip. Jessica - and her subject - take the listener on an in-depth journey into their process and lives.
As a female photographer who loves podcasts, how refreshing to come across one that is female-led! I am personally not a gearhead. I want to hear about what documentary photographers are working on more than I want to hear about how amazing the latest lens from Canon is! And learning about these photographers and documentary projects through Jessica McDermott's own 'lens' or 'filter' and her thoughts and questions is wondrous, informative, and insightful. Honestly, I felt skeptical about photogr... more
Beautifully produced and fascinating to listen to - I'm hooked
I listen to several photography podcasts and most of them are pretty dry. Whilst Scenario isn’t about the technical aspects of photography, it uses photography to tell some truely great stories! The narrative element of this podcast really stands out in the subtle and engrossing way they are told! Cant wait for season two.
Intriguing listen! Started on Ep 5 and was sceptical as a subject matter I know little about and covered people I don't know. But the detective work, personal narrative and twists in the tale drew me right in.
Really interesting and enjoyable listening telling you the stories behind photographers work.
Really enjoyed episode one - a thought provoking story. Can't wait for the next episode!
This was fascinating. It's a great idea for a podcast, and Clare's story in the first episode is beautifully told. Her project is so unusual and it's so interesting to hear the background to it and some of the ethical and creative challenges she's faced in the process
I thoroughly enjoyed the first episode of Scenario-a fascinating story told with such compelling imagery and real compassion. Looking forward to the next episode!
Can’t wait to hear more
