| A catch up with Ethan Moses | 16 Mar 2022 | 00:51:32 | |
My name is Andrew Walmsley and your listening to episode 173 of photography insights. This is the show that interviews people from the photography world. Today we get to catch up with Ethan Moses from Cameradactyl. I hadn't spoken to Ethan since November 2019 but always followed his work. When he was running a recent project I couldn't help but be interested. Ethan has been playing with "afghan" cameras as they call them, huge 20x24 bits of technology. Not only that but he's been using the ra4 process to make his own version of instant positive prints! Ethan's personality always shines through, a man who can't stop playing and inventing. So in this one listen out for:

| Emilio Cresciani - cuts, rubbish & spills | 08 Dec 2021 | 01:05:35 | |
My name is Andrew Walmsley and your listening to episode 164 of photography insights. This is the show that interviews people from the photography world. One day I was sending hello messages to people that had recently followed me on Instagram. I usually check out their images and websites, so I can decide if I'm going to follow their work. As you imagine I follow a lot of people and try to keep a small number of close people to engage with. After Emilio Cresciani followed me I was intrigued and after seeing his projects I messaged him through Instagram and here we are! Emilio is an artist from Australia who sees beauty in elements all around us. It was fun talking to Emilio for his laid back personality as you will soon find out. He's a caring person too who teaches people with disabilities and worked in care previously as well. What's even more interesting is his project based work - like "remains of the day". A great project looking at waste and how humans are affecting this world. When talking about his oil slicks, we are looking at what comes out the ground is driping back in to the ground. Don't get me started on his car screen's too, buying over 30 of these and making art out of these. Honestly he's able to see patterns and something interesting and use different photography processes to make art. As we finish the conversation we talk about awards and competitions, then finally memories of his grandad. So in this one look out for: - recycle + waste - negative consequences - metallic paper - shooting roadside - rain - safety glass - iphone vs photograms - making a lightbox - working with ice Links Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/emilio_08/ Website - http://emiliocresciani.com/about-emilio Friends of the show Steve at Chroma - Find out more about his new cute & small pin hole camera at https://chroma.camera For all your c41 developing needs - https://filmdev.co.uk/ Great and affordable zines from Static Age - https://www.staticage.co.uk/ Review You may have seen on social media recently, I posted the latest iTunes review. It certainly made me laugh its a pretty bad one but everyone is entitled to an opinion so here goes. "Don’t bother" Worst interviewer in history. Mumbles. Interrupts. Wouldn’t know an intelligent question if it fell on him.All I can say is, whatever you are doing now, just stop. Go leave a review and help me cancel this out. I can handle criticism, but we all know the statements are incorrect. I'm not the worst interviewer, just one of them, oh well you have to laugh. | |||

Welcome to episode 76 of Photography Insights and another great guest for you.

Some of you have been waiting excitedly for this one too - so welcome on board Flight Instructor Dave Baranek (aka callsign "Bio"). So Dave was an officer in the USA Navy and not only flew (he's a radar intercept officer) in the f-14 Tomcat's but managed a squadron too! Not only that but Dave has ties to one of the most famous aeroplane films ever - Top Gun! Yes, he helped with instructing on the film and is credited too.

He tells us a little his talk in the navy and what he's done since too. So listen out for:
I have to say Dave's life is very different to most, but he is still a humble man so hope you like this one.

For episode 74 we bring you the man behind Japan Camera Hunter, yes its Bellamy Hunt. Bellamy is at the forefront for those in search of their dream cameras.

| Competition results with Charlie from Kodak Alaris | 08 Jan 2020 | 00:26:56 | |
First of all, can I thank you all for submitting such amazing work, you all deserve something so you have my gratitude and humble thanks. We also need to thank Charlie and the team at Kodak Alaris for sponsoring this competition, without them we are nothing. It really does give us great pleasure to look through so many high-quality images, and coming up with a final winner and 2nd place is not easy. So if you remember the theme was "creativity". The only rules were to submit a maximum of 2 images and had to be shot on Kodak film. WINNERS So we will go from the top and work down, here we go: 1st place - @Aiony with his wonderful reflection of a lady's eye in a mirror - 20 rolls coming your way!!! 2nd place - "Jennifer" by @lightcomesthrough with a unique abstract/model image of a lady in a sofa - 10 rolls coming your way!!! CLOSE RUNNERS UP Due to the number of entries & the kindness of Kodak they also nominated the following as "honourable mentions" and will receive a small present also! @benfelten - "Flower power" with a double exposure shot @smrphotoart - "Mary's Shell" a long exposure shot with Tri-x @roaring.images - Long exposure shot of a model with movement FINAL THOUGHTS After looking through the 100 entries (yes amazing) we selected those above as most of the work was done in the camera and using the ability of the film. Though we have to say there were some very creative ideas too, a few with unique ideas like Calvin and his moving model and of course Valentin with his chicken pictures. We also discuss people like Ned & David Collyer from earlier podcasts and David's rush to get his entry in at the last minute. The podcast is definitely recommended to hear the full reasoning behind the shots and here feedback by us both, though the website has the photographs too. We will include a small gallery of those above. Please keep shooting Kodak film, make sure you follow our Instagram feeds to here the latest of what's coming up:- | |||
| Lou Jones - skills, slides & survival | 01 Dec 2021 | 01:29:49 | |
My name is Andrew Walmsley and your listening to episode 163 of photography insights. This is the show that interviews people from the photography world. This interview is one I had been really looking forward to as well, so let me tell you why. First of Lou Jones was recommended by Paula Tognarelli and as the ex-head at Griffin museum, she knows a talent when she sees one. So after reaching out we had a brief chat weeks before the discussion you will hear. Lou is such an interesting guy and time just flew by, so I apologise for the length of this one. I was going to split in to 2 episodes but seemed stupid so take your time with this one. It was actually too hard to cut, the beginning of our chat lay the foundations for who Lou is and we escalate through his career and experiences (through still film and the digital world). The thing is Lou has worked for many big names like Time/Life, National Geographic and other Fortune 500 companies, he's wrote many books, travelled and taught. It's practically impossible to cover so much variety and its ever changing. Even though we didn't get chance to talk about it, his next project is so important - thats the PanAfricaProject, so do check out his work. So we get to talk about life, cinematography like Bladerunner and Dune, and how they effect our photography. We move in to the life and times of being a black photographer, from getting noticed to maintaining a career. It's a long career shooting with text book publishers, advertisers, models, the Olympics (winter and summer) to musicians. Not only that but we discuss how important his Death Row series was to him as a person and his career. You need to listen to this as it's a rare thing to gain access to death row inmates. Lou is a fabulous, fun and well spoken guy, so lets hope we see him again in the future. For now here a list of a few points we come across:

| Christmas special with the Phlogger | 29 Dec 2019 | 00:29:36 | |
Merry Christmas everyone, it's December 2019 and my final show of the year (although this will miss the usual Wednesday slot since its Christmas). The idea behind this show was to look back over the year and talk about what has been happening in terms of meetups, blogging and podcasting. Obviously we are going to go through the results of the Kodak competition too, so stay tuned to the end for that. ARTICLES Well, what a year, as far as blogging is concerned I wrote articles for: Street Photography magazine. We even had a guest article by David on my website about shooting infrared film too (check it out here). FRIENDSHIPS I would like to thank my friends for their continued support and help over the years teaching me how to improve my portraiture and lending me gear too. These are namely: Leon Broomhead, Jay Good, Jay Clarke, Stephen Rendall and Jon Scrimshaw. KODAK COMPETITION Quick update on this. PODCASTING As far as friendships are concerned, there are just times when you meet like-minded people. You cannot do this every time, but when you do it's a long-lasting relationship. These are (in no particular order): Jason Lane Steve Lloyd The Graybills Quinn Jacobson Dominique David & Ned Collyer John Hughes Andrew Sanderson Tuan Bui SHOOTS Occasionally there has been a group photoshoot and one model session too, which I really enjoy. The group shoots have been arranged by Jay Clarke at the x-church in Gainsborough. They are fantastic for learning, sharing, practising and networking. During December I shot a wedding too, it was to help a friend's daughter out in my home town of Scunthorpe. After checking out the venue earlier in the year I anticipated my gear would not be suitable but arranged something to get past this. Hopefully, in due course in the new year, I can show you some photos from this session. Shooting in December indoor is never easy and without light, you have no photo, so it was challenging. MEET UPS In early 2019 we managed to catch up with a few faces at the Photography Show and it was the first time I managed to speak with the likes of Stephen at Kosmo, Paul at Analog Wonderland, Steve Lloyd at Chromas, Sunny16 podcast team, Sam at Solarcan and John Whitemore to name a few. I was fortunate to catch up with Paul Lefko from L.A. during December. On the way home from meeting Paul, I dropped in at Cambridge to meet up with John Hughes. PROJECTS During 2019 the secret project ended, full details will be released in due course. The Washi project started and there was one update about issues with the camera, more details soon. For 2020, there is a street photography project due which is tailored around a few individuals and talks are ongoing with some analog photographers for another too. FUTURE During 2020 your first podcast due is with Bellamy at Japan Camera Hunter, there will be a fighter pilot due and many more to come. Don't be afraid of approaching me with your ideas, sell your story. | |||
| Interview with Joshua Blackburn | 18 Dec 2019 | 01:12:51 | |
For episode 71 we bring you the author and photographer of the amazing book "Launderama" - Joshua Blackburn. Joshua has found his way to photography late in life after a career in design. He embarked on a massive project to photograph all the laundrettes in London. You will find out, the how, why and when about this fantastic story and will help you understand some of the pictures better.

| Dominique - interview with a street portrait photographer | 11 Dec 2019 | 01:03:56 | |
I'm pleased to bring you this episode because I first started talking to Dominique over a year ago, through our mutual friend Sarah (link here). Sarah said what a lovely lady she was and they had become friends and she creates such lovely portraits of people. That is no lie either, her work is stunning and so consistent. I'm not sure how Dominique finds her subjects, but they are so different and such interesting characters. Dominique lives in New York, but originates from France so listen to her charming accent. She is a caring and family person, who captures people on the street with her Sony. In this show Dominique talks to us about:

| Adam Lee - a photographer, a donkey and travelling | 04 Dec 2019 | 01:08:04 | |
I'm pleased to introduce you to Adam Lee aka "adams walks". He's a guy who loves travelling on foot and camping around. Recently he walked the entire length of the UK with a donkey named Martin!!! It's a fascinating story a man and a pack animal, how they learnt about each other and kept plodding on. He managed to write on his blog a little about this and even from the perspective of Martin the donkey - which is funny, so check out the links. Fingers crossed Adam will get published too, as he's working on a book about his trip (one of a few). Adam's also work on long term plans to walk China with a mule for company. I'm thankful to my friend Tobias for introducing Adam (Tobias featured on this episode).

| Tuan Bui - interview with a wedding & film photographer | 27 Nov 2019 | 01:14:38 | |
Tuan Bui - episode 68. We came across Tuan from his beautiful work in the PhotoKlassik magazine. He's a wedding & film shooter from Chicago who loves travelling too. What I found really interesting was his choice of technology - lots of polaroids. This seemed a strange concept especially in the world of high resolution and detail found in the digital world. So have a listen to why Tuan shoots using large format & huge aeroplane lenses when using Fuji pack film. Listen out for these areas of interest:
Tuan was kind enough to even talk about his film fridge with lots of lovely treats like Aerochrome! Tuan manages to defeat the random questions so find out about:

| Interview with light painter Denis Smith | 20 Nov 2019 | 01:09:07 | |
In this show, we interview a guy from across the other side of the world, in a diverse country called Australia. Denis Smith is not only an Olympus visionary but someone who shoots long exposure. He creates amazing images of orbs and other patterns using long exposure + a multitude of tools. Some of these are made by his company and sold through his online store. What made me want to interview Denis was his story, it's one with a turbulent past. He had a life-changing event that made him become who he is now - a great person and friend to all. We do talk in an open and brutal manner about mental health with men. Through his meetups and workshops, he's able to teach people why he loves light painting so much. Denis talks about light painting and how easy it is to get started and why do-it-yourself is an important part of the process. I would urge anyone to check the website for the full experience, where Denis's video will be available and some example shots. Podcast contains:
Of course, we get to have some fun with Denis, so listen out why we talk about:

| Interview with camera inventor Ethan Moses from Cameradactyl | 06 Nov 2019 | 01:08:18 | |
It's so nice to interview from the different areas of the photography world and this one is definitely that! I remember Ethan launching the Kickstarter project for Cameradactyl back in 2018 and thought wow, how colourful is that, such a different approach. Ethan has done a cracking job with the camera and launched all manner of accessories for cameras (not just his large-format model). He has now ventured into making a handheld 4x5 which is a great concept. Now I know not everyone is going to be thrilled about the products he makes or the choice of materials. But this is 2019, there are not many options unless you have unlimited funds and some accessories he makes are only available second hand, as they relate to cameras from the 70+80's. What's amazing about Ethan is that he has a business mind, an engineers mind and also a photographers eye, so it was quite easy to go between business and building in the same sentence. In this one we discuss:
Random questions Ethan easily answers our strange questions that involve: - which mythical creature lives In Africa - Eddie the Eagle! - $1 million button - Morning glory flowers - Ideal presents for 90-year-old's Extra content Anyone visiting the website will be able to view photographs of his products.

| Interview with street photographer John Hughes | 30 Oct 2019 | 01:22:59 | |
For episode 64 I'm going back to my roots with this one, my very first interview was with a street photographer. I think its just something in some of us to shoot in this way. So today I've finally had a chance to catch up with the man of shadows and highlights, John Hughes.
John is a really good force for street photography, he speaks the truth and from the heart. If he doesn't like something he will tell you, so if honesty isn't for you look elsewhere! John is a full-time photographer and runs workshops, creates zines and offers one to one coaching.
He talks to us about his early start in life and how a meet up with Bruce Davidson has helped shaped who he is to this day. John actually was introduced through our mutual friend and Kodak Alaris competition winner Barney Maguire (lives in the same town).
Through our conversation we discuss:

Analogue can hold you back
Workshops+ teaching
Camping out in same spot
Ricoh gr 2 vs 3

| Peter Kayafas - Discipline, New York + Totems | 24 Nov 2021 | 01:07:38 | |
My name is Andrew Walmsley and your listening to episode 162 of photography insights. This is the show that interviews people from the photography world. Once again we head to the big apple for our next guest, someone from the world of film, the darkroom, education and travels. It's a great pleasure to talk with someone whose work has been exhibited around San Francisco, New York and New Orleans. Peter Kayafas teaches at the Pratt Institute in New York but is also the director of Eakins Press and involved in other photography related boards. I wanted to talk with Peter as he travels around the US and manages to make prints and monographs of his work usually in the form of books. I mean you can't beat a good photography book so do check out the links. Peter has vast experience with teaching but also with shooting and darkroom too, so much he was in the darkroom with his dad around 2-3 years of age! It was interesting to talk about his projects which are "the way west", "totems" which is about links to the past; "people in new york". The people of New York stands out in the sense he even made 36" square prints on aluminium for this exhibition - imagine that! The last one we discuss is "coney island waterdance" which he shot during the 1990's about the polar bear club. So in this one listen out for:

For episode 60 I'm delighted to bring you a quality photographer and friend of mine too - Leon Broomhead.

His work is all about pushing boundaries both in a technical way and artistic. I’ve met up with Leon many times and its always been a pleasure.

Well folks we made it to episode, so that also means a year of podcasting. For this one I wanted to have a relaxing chat with some of my prior guests and get an update to what has happened. It's been an amazing, emotional and hard working lesson in life. I've met some very interesting characters around the world whom I now call friends. From my early days of just using my mobile phone and playing with different ways of recording, i've settled down in to something custom built by myself. This now allows me live video with my guests, which helps us with the conversation and allows me to see emotion. Once I've converted this to audio I can then present the important part of our conversations. For this show we have: Paul McKay from Analogue Wonderland Jon Scrimshaw from Instinctive Photography Jason "speed plates" Lane of Pictoriographica Steve Lloyd from Chroma Camera Paul Lefko from L.A.

A couple of people had to cancel or couldn't make it, so a shout out to Dominique in New York, Leyton in Scotland and Ashley in Australia. I'm nothing without my wonderful guests, each one has inspired me in a different way, each one has shown compassion and an insight in to their personality. It is great to say many have remained friends and the Phlogger will always follow their work and showcase where possible. Finally thanks to all you listeners too, i'm nothing without you and hope you get something out of the show. My aims are to help educate people about other processes and genres of photography. It's important they remain fun but also show the personality of the person, its these insights that resonate within me.

It's been great to be back and playing around with ideas. I would never know how to classify my work or what I do. I have a liberal approach to my art, sure this is science but most of it is experimenting. Recently I have played with perspectives, tried montage/mirroring, used blue some dye and old paper. This weeks guest has got me thinking too, so let's see. I'm pleased to say my film washi project has now completed too - this is the one that involved the smallest film company in the world and a 72 exposure camera. It was a lot of fun sending this off to random people around the UK and France. Of course we were delayed by covid so it's taken a little time. Anyway watch out for an article soon on this. | |||

The phlogger brings you a special edition of phlogger presents. On the 27th April 2019, we took part in a 24 hour shoot (I only managed a few hours) in aid of the Macmillan cancer support.

The event was a day of models, photographers, hair stylists, make up artists and body/face painters from all over the country! As part of the event, we managed to interview a few people towards half way in the event and a few others days later. They are (in order): - Jay Clarke - Jay Brown - Ashleigh Burnett - Lizzie Moy - Anita Robertson At the time of publishing the event raised over £900 for the charity.
