  • Excellent podcast

    I have listened to lots of podcasts and I find that the photography pod is one of the best. Nick and Steve get some great people to talk about their photography. Such interesting people doing some fascinating work, and they all talk so passionately about what they do. Keep it up guys, great work.

  • Unlistenable

    The audio quality is so poor that it is too difficult to listen to, which is a shame, as much of the content is interesting. Internet compression, delay and echo, along with poor recording techniques prevent what could be a good podcast coming anywhere near its potential. Easily fixable though, so hopefully this will be the case.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Photographs? Neil Selkirk on Arbus, AI and the Art of Seeing
Q: In your view, is that a good thing? Does that make the things that we've just been talking about for the last 30 minutes, are they even more so because everybody has a camera now or are there some concerns there?
Selkirk says the ubiquity of phone cameras is simply a reality to embrace. He cites Richard Avedon's view that everyone has a life, sensibility and cause to express, as well as a camera.
Why Photographs? Neil Selkirk on Arbus, AI and the Art of Seeing
Q: How much of her photography is down to what she saw, what she took in the camera, and how much of it is down to what she, and then you subsequently were able to print from that negative as well?
Selkirk says his task was to reproduce Arbus's prints as closely as possible, not to add his own aesthetic choices. He studied her methods and repeatedly adjusted the darkroom chemistry until the prints matched.
Two Photographers, One Wedding – with Murray McMillan & Lawrence Scott
Q: Where do you see the collaboration going in the next three to four years?
Murray is considering growing his photography business and doing more video, while acknowledging the strain of fitting weddings and editing around his fire service shifts. Lawrence says he is uncertain about his future workload and has previously felt jaded by wedding photography.
Two Photographers, One Wedding – with Murray McMillan & Lawrence Scott
Q: What made you start working together?
Lawrence first second-shot for Murray at a December wedding after Murray needed another photographer. Their friendship and complementary approaches developed into a regular partnership, and couples now sometimes ask for Lawrence specifically.
IWPOTY- Wedding Photography Awards with Luke Simon
Q: What happens if a submitter uses watermarks or other identifying marks?
