Welcome to the first show of 2017, in which we feature Scottish photographer Bruce Percy. Sam & Paul welcome you back to the show and hope you had a great Xmas and New Year!

We've split episode 8 into two parts, mainly due to the large array of topics Sam and Bruce cover in the interview. In this weeks part 1 we discuss finding your photographic vision, assessing your progress, preparing work as part of a portfolio and also some of Bruce's journey through his own images. We hope you enjoy this engaging chat where we really dig into what it takes to create meaningful images with considered compositions. You can see more of Bruce's work at www.brucepercy.co.uk

Also on this episode we discuss the thoughtful and inspirational video from WEX Photographic featuring Giles Duley and his personal journey through a horrific accident in Afghanistan and how his photography has been influenced by this life changing event. Check out #MoreThanAnImage on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter to see more. Also, many thanks as usual to WexPhotographic.com for supporting the show.

We'll be back in just 1 week with part two of our interview with Bruce Percy.
