I wrap up the first season of the podcast with the Gutterman of Neg Pos Podcast! It was a delight to get to chat all things music with Mike and really get deep into what he loved from the 90's and how music videos and MTV influenced his photography style. We have so much in common and I really cherished the opportunity to chat with Mike openly and freely about music more than photography! The two link up so much though and I know a lot of you are music fans so I hope this gets you thinking about what inspires you in that realm too!

In episode 9 I chat with Melbourne based Elopement photographer Em Jensen about shooting exclusively on film, innovating in the industry and putting yourself out there to get back what you want. Em is so accomplished and just killing it with her professional and personal work. We chat about Australia as inspiration and exploring the outback for locations like motels and old pubs. Em and I had so much in common as far as our approach to photography and I really wish she lived closer to be honest cause it would be super rad to shoot with her or just have a wine!

I have a very special episode for you all, this one is quite different so I'm excited to share it with you! 

This episode is actually an interview conducted by a pen pal of mine over in Denmark. We met via the YouTube channel and have been emailing back and forth semi regularly ever since. Christian is doing a University project exploring the topic/question of art vs content and he had some questions he wanted to ask me in relation to my photography and the way I choose to share it online. I think this episode will really speak to content creators, especially those regularly uploading, or trying to, on YouTube. 

This episode is quite long but as it's for a university project I really wanted to offer Christian as much as possible to work with. It was his suggestion that this topic might make a cool podcast episode and whilst maybe this sort of thing isn't every ones cup of tea I think it's really interesting to ponder the things Christian asks here. 

Please feel free to contact me and let me know what you thought of these topics. Christian is a patron of mine and a big supporter of my work so thank you to you for including me in your research for this assignment!

You can contact Christian via email - christian.holse.salicath@gmail.com 

You can contact me via email - lucylumenanalog@gmail.com 

Say hi on IG - @lucy_lumen 

The books we spoke about are available in most places online but I encourage you to seek them out at your local bookstore if possible!

I hope you enjoy this. Thanks again Christian.

Love Lucy xx

Matt Murray of Podcast fame Matt Loves Cameras joins me for a chat about juggling family life and creativity. Matt and I have become close friends since we connected on social media and speak almost everyday. I find much solace in chatting with Matt, he is always a laugh and will offer advice when I need it. He is a family man and we touch on that a lot as it can often make having a creative life difficult and challenging. Matt shares his travel memories and how that inspired him in his photography both then and now. We obviously get side tracked and veer off topic but in the best way possible! 

You can check Matt out over at his website https://mattlovescameras.com and find all the amazing things he does including his podcast!

So grateful that I got to interview one of the film communities most loved people on YouTube. Jason and I hit on so many things here that could do with some more exploration. I know I could go on and on about movies and music so I might have to get Jason on for a 2.0 session soon! Maybe I should avoid asking guests who their favorite serial killer is next time though?? Huge thank you to Jason and to all of you for listening. Be sure to check out the link below for further visual and audio experiences that will enrich you and your creativity.
