Hi everyone!

This weeks episode is a little late, but it is also pretty long!

I'll be discussing my reading of the photograph, 'I Can't Breathe' by Brunel Johnson.

For those who wish to view the image you can find it here

And thank you to Brunel Johnson who's work can be found at https://www.bruneljohnson.com

This was a challenging episode to write and record as the nature of the image can be considered difficult and sensitive but I feel the topics that I touch on need to be addressed more by white content creators in order to ensure questions around representation of Black people and the challenges they face reach as many people as possible.

The topics are primarily how the photographer's compositional and post production decisions can influence the perceptions of an audience.

HI all, 

First of all thank you for the continued support from those who follow my podcast. I hope you enjoy the content and I hope that my work gets better with each episode.

This week I've thrown out the script to talk freely about reading the meaning of photographs. the subject is vast and complex but I wanted to talk about it in the easiest way possible as an introduction to the idea. I plan on writing more episodes in which I give examples of reading images but thought an introduction would be a good way to set this up.

I'm going to set this as season 2 episode 1 to create a season of 'reading'. I'll carry on with other season as each subject develops :)

As always your feedback is greatly appreciated so feel free to message me with suggestions, ideas and requests.

John Berger was considered a contraversial voice during his time but now a leading writer on how the academic art world is systemically flawed

'Ways of Seeing' is an excellent introduction to these  ideas and I highly recommend it as an essential read for any contemporary art lover
