The Photowalk

Photojournalist Edmond Terakopian joins us for the first of a three parter on the truth and telling photographic stories. Today though is about censorship in a country or indeed in countries, where we felt we had absolute freedom to tell nothing but the whole truth. It's a pull no punches episode where one of the UK's most respected photojournalists makes his feelings abundantly clear on how one of the most important stories in a generation is not being told and who he feels is to blame.

The Gnome Reserve, proving that the British have an eccentric sense of humour, as that's where we start this week's show in Devon. 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. Also today we visit Appledore and the only place (I believe) in England at least, to have an exclamation mark in its name, Westwood Ho! Email the show: [email protected]

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.

Hailey Sadler, an international documentary photographer operates at the intersection of art, journalism, and advocacy. In part 2 of my chat with her, we discuss her photographic work with the victims of the Rohingya genocide, the mark it has made on her personally and ask, what difference do our own photographs make to the world around us? Particularly keen to hear your own thoughts about your own pictures on this subject. Send to: [email protected]

We welcome back a friend of the show, Nick Page, American landscape photographer, YouTuber and tutor, for a chat about a multitude of brief topics including compositing, having a multiple revenue stream, the most important piece of kit (that incidentally won't fit into a bag) and the question of why you create images and where they end up. Email the show: [email protected]

From my own event experience this weekend, I ask Adam Johnson, award winning social and wedding shooter, can you really photograph an event and remain socially distanced? And are events actually following distancing etiquette anyway? Are they required to? What should you expect as a photographer? I welcome your thoughts from around the world where you live and photograph. Email: [email protected]

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. Meet Ian Treherne, 'the Blind Photographer.' https://www.photographydaily.show/episodes/ian-treherne-the-blind-photographer-pt1

This weekend, there's an Access All Areas interview with Blurb Books evangelist Dan Milnor. Today a shortened preview, a part of that show where he talks about patience and how social media has perhaps untrained that sense and enforced a requirement to post to post to post. Through all the instant gratification noise, what has happened to the long tail photo project? Contact the show: [email protected]

Gary Tyson is a commercial photographer based in Manila. He's a Fujifilm ambassador which by quirk of boundaries and despite his Philippines full time address is tied to Hong Kong.

A former British Army photographer he's adept at photographing people, so what does he choose as the best street camera tool? You may be surprised by the answer.

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

Russell Ord must have one of the best jobs in certainly one of the most beautiful parts of the world; south west Australia. But it started due to what I often term as a happy accident. An oxymoron for sure you might suggest, but he injured himself doing what he loved, surfing, which essentially took him out of the sport at any reasonable competitive level. This wasn't to stop him. He picked up a camera. He started to shoot and he's now considered one of the world's best surf photographers. More on Russell: https://www.photographydaily.show/episodes/episodes/sun-surf-sharks-russell-ord

We first heard from the photography YouTuber Nick Page last week and today he returns as I ask; "Do you choose your genre, or does it choose you? Do you even need to choose one? But for those who feel they need to, when do you know you've found it?" Also Nick talks about chasing storms in America. Contact the show: [email protected]

How are you? No, really, how are you? Today we continue our mini series on coping with these times as a photographer and I welcome to the show Scott Shillum, co founder of The Photography Movement, launched in 2017 with close friend Steve Wallington after they both lost close family and friends to suicide. It's a non profit org, which 'fosters a community spirit, where individuals of all ages can discuss mental wellbeing through the medium of photography.'

It's an odd concept granted, but Pulitzer prize winning photographer Cathal McNaughton has some thoughts about how his work in photography is adapting to meet new challenges our 'industry' faces. Cathal also shares his feelings about awards, working internationally and giving back, rather than taking when making pictures.

Today, a preview of the documentary legacy recording, where landscape photographer Paul Sanders talks candidly about life photographing the news and being Picture Editor at one of the world's most respected newspapers and how it all came to a crashing halt.

And what does it take to be a successful YouTube photographer? See today's show notes: https://www.photographydaily.show/episodes/youtube-channel-episode

Today's chat with Blurb Books ambassador Dan Milnor presented ideas that inspired me personally in terms of self-publishing my work and my thoughts. Gone went the, "Oh who would even be interested," concerns I usually have, to be replaced by two words; "What if?" Also, why scarcity can be so powerful.

I'm sure the answer to today's show title may well be yes, in times of travel again of course. Respected portrait photographer Saraya Cortaville asked herself this very question when she faced a creative crossroads. Today we start to investigate an opportunity more photographers are beginning to take; the opportunity to work as a volunteer overseas photographing the important work of NGOs, with charities such as WaterAid.

A strange start to this morning's usually serene photowalk show concept. I'm by a road. A bypass. A busy, noisy, unrelenting bypass. Why? We're going to retrace some steps into the countryside and talk about a not so well documented English battle, the 3rd Battle of Newbury where tree protesters, tunnellers and a snail almost brought a planned £75M project to its knees.

Today photographer Jack Lowe questions what he's doing feeding the Instagram and Facebook machines. Jack has been travelling the UK and Ireland on an eight year self funded project to photograph every lifeboat station. Social media helps bring patrons on board to support what has become his job. But two weeks ago and still with two to three years to go on the project, he stopped feeding to Instagram and Facebook. Today I ask; "Why?"
