A short while ago Jay from The Photography Junkie reached out and kindly invited me onto his show to discuss a huge variety of topics spanning my entire career.
We spoke about my beginnings in the film era and how I failed to initially transition into digital. From here we discussed how although I had initially begun my career as a freelancer, the industry had changed so significantly around me thanks to the rise of digital cameras, that I failed to adapt accordingly. From here I took a break from photography and only got back into it as I worked long hours in a busy studio.
This was ironically the catalyst of the bright, bold and colourful style we see today as I fought against the somewhat traditional and boring high-key white background photography that was popular at the time.
As well as my career, we also spoke about my many other topics, including how I feel about more traditional education and its value over the ‘self-taught’ YouTube education many use today. Plus I spoke on the value of still using film in today's digital world, my process, my cameras and film stocks, as well as why I still love it.
