The Photowalk

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.

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!

Chris Orange has changed his business and life quite considerably since finding food photography, quite by accident commercially.

London portrait and celebrity photographer Charlie Clift is back for the final part of his mini series on making creative portraits. And if you're intrigued by the title, this is the man who did indeed shove a carrot in Jeremy Clarkson's mouth mid session, listen on to hear what happened. Charlie talks about working with politicians, celeb chefs, actors, expectations and creating original photo stories.

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. American photographer and YouTuber Nick Page shares some behind the scenes secrets about the F4 Road Trip, 'a landscape photography course like no other.' 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?

Walk with me on the south coast of England in Swanage, in the rain with soggy fish 'n' chips, your emails and our cameras for the Friday Photowalk edition, brought to you with those nice people at Lowa, who have been making the best quality walking and hiking boots for 90 years and this month you can WIN a pair! You make this show what it is with your emails and today there are questions about photographing disaster, travel kit and what is it about Fuji users? You can see images from today's walk on the showpage.

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.

Personal projects are so important to the way we photograph and work as photographers.

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.

Today, photographer, trainer and mentor Anna Hardy talks about confidence, impostor syndrome and the fact that if you're largely self taught (common in photography) it can be one of the reasons we develop as professionals anxieties such as impostor syndrome.

As a mark of respect to those who lost their lives, a section of the second part featuring the Dawlish railway line has been removed. The Friday Photowalk is an opportunity to read the emails and feedback you send into the daily shows.

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.

Come with me, as I grab a bunch of the emails you have sent in to the show and share some of your inspiring thoughts and comments about that thing we love; photography.

The second part today of my chat with Ian Treherne, the 'Blind Photographer,' as is exclaimed publicly and proudly on the front page of his own website. We talk a little more in-depth about his approach to photography, how a breakdown led to becoming a photographer, and how his difference inspired a style and influenced a decision to work with Sense, connecting those who are also deafblind.

In life, some folk are very good at finding lids on boxes were actually meant for bursting through. And some folk just don't seem to frequent boxes that have lids at all. And then there are the folk who ask, what's a box? Today a man for whom labels and boxes have been something to fear, something to loathe, but then more latterly something to embrace.

Close to my home lies one thousand hectares of 'free to roam' common land, covered by heath, perfect for nesting birds, a safe haven for grazing cattle, visited every day by joggers and walkers. But once and not so long ago, it was an airbase. Ninety six nuclear war war heads aimed east were hidden in blast proof shelters and silos, watched over behind razor wiring by the dedicated women who formed one of the most famous cold war era peace movements and camps. Oh and there is a mystery of the 'nuclear disaster' that, well, 'never happened.' Pictures on the show page at www.photographydaily.show
