Episode 4: Sophia Carey

We were very excited to talk to photographer and YouTuber extraordinaire, Madison Beach, about getting started in photography, building a YouTube channel, and taking her mum on photo walks.

Madison has built up an amazing channel, after discovering YouTube just a few years ago (!), so don't let anyone tell you it's too late to start a channel.

We're really happy to say that Madison is a FRONT ambassador. Make sure you check out her YouTube channel, follow her on Instagram and all that stuff.

Episode 5: Madison Beach

This week's episode was recorded waaaay back in March, so all our references are probably out of date.  At one point we mention At The Drive-In, so when I say March, I must mean in 2001. 

We spoke to Josh Astrop, a photographer who shoots exclusively on an iPhone. His photos are awesome, and we wanted to get some insight into why he chose the phone as his primary tool and how he uses it.

Josh (who doesn't consider himself a photographer) has a photography exhibition coming in July at the Marefair Gallery, Northampton, so do make sure you check that out.

Again, we're doing this one in 2 parts because we want to keep the episodes under an hour in length. Not sure why.

We were honoured to speak to Paul McKay, owner of Analogue Wonderland (along with his mum, Mary), and guru of all things film related!

We spoke about how Analogue Wonderland got started, Paul unmasks himself as  Fall Out Boy fan, and keeps your eyes (and ears) peeled for a surprise guest appearance from Jamie's dog, Thrasher.

We're making a video about the Ricoh GRii so we figured we'd have a little chat about the camera, share some photos we've taken using it, what we like, what we don't and what we'd like to see on the Ricoh GRiv.

Let us know what you think of the camera, head over to our Instagram and send us some of the shots you've taken on it.

We asked for your questions, but we only got round to answering one! This week we talk about "what's the best focal length for street photography" (thanks Yushy for that one!) and we also get into discussing what's the best way to deal with getting questioned on the street when taking photographs.

Also, Jamie got a new camera!

We spoke to FRONT ambassador, photographer, film maker, and all round excellent person... Brae Hunziker!

This was a really inspiring conversation where we chatted about how Brae got into photography and film making, the value of getting rid of all your stuff on the regular and a whole load of other stuff!  The full conversation was about 2 hours, so we've chopped it into 2 parts, with the second coming next Wednesday.

Be warned, there's like 2 minutes at the beginning where we just talk about spa's we visited.

We had a super long chat with the excellent Paul Michael Hughes, a friend and professional photographer who has putting out some amazing creative work for the last couple of decades.

We talk about how Paul got into working with the Guinness World Records, planning shoots, and also there's tons of good advice for budding photographers looking to go professional.

This is part one because the chat ended up being quite long, part two is coming next week. This week we mostly talk about Paul's professional work, and next week is all about his personal output.

We caught up with Josh Astrop again to discuss his recent photography exhibition which took place at the Marefair Gallery in Northampton last month. We probably should have spoken to him before, or at least during the exhibition, but instead we spoke to him just after it finished - just like the consummate professionals we are.

It meant we could discuss some insights and learnings into how to put on an exhibition, and what Josh would have done differently given another go around!

The project is sponsored by the incredible people at Analogue Wonderland.

This is easily the quickest we've ever recorded a podcast and managed to put it live. Normally it takes around 2 - 3 months.  Once, it took 2 years.
