Listen Later

On this week’s show, we sit down with photo agent and industry veteran Tim Paton for an unflinchingly honest look at life behind the lens — and the spreadsheets. From running a successful agency through the digital revolution to helping launch careers at Magnum Photos, Tim shares war stories, hard-won wisdom, and practical insights for navigating the unpredictable world of commercial photography. We discuss everything from creative authenticity and career pivots to why AI might not just be the future — it could be your competition. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, this episode is a goldmine of real-world advice, told with humour, humility, and heart.Thank you for listening to The Exposed Negative Podcast.
