The FujiCast Photography Show

Whilst Kev sips cerveza on his extended vacation in Spain, Neale is left in Auld Blighty (the UK) to piece together this week's first of three holiday specials. There's no break from the questions of course as we answer more tech and arty questions from the show's mailbag. And there are five extra 'mini' guests this week as Neale enjoys the chance to meet some of our FujiCast friends.

Be serious with yourself now. How long has that photo project you've been meaning to make for a while, just existed within that area of consciousness we call; The Back Burner? This week we're delighted to introduce Mandy Burton, Nikon and now Fujifilm shooter, with a story about making her very first photo project. Hopefully it'll inspire you, pros and amateurs alike to do the same thing. 100 Strangers and their Dogs project: http://bit.ly/2YlqKBp Simplr Straps: https://simplr.us/ X Weddings Conference: https://www.x-weddings.co.uk/ Kevin Mullins F16 site: https://f16.click/ Neale James: https://www.nealejames.com

In the second part of 'The other half,' we introduce Sam, Neale's wife. If you missed part one, it's worth visiting that episode from last week, when Neale interviewed Kevin's wife Gemma.

Also this week, advice you would give your 'younger self' prior to business start up and what value photo workshops provide.
