Australian photographer and mentor/coach, Jai Long, caused a storm on Instagram this summer by declaring that nobody wants a documentary photographer at their wedding! Jai is back for his concluding episode to share his thoughts about why he said that and the fallout. He also shares thoughts on being able to pivot, whilst in the introduction today, my own feelings about the future, how being described as a 'non-viable' occupation in parliament stings, and briefly why I think as creatives we still have great opportunity. Today's show is kindly supported by MPB, trading thousands of cameras and lenses every week across Europe and the US. 

Niall Carson a respected Press Association photojournalist returns for part two in his Tuesday series of making stories without fear. We talk about why the attitude towards photojournalists worldwide has hardened and what may be behind it. We discuss the risks he has personally taken to deliver news pictures, including being attacked in his car, and shot by a dissident republican. Today's show is kindly supported by MPB, trading thousands of cameras and lenses every week across Europe and the US. 

New York City portrait photographer Bill Wadman is back for the final time today in his three parter. We talk invention and how for some photographers, like Bill, it’s the unknown, it’s the learning, that keeps you creatively fresh. The story also of how Richard Avedon approached his studio portrait work and how he captured a particular infamous portrait of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor in an unconventional manner.  Today's show is kindly supported by MPB, trading thousands of cameras and lenses every week across Europe and the US. MPB checks, grades and photographs every single item, and adds a six month warranty, so you can be sure of what’s in the box.

It's the show where we walk, make some pictures and talk about what's capturing your photographic imagination. Today the photographer who asked to kiss her subjects, calming your anxiety by shooting landscapes, 500+ days in a tent and other stories. There's also a chance to win yourself some Lowa Renegade boots, perfect for making those photowalks of your own. And we thank MPB.com for their support in helping to grow the show.  

October 1st, 2020. It's an important date for the show. Exactly four months since launch, well over the 100K download target and we welcome aboard a new supporter; MPB, which trades thousands of cameras and lenses every week, across Europe and the US. Matt Barker founded the company eleven years ago, an enthusiastic amateur photographer who saw a gap in the market for a company specialising in online used sales. Today, we talk gear and buying habits and why customers are buying more second hand cameras and lenses. https://www.mpb.com 

Today’s photo story is about an Australian electrician, a café and restaurant owner, a gold miner, (albeit for a short while) a wedding shooter, and now educator, possibly in the future a pilot too as you’ll hear. Jai Long, has an entrepreneurial spirit to him and a never say never edge. Some may say pivoting is the new constant in business, that being able to change it up is how we succeed in fast moving industries, pandemic or no pandemic. Jai agrees and talks of how being hungry to learn, build, succeed then reposition could be the recipe for success.

The multi award winning photojournalist Niall Carson based in Northern Ireland is my guest for the first part of a new mini Tuesday edition mini-series where we find out what it’s like to be literally in the line of fire as a news photojournalist. Today we learn about Niall’s upbringing and early career, son to a catholic family living in West Belfast, where divide in the 70s and 80s was a way of life, something underlined by his first day working at a newspaper in the city.

Super inventive, super enthusiastic, super passionate New York City portrait photographer Bill Wadman is back for part two of his Monday three parter and it’s a cornucopia of photography nuggets today from a photographer and artist who likes to know how everything ticks, both technically and creatively.

With Lowa Boots, it's the Friday Photowalk edition; your emails that you've sent in about the photographers you've heard speak on the show. This week we talk aviation photography, whether a dog would be good for the show and we draw a winner for the monthly competition to win Lowa Renegade walking boots. It's also a week to try something new photographically, the use of a vintage Yashica lens to bring the shots made during the episode which you can see here: https://www.photographydaily.show/vintage-lens-outing

Today with the help of two guests, London fashion photographer Max Lacome and photography mentor Anna Hardy, I'm keen to discuss confidence. Max unpicks the genre of fashion for all its drama, glamour and bravado and also reveals a little of his anxieties despite his status as an established and respected photographer in the capital. And Anna will raise the spectre of a prize hike and why now could be the right time to consider it. As always your thoughts and comments are very welcome by writing to: [email protected] 

Going into hiding for making photo stories about protest is not something photographer Ryan Vizzions expected to need to do. Today the story of the Dakota Access Pipeline, the Standing Rock Indian Reservation and a battle to protect sacred lands from a re-routed oil pipe project. Ryan talks about being an active participant in the protests, photographing events you are genuinely and passionately angered by and how he poked a political hornet's nest.

Today, a project that changed many young peoples’ lives, 'Being In-between', a photographic series of portraits with recorded interviews of girls aged between ten and twelve – it’s a project that explores going from childhood to young adulthood, a study if you will of cause and effect too; how sensitive we are growing up to what we see, hear and experience. And it’s a project that seems very personal to its photographer Carolyn Mendelsohn as you'll find out.

In 2007 Bill Wadman started posting one portrait per day to a blog, three years before Instagram even existed for this now popular challenge. 173 days later, USA Today and The Times in London ran a feature on this unique project. Soon, 20,000 site visitors would show up each day to find out who Bill might photograph next. It was the project that unexpectedly launched this now respected New York City photographer's career.

With Lowa Boots, I take your emailed thoughts and feedback from the episodes you've recently heard. A chance to make some pictures and reflect on the words we've heard from the incredible photographers who talk on these shows. Today we're walking a little of the path we've taken before, a former nuclear weapons airbase in the south of England, Greenham Common, once home to 96 lethal cruise missiles, now the grazing home to free roaming cattle, joggers, cyclists and two Photowalkers; you and I. Supported by www.lowa.co.uk 

During a week where we've talked about aerial shooting, teenage lockdown, social unrest and protest photography, I'm ending the interview portion of the week before the Friday Photowalk in contemplative chat with Max Lacome, London based portrait, celebrity and fashion photographer. He's successfully created a business with a client list keen to commission him and as the doors begin to open again to his genre I'm keen to understand more about the world of photography he frequents.

Meet Ryan Vizzions, a photographer who started making pictures at the most difficult time of his life after losing his father to suicide. He quit his job at a Fortune 500 company, travelled half way across the world to a place chosen randomly with friends to find himself alone in the midst of civil unrest in Thailand during the 'Red shirt protests' of 2010. It was to be a trip that shaped his photographic future covering stories of injustice and protest. Comment on the show: [email protected] 

Today a photographer who has been making the news on the BBC and the Huffington Post of late, Carolyn Mendelsohn on her incredibly powerful photography project for teenagers in Bradford during lockdown called Through Our Lens, a grass roots photographic self-isolation project that brought young people together to express their honest feelings pictorially during this time and rebuilt a photographer's belief in her business.

Vincent Laforet is back for his third and final part and he’s in the air, for an ambitious photo project that almost didn’t get off the ground at all. Project Air pushes the boundaries of aerial photography in an unimaginable way working at the very limits of camera and gimbal technology and in helicopters working at their ceiling limitations too!

Today for some, this is a tutorial on how to build your YouTube channel, perhaps a new one if you’ve thought; "Why not, I’d like to have a go at running a channel?" For others it’ll be a chance to go behind the scenes; a day in the life of a landscape YouTuber, but also I think it’s an opportunity to hear the truly passionate engagement of a photographer who loves what he does, although you’re about to hear the good and bad of being in front of a camera. Adam Karnacz is my guest from First Man Photography, whose channel is starting to fly. Contact the show: [email protected] Visit the showpage

Travel and an ingeniously creative way to teach landscape photography skills is today's inspiration for an episode about taking to the open road.

Also we talk about being in the wilds and find out what floats Nick's boat when it comes to making pictures in the vast wilds of The States. Email the show: [email protected]

There are moments in your life, where you make decisions that change just about everything; sliding door moments. If today's guest Vincent Laforet hadn’t seen a white boxed package on a desk during a visit to Canon that held a particular brand and model of camera, if he hadn’t then essentially begged for an opportunity, if he hadn’t proposed his audacious plan quite so passionately, perhaps he wouldn’t have changed direction quite so radically?

London based creative portrait, advertising and editorial photographer Charlie Clift returns (part 2 of 4), and we’ll be concentrating in this visit on a project we’ve discussed already in a previous episode, the Let’s Talk campaign. This project involved people having their toughest and sometimes scarring inner most thoughts painted on to their faces. Some ideas organically become strong brilliant ideas and this is one of those. We talk about creativity, ideas and having the strength to know you have a good one. Supported by imagesalon.com

This is the most appropriate episode I think I could air today, because personally there's a lot of change going on in our household as you'll hear about during the introduction to this podcast about Adam Karnacz from First Man Photography, who after 14 years as a police officer, completely changed his life to become a social and landscape photographer, YouTuber, mountain and hill walker. Today is about change and changing your life for one all about photography. Be sure to write into the show with your thoughts for the Friday Photowalk edition: [email protected]

Walking their dogs three years ago, sisters-in-law Laura Johnson and Zoe Proctor mused why there wasn't a specialist agency to represent disabled people in mainstream media and modelling. In that one walk, they hatched and launched Zebedee Management, a specialist talent agency representing people who until now have largely been excluded in the media including people with disabilities, or alternative appearance and more latterly trans/non binary. Today is a story about self belief and giving others the gift of the same - and is brought to you with Image Salon.

We start the week with Vincent Laforet, whose work as a leading photojournalist has blessed the pages of National Geographic, Time, Newsweek, Life and New York Times Magazine. He is a Pulitzer prize winner for feature photography in 2002 and his pioneering motion film work with Canon stills cameras led the way for film makers who adopted DSLR technology at a time such tech was not considered for feature film application.

Charlie Clift is one of the go to editorial photographers when it comes to inventive, creative concepts that require pictures that go beyond the typical reception room couch pose.

Elke Vogelsang based in Germany began photographing as a way to tackle some hard emotional challenges presented by a series of personal family life events. The camera, the pictures, the animals, became a mental refuge. Published in The Sunday Times, National Geographic and Taschen she has earned the title of Europe's top pet photographer. Look into the eyes of her subjects and you’ll see a dog or cat, not just looking back, but talking to you. But initially, self doubt, held her back. Email the show to comment: [email protected]

In 2018, Pulitzer prize winner Cathal McNaughton showed a shocked world the true horrors of the Rohingya refugee crisis and in doing so earned a Pulitzer Prize.
