Ep. 228: I love it when a plan comes together

On this weeks show we try to put our newly inspired good planning habits to practice and have a carefully prepared for 1 Hour Shoot! Sadly, no amount of planning can keep away the lurgy, which struck down both Clare and Rachel, but luckily John and Graeme were joined by three awesome listeners; John-Micheal Mendizza, Billy Sanford and Nick Marshall, who all took part in the challenge as well. And even though Clare couldn't be with us on the night, the next night she gave it a go and recorded som...

Ep. 227: Film for the Good Times, Digital for the Day Job

On this weeks show, John Clare and Graeme are joined by professional photographer and artist Craig Fleming to talk about how his rekindled love of shooting film not only inspired his personal photography, but also helped him find more work, and helped keep his passion for photography alive when work threatened to drag it down.

Ep. 226: Planning To Succeed

On this weeks show, Rachel and Clare give the hapless Graeme an insight into the kind of planning and preparation that goes into a successful shoot, exhibition, event or whatever it may be - turns our it's a lot! Given how little time many of us have to actually take pictures, we hope a chat about how to get the most from that time will be useful. As part of this we've also decided that in two weeks, on December the 17th, we're going to attempt another one hour challenge, but this time we're all...

Ep. 211: Wanted: Infinite Bursary OR Access to a Pencil Factory

It's a late night Friday ramble with John and Graeme this week where we chat about what we'd do if all constraints on our ability to take pictures were removed, and whether or not it would be a help or a hindrance in producing good pictures. What conclusions did we arrive at? None really, other than the fact that an being given money to make art sounds pretty great, even if it wouldn't necessarily make for better art. You've been warned!...
