  • thank you, Gem!

    I regretfully didn’t have the opportunity to study photography for my college degree, despite knowing that this is what I’ve always wanted to do. I graduated feeling like I’d missed out on my biggest opportunity to learn about so many facets of image making, leaving my knowledge of the practice with so many gaps that I felt I could never cross. more

    Fantastic set of podcasts and exactly the sorts of conversations photography is needing right now, working my way though the wealth of them, giving 2 or 3 listens to each one. Great work as this is so needed, please keep these conversations going.
