  • Tough listening experience

    Really wish this podcast host wouldn’t insert himself so deeply into the conversation and make every response about him. If you’re going to have a guest on who has extremely valuable knowledge to share, don’t make the conversation centred around your own practice and opinions. I couldn’t even make it through five minutes of an episode with a guest that I really wanted to listen to because I felt like I was only learning about the host.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

185 - Tintypes, Roller Derby, and Rewriting Photography's Power Dynamics
Q: It is an eight. What is the worst advice you've ever received regarding photography?
The worst advice was to use my legal name as my identifier; adopting a non-gender-specific name increased exhibitions and open calls, showing that authenticity and practicality can trump convention.
183 - Serendipity, Trust, and the Humanity Behind Every Photograph
Q: You've worked in more than 40 countries; how do you build trust with strangers to get honest portraits?
Be honest about why you want to photograph someone, show genuine curiosity and respect, and be willing to share a bit of yourself to create a human connection that invites trust.
175 - Art Comes From the Soul: Analog, AI, and Authentic Portraits
Q: How do you approach balancing film and digital in portrait work to maintain timelessness?
Film provides a grounded sense of energy and personality, while digital offers flexibility; using both allows you to capture energy and texture with film and then refine or expand capabilities digitally, aiming for a look that remains timeless rather than overly polished.
175 - Art Comes From the Soul: Analog, AI, and Authentic Portraits
Q: What is the best photographic advice you've ever received and how has it shaped your work?
Shoot what you love and focus on what you can sustain over time; grounding yourself in passion helps you persevere through difficult shoots and keeps your work authentic, especially when navigating celebrity interactions.
172 - The Power of Black & White: Your Photo Archive Through the Monochrome Lens
Q: Worst advice you've had regarding photography or running a business?
The idea of quitting your day job to become a full-time photographer too early, based on a few good gigs, is poor guidance that can lead to unsustainable paths.
