  • Food and medicine for the photographer's soul -update

    This podcast helps ground me in my photography. In a craft that demands keeping up with technique and technology, it is easy to lose perspective.

  • Not sure this is useful.

    Photography includes a lot of different specialities (portrait, landscape, street, macro…). It’s not because you know one that you know the others as this podcast unfortunately demonstrates, like many others. Please talk only about what you really know. Or invite people who know.
