Today you have just myself to listen to! So in this one find out:
Street candy update Kirklees photographic a few messages from guests why I'm stoppingI wanted to say for anyone reading the notes, it's been a great 3 years of my life doing this. I've thoroughly enjoyed speaking with people around the globe and meeting so many friends. Each one has meant so much and I've learned from so many and hope you are proud of who I'm becoming.
I could never have envisaged this change happening, but after the changes discussed in the podcast you can understand why.

Thanks for all the fish.

My name is Andrew Walmsley and your listening to episode 173 of photography insights. This is the show that interviews people from the photography world.
Today we get to catch up with Ethan Moses from Cameradactyl. I hadn't spoken to Ethan since November 2019 but always followed his work. When he was running a recent project I couldn't help but be interested. Ethan has been playing with "afghan" cameras as they call them, huge 20x24 bits of technology. Not only that but he's been using the ra4 process to make his own version of instant positive prints!
Ethan's personality always shines through, a man who can't stop playing and inventing. So in this one listen out for:

My name is Andrew Walmsley and your listening to episode 172 of photography insights. This is the show that interviews people from the photography world.
Today we get to talk about documentary photography and about subject that is worth you knowing about. When I first approached Matilde Simas about her work I was interested in her approach and how she worked given the difficult subject. So to better explain Matilde is a documentary photographer from Boston in the USA. Matilde is a graduate of psychology, a humanitarian (founded Capture Humuanity which we discuss) , parent and photographer. The work is all about human rights and has had her work across galleries around the world.
Matilde herself is a lovely person and the work is about careful thought of representing this subject matter, It's been achieved with some class, dignity and respect of the survivors of trafficking. Trafficking is one of the subjects we have heard about but don't always know much about. There maybe some sad parts to the interview as it's pretty emotional stuff hearing about this, but I urge you to carry on.
You can see more of her work and the countries she has been to on her website and this will provide a better focus of the problems in that area. It's not something that is happening in third world countries either, it happens everywhere as you will hear!
We also approach the topic of the Massai warriors and female genital modification too, which again is another human right issue in many countries. Having choice is not always clear or straight forward, despite the health concerns.
So in this one:

My name is Andrew Walmsley and your listening to episode 171 of photography insights. This is the show that interviews people from the photography world.
For this episode we jump across the ocean to Japan and talk with Shin Yatagai. He's another young photographer with some beautiful work behind him. Initially a recommend by the one and only Johan Brooks from episode 158. Shin's work is about attention to detail rather lens sharpness or quality. He finds a concept, plans and executes this work with an artistic flair. I have to thank Shin for speaking in English too, considering he only lived in the UK for a year and doesn't speak very often.
I really enjoyed talking to Shin, he's down to earth and shy but very creative. He even speaks freely about living with ADHD and how he copes with his photography. We had some laughs and discussed:

My name is Andrew Walmsley and your listening to episode 170 of photography insights. This is the show that interviews people from the photography world.
Today I'm bringing you a longer interview, it's mainly because Steve articulates so well I didn't want to remove much from our chat. Steve Dunwell was recommended by the lovely Lou Jones so naturally I had to look at his work. He comes from the Boston region of America too, but shoots aerial and architecture work. It's a very different field to most and due to the nature of the work very different!
It's really intriguing talking to someone who just hops on a plane or helicopter with someone after thinking about an idea. Sometimes it's not about working for clients, but a project or picture he has in mind. Steve has many decades experience in the industry so seen a lot of changes and adopted these in his work. In the last 5 years he has used the DJI range of drones to further increase the style of work he can create.
So in this one we discuss:

My name is Andrew Walmsley and your listening to episode 169 of photography insights. This is the show that interviews people from the photography world.
Today it's a slightly shorter show than usual and one of the catch up's I discussed about last year. There will be more of these over the coming months but will spread them out. This one features Andrew Sanderson from the UK, who was last on the show back in episode 66! So I thought it would be nice to near what Andrew's worked on over the last couple of years.
Andrew is the infamous Ilford darkroom master who has helped many people. He is caring and knowledgeable person and often found helping us newbie's out on Facebook groups. He recently started a new business and has launched a new Instagram at the same time. He's offering a creative approach to printing. So instead of offering a straight lab print, if you allow him, he will provide his own artistic interpretation. I think it's a great idea and already he's seeing some interest in this idea.
In this one we discuss:

My name is Andrew Walmsley and your listening to episode 168 of photography insights. This is the show that interviews people from the photography world.
Welcome to the latest show everyone, this one features an artist from the New Hampshire region in the USA. Paula from the Griffin put a post about Zachary Stephens work, so naturally I had to check it out. After looking through his and his website we arranged to get him to talk to us.
Zach is a really lovely guy, a husband, father, educator and artist. It's really nice to see Zach working with his children on his "are we there yet" project. This one really drew my attention being a father myself and couldn't help but laugh at some of his scenes. As any dad will tell you, if you have girls at some point they will be cutting your hair and applying make up to you! I hope you find time to check the links and laugh too at the photography.
We also find time to talk about his "watching the ice melt" series too, which has been exhibited, another interesting take on the world and light. Zach has also covered another unusual project too, involving breastfeeding. It's a very authentic, tastefully shot series of portraits with mothers for Vermont local health authority.
So watch out for these areas today:

My name is Andrew Walmsley and your listening to episode 167 of photography insights. This is the show that interviews people from the photography world.
I'm pleased to introduce you all to a photographer from San Francisco called Nicole Morrison. Nicole specialises in food and drink,as well as lifestyle photography. When you come across her work you are drawn in by the colours and happy vibe. It's not a simple thing to create and has taken practise. We talk about how she has adopted to freelancing in to the world after leaving university. Nicole is a happy and smiling type of person and loves writing too.
I came across her work through Lenscratch as she had done some interesting work with GIF's. The project about makers was really interesting and drew me in, it's so nice to see people using their hands in this age of technology and especially considering her local area (Silicon Valley).
So in this one we discussed:

My name is Andrew Walmsley and your listening to episode 166 of photography insights. This is the show that interviews people from the photography world.
Welcome to 2022 everybody, happy new year. It will be interesting to see what this year brings. Sorry the slack service recently I decided to take time off and relax (literally no photography at all). Podcast schedule should return to normal soon, so just bear with me if there are any gaps.
I'm pleased to present this weeks guest is Kathrin Federer from Switzerland. I had been following her for some time on Instagram and her work was so stunning, so got in touch. Kathrin is actually a digital artist, so it was interesting to see and hear her talk about her approach to creating images. It's not a full time engagement for her as she works in media, but never the less, a fabulous talent. She works with companies and people like Adobe so keep a look out for her work.
In this one we discuss:

My name is Andrew Walmsley and your listening to episode 165 of photography insights. This is the show that interviews people from the photography world.
Over the last few years I have always wanted to do a christmas special which would have to be different. After rummaging around my mind I finally came up with a plan and invited a couple of analogue shooting friends on to the show. So this will break off for the normal interview style and will focus on the world of analogue and christmas obviously.
I'm pleased to invite Eoghan Hennessey (prounounced Owen) and of course I messed that up several times. Also from the world of silvergrain and film we have the esteemed Christopher Osborne. Both guests are great film shooters, active in our UK film group but also fun to talk to, hence why they are here.
If you are ready for the show, it's themed around the 3 ghosts, past; present and the future, meaning we all cover an element each. So we will be talking about what we miss, what we want and expect in the future!
Not only that but Eoghan and Christopher have agreed to take part in my barmy christmas quiz too - it's a bit of my usual type questions with some sensible ones too. It's a lot of fun so do listen for that.

My name is Andrew Walmsley and your listening to episode 164 of photography insights. This is the show that interviews people from the photography world.
One day I was sending hello messages to people that had recently followed me on Instagram. I usually check out their images and websites, so I can decide if I'm going to follow their work. As you imagine I follow a lot of people and try to keep a small number of close people to engage with. After Emilio Cresciani followed me I was intrigued and after seeing his projects I messaged him through Instagram and here we are!
Emilio is an artist from Australia who sees beauty in elements all around us. It was fun talking to Emilio for his laid back personality as you will soon find out. He's a caring person too who teaches people with disabilities and worked in care previously as well. What's even more interesting is his project based work - like "remains of the day". A great project looking at waste and how humans are affecting this world.
When talking about his oil slicks, we are looking at what comes out the ground is driping back in to the ground. Don't get me started on his car screen's too, buying over 30 of these and making art out of these. Honestly he's able to see patterns and something interesting and use different photography processes to make art. As we finish the conversation we talk about awards and competitions, then finally memories of his grandad.
So in this one look out for:
- recycle + waste
- negative consequences
- metallic paper
- shooting roadside
- rain
- safety glass
- iphone vs photograms
- making a lightbox
- working with ice

Review
You may have seen on social media recently, I posted the latest iTunes review. It certainly made me laugh its a pretty bad one but everyone is entitled to an opinion so here goes.
"Don’t bother"
Worst interviewer in history. Mumbles. Interrupts. Wouldn’t know an intelligent question if it fell on him.All I can say is, whatever you are doing now, just stop. Go leave a review and help me cancel this out. I can handle criticism, but we all know the statements are incorrect. I'm not the worst interviewer, just one of them, oh well you have to laugh.

My name is Andrew Walmsley and your listening to episode 163 of photography insights. This is the show that interviews people from the photography world.
This interview is one I had been really looking forward to as well, so let me tell you why. First of Lou Jones was recommended by Paula Tognarelli and as the ex-head at Griffin museum, she knows a talent when she sees one. So after reaching out we had a brief chat weeks before the discussion you will hear. Lou is such an interesting guy and time just flew by, so I apologise for the length of this one. I was going to split in to 2 episodes but seemed stupid so take your time with this one. It was actually too hard to cut, the beginning of our chat lay the foundations for who Lou is and we escalate through his career and experiences (through still film and the digital world).
The thing is Lou has worked for many big names like Time/Life, National Geographic and other Fortune 500 companies, he's wrote many books, travelled and taught. It's practically impossible to cover so much variety and its ever changing. Even though we didn't get chance to talk about it, his next project is so important - thats the PanAfricaProject, so do check out his work.
So we get to talk about life, cinematography like Bladerunner and Dune, and how they effect our photography. We move in to the life and times of being a black photographer, from getting noticed to maintaining a career. It's a long career shooting with text book publishers, advertisers, models, the Olympics (winter and summer) to musicians. Not only that but we discuss how important his Death Row series was to him as a person and his career. You need to listen to this as it's a rare thing to gain access to death row inmates.
Lou is a fabulous, fun and well spoken guy, so lets hope we see him again in the future. For now here a list of a few points we come across:

My name is Andrew Walmsley and your listening to episode 162 of photography insights. This is the show that interviews people from the photography world.
Once again we head to the big apple for our next guest, someone from the world of film, the darkroom, education and travels. It's a great pleasure to talk with someone whose work has been exhibited around San Francisco, New York and New Orleans. Peter Kayafas teaches at the Pratt Institute in New York but is also the director of Eakins Press and involved in other photography related boards. I wanted to talk with Peter as he travels around the US and manages to make prints and monographs of his work usually in the form of books. I mean you can't beat a good photography book so do check out the links.
Peter has vast experience with teaching but also with shooting and darkroom too, so much he was in the darkroom with his dad around 2-3 years of age! It was interesting to talk about his projects which are "the way west", "totems" which is about links to the past; "people in new york". The people of New York stands out in the sense he even made 36" square prints on aluminium for this exhibition - imagine that! The last one we discuss is "coney island waterdance" which he shot during the 1990's about the polar bear club.
So in this one listen out for:

As many of you know I love shooting architecture, there is something that draws me in. After following a few photographers I have tried encouraging them to come on the show. but it's tough in this field. I see a lot of international artist so appreciate speaking about your work is not easy. Well that changed and pleased to introduce Richard Chivers to you all. Richard is from the UK and not only loves architecture, but shoots this genre professionally too. What's also interesting is although he's a digital shooter, Richard loves 5x4 too, so a lot of his personal work was shot with his large format.
A talented man who works all over shooting some stunning buildings for architects. This work has led him to personal projects too as part of some collectives too. The projects like degeneration and off grid are all about the history of architecture in the UK and how its a changing landscape. From the 1950's social housing to Victorian engineering and modern sky scrapers, we cover it all! Some of this work has been shot in cities like Glasgow, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Portsmouth, Southampton,Sheffield, Liverpool and Birmingham.
So in this one look out for:

Today I talk with a fellow countryman and even has the same name, so 2 Andrew's for the price of one - bargain! Some of you film fans will know Andrew Bartram from his podcasting - on both the "lensless podcast" or the "large format photography podcast". He is one of those genuine souls you find the in community who doesn't mind helping anyone. After working in the same industry for 40 years Andrew felt like a change and now he's spending some time teaching others through the "Fenland Darkroom". Personally I think its a fab thing to do and he's hitting a group of people that often miss out - so listen out why.
He has experience with various types of film, cameras up to large format, different processes like tin types and decades in the darkroom. Andrew is frequently found on social media helping out and blogging too.
So in this one we talk about:

Recently i've had some annual leave from the day job so been in the darkroom. It's been great to be back and playing around with ideas. I would never know how to classify my work or what I do. I have a liberal approach to my art, sure this is science but most of it is experimenting. Recently I have played with perspectives, tried montage/mirroring, used blue some dye and old paper. This weeks guest has got me thinking too, so let's see.
I'm pleased to say my film washi project has now completed too - this is the one that involved the smallest film company in the world and a 72 exposure camera. It was a lot of fun sending this off to random people around the UK and France. Of course we were delayed by covid so it's taken a little time. Anyway watch out for an article soon on this.

My name is Andrew Walmsley and your listening to episode 159 of photography insights. This is the show that interviews people from the photography world.
This weeks show I'm proud to showcase an artist from the US whose work I came across through lenscratch. The images are really nice and it's about a subject i love - well sort of. So we talk with Kristin Bedford from Los Angeles who has worked on something called "cruise night". Cruise night was something that stood out for me. It’s been mentioned in so many outlets around the world! The project is about the mexican/californian lowrider community (cars that have been lowered) so although it's about cars in theory its not really. 2 years in the making but Kristin's book is now available so watch out for the link in the show notes, your welcome to treat me to a copy too!
Another project of Kristin's is called "perfect picture" where she spent 5 weeks at the house of the father divine, A man considered god by his followers and we are talking about a black person during the 1930’s! I think its very respectful the way Kristin works and shoots, so please do check out her images.
We also talk about a project about what I would call pop up shop front churches. Its all about slavery and religion, so very important documentary work. Finally we finish on "Alvarado street" about the people in the area and Kristin’s roots in street photography.
In this one we talk about:

I was privileged to meet a couple of my friends who I met through my podcast. Yes I able to meet the cool Louis Rodiger from episode 80! Louis flew in from Tijuana in the states and was staying over in London for a few days. So I hoped on a train and walked around the banks of the thames with his lovely other half Ana too!
You can find out more about LU on our podcast- https://phlogger.co.uk/interview-with-music-fashion-photographer-louis-rodiger/
Later in the afternoon I was able to meet with Kev Percival who you might remember from the Science Museum in London (which a lot of you have seen in the press). Kev appeared on his trusty bike and we met for a coffee in the park, just down from Buckingham Palace. Just don't ask me where, London is new to me so I'm a total stranger.
You can find out more about Kev on our podcast - https://phlogger.co.uk/kevin-percival-museums-space-capsules-scotland/
Anyway it was an amazing day, hopefully I can write a little about it soon. But for those that follow me on social media you can tell I've been busy in the darkroom again playing. Anyway more on that next week.

I'm really excited to introduce this week's guest too. It's not often we head across the other side of the world towards Asia. This week I was very privileged to talk with Johan Brooks. Johan is a street and documentary photography from Japan. He's lived in the UK and America so provides a different viewpoint to life in Japan. He has some fun street images but also some interesting documentary project work.
We talk about a couple of these which include the "fire corps" and "young mountains" as he calls them. Please do check out the images, especially of the sumo as you will see how they compliment the story. Johan is a very respectful guy and talks about shooting protests on the streets of Japan, as it sounds very different to other countries. You certainly get a flavour of the country and my outcome is the word "respect".
So in this one we chat about:

My name is Andrew Walmsley and your listening to episode 157 of photography insights. This is the show that interviews people from the photography world.
Last week we were entertained by one of the ZEKE award winners from last year and today we have the other joint award winner! So we are talking with the documentary photographer Jason Houston. His work is completely different to others as it has a focus on climate and change. I believe the strong messages he presents in the images are needed to help wake us all up. We do have a meaningful conversation about people and the effects we cause on this planet. Jason is very experienced, has travelled the world and spent most of time away. We talk about rising water in Miami, to logging in the Amazon basin and gold in Peru and oh boy there are some important stories. I also love Jason's attitude to try and honour the communities he visits.
Jason asks some good questions on how we make change. Remember, we are all part of the problem - from us recording the interview to even you listening to this podcast!

So thanks for bearing with me, i had arranged 3 interviews in 7 days so busy getting back up to date. We've also had a new member of family to through in the mix - a puppy. So along with these new duties I have been clearing out my darkroom so watch out for equipment on social media. Some of this I'm giving away to others to help them and everything else I've sold in Facebook groups at cheaper than normal prices.

My name is Andrew Walmsley and your listening to episode 156 of photography insights. This is the show that interviews people from the photography world.
In this weeks episode I talk to an award winner. Kristen Joy Emack recently won the ZEKE award by the Social Documentary Network. I'm so thankful to come their work and start sharing some of the wonderful photographers with you. Kristen's work stood out as it showed something important to me - family. Not all work needs to about a model, a worn torn country or something miles away - it can be that thing right in front of your nose. I know for me I struggle with this and talk about this. But Kristen presents her cousins project with an array of her photographs over the years as an interesting story. She opens up about the story of the cousins and her project based around her daughter too.
We also talk about something that effects everyone in their lives at some point. Kristen had never spoken about this body of work so it felt really special to talk about something so dear to her heart. She lost her best friend and talks about her approach of coping with this and her photography project.
It was a pleasure to talk with Kristen about life, we all share these connections, it should not matter about our locations, circumstances or skin colours. I felt so privileged learning about her friend Gina and hope you do too - maybe you can relate.

There is no show this week due to my cold/flu. Been struggling for a week and losing my voice, so had to cancel 3 interviews and may mean no podcast for 1 or 2weeks.
Sorry all but back soon.
In the meantime I have wrote a short article on Washi film - https://phlogger.co.uk/shooting-washi-film-architecture-filters-and-portraits/ It's a great company so do check them out - links in the article.
