EP122 Fireworks and Finding Freedom In The Studio
EP120 Service Is King, No Matter The Price
EP119 Everyone Included: Interview With Author Helen May
If there is one skill I have, it’s recognising an opportunity when it bops me on the nose. Today was one of those moments. Helen May actually came to the studio to update her headshots but the minute we sat ...
EP118 Admit It. Own It. Fix It.
It’s 2022 and I have to say it’s starting off in a very positive mood! Admittedly New Year didn’t go quite to plan, thanks to Covid and family injury, but other than that all good. And besides, my Nikon Z9 has...
EP117 Interview With Grays Of Westminster
Well, this is the last episode of 2021. Unless I find a moment to drag myself away from the turkey, pigs in blankets, roast potatoes, cheese, Quality Street, sherry, wine, stuffing, more turkey, more cheese an...
EP116 Suck, Squeeze, Bang, Blow: Your Business Is An Engine
Suck, squeeze, bang, blow: four words that drive an engine. OK, so maybe an obtuse analogy but a business is much like a power unit – once it’s running, it doesn’t take too much to keep...
EP115 On Why Mirrorless Is About To Come Of Age – The Nikon Z9
So it’s Sunday as I both record and write this and I’m having a frankly chilled day. Not that this is in any way your worry, but I thought I’d tell you. This episode is a rebuttal of my own grumpy podcast (EP1...
EP114 On Why The Studio Is NOT A Dull White Box
When I first set out in this crazy, camera-carrying career, I had mixed views about working in the studio – I much preferred being outside in natural light with the environment as my backdrop. Over the years, ...
EP113 On Moving To Mirrorless
Switching to a mirrorless system was always going to happen – SLRs (and their requisite mirrors) are slowly heading the same way as film, dark rooms, Black Forest gateaux, prawn cocktail and sandals with socks. ...
EP112 Interview With Julia Fensom, Sleep Consultant And Author
I knew this would be an entertaining podcast and so it proved to be: Julia Fensom, author of With Sleep I Can Do Anything: The First Year – A Manual is always funny, energetic and full of ideas. So this interv...
There’s pod casts and there’s this series of podcast. There’s rarely and now a word from our sponsors or click here there and every ware.is it a polished well edited show well background noises of dropped glasses and cleaners in bars or tenders winched on ships or spontaneous comments on other road users say it’s not polished but real chats. I love the interviews he’s done with people in the industry there not pushing products but informing you about them. I like the insights into family life the funny and hard bits it feels like I have listened to the… Read more »
Thank you so much James – that’s really kind of you! 🙂
Just found your podcast, and I really enjoyed the few episodes I have listened to so far. Truly, other than the History of Photography 101, it is the first photography podcast I have been able to make it through one whole episode, let alone multiple episodes….it resonates with me….have just had a cursory look at the website and I look forward to exploring it!
Thank you so much Teri! When I started the podcast it was just me an’ a microphone as a way of talking about the stresses of running a portrait photography business. Funnily enough it’s still just me an’ a microphone…
It’s still a surprise that people seem to enjoy it and I am so happy that it’s useful. Thank thank, thank you, thank you for your lovely feedback!
So it had to happen. After all, remember “Downton Abbey” and “Game of Thrones”? My strategy has always been to give a program/blog/podcast a few years to prove itself and then jump in and binge watch years of content. But then it comes to an end…I’m caught up and have to wait for the next episode like, well, “common people”. I’m 72 and I don’t wait really well. After months of having Paul Wilkinson accompany me on my morning walk, I miss the guy. It didn’t make any difference if it was just us with Paul musing on his… Read more »
Robert that is the nicest review of the podcast ever! Thank you! I am trying to keep the episodes coming, but, well, real life and dealing with the lockdown have slowed things a little. New episodes coming though! Hang on in there and thank you again!
