Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

253: Brian Matthews
Q: What makes underwater puffin photography challenging and rewarding?
He describes the technical and physical demands of diving with decoys, managing gear in rough seas, and the unique behavior of puffins underwater that makes the images stand out.
253: Brian Matthews
Q: How did you evolve to photographing seabirds and underwater work?
He explains that birds were his passion from a young age, travels and experiences shaped his approach to offbeat, location-specific subjects, and a long-term focus on deep, context-rich imagery rather than quick, typical shots.
252: Richard Campion
Q: What motivates you to continue investing in one-on-one workshops alongside group tours?
One-on-one sessions offer tailored guidance, flexibility, and a deeper, more personal learning experience, while group tours provide scale and shared adventure.
252: Richard Campion
Q: Why did you decide to start sharing RAW files openly, and how has that affected your audience's understanding of editing and post-processing?
To be transparent about the editing process, show how much is in camera, and demonstrate that even final edits can be traced back to the RAW image, reducing misconceptions about AI and heavy post-processing.
252: Richard Campion
Q: Has that experience been a core part of your business from the beginning, or did it evolve into a grander experience over time?
It evolved from local one-on-one work into larger tours and a more holistic experience, including catering, hospitality, and a sense of holiday for clients.
