Click Click Bang Bang - A Photography Podcast

Chemistry teacher by day, epic street photographer by night, Knox Bertie has been obsessed with capturing the rarest moments in Sydney since he arrived from Canada more than a decade ago. His dark and sometimes dystopian images hint at his love for George Orwell and also show a side of the city that nobody expects, far from the blue skies and sandy beaches its the eastern suburbs. Such is the high calibre of Knox's work, it prompted legendary camera manufacturer Leica to make him its ambassador, an honour bestowed upon only the finest exponents of photography. Mez and Toby caught up with Knox to talk about his work, his progression, and of course his thoughts on Breaking Bad.

Mez and Toby take a deep dive into the mysterious world of NFTs and have a thoroughly fungible time dissecting the art world's latest foray into the world of technology, looking at what it means for photography, the industry in general, and the well-being of our planet.

Mez and Toby sit down to talk with their first guest on CCBB – renowned Australian wedding photographer, James Day. Wedding photographers are the hardest working people in the business, so getting some time to chat to James was a real treat. He dives deep into his craft and discusses some of his most emotional shoots, as well as regaling a coupe of funny tales, too. Thanks James, you're a true legend.

Don't forget to visit the website to read all the show notes and to check out some of James's amazing work.

Welcome back to SEASON TWO of Click Click, Bang Bang – A Photography Podcast!

Yeh, we know it’s been a long time between chats, but to be fair we, like everyone on the planet, have been going through some shit! We trust you all survived and continue to survive, and we thought it was time to inject some normality back into the world by getting back to what we love doing – chatting about photography.

We took a very long break from the podcast for a few reasons, the main reason being as freelancers working in the arts and television we both lost a lot of work over the past couple of years and had to focus on keeping our heads above water. Which we are both happy to report, we did … just.

So, in this comeback episode, we catch up and discuss not only the state of our careers and what we’ve been up to, but the state of the Australian photographic community as a whole. We also let you in on what to expect in the new season of CCBB, and that's very exciting!!

So sit back and enjoy the next half hour. It's great to be back.

CCBB Season 1 has come to an end, and that's got Mez and Toby reaching for the tissues, because the outtakes from this first outing are too hilarious!! We also look back on a bumper first series, the mega global events that helped drive it along, and give you a sneak peek of what's to come in Season 2. Bring it on!!

This could be the most lo-fi photography gear chat ever recorded for a podcast, but do you know the reverse business card trick? Sometimes, it's the simplest of things that can get you through a tough shoot, and in this episode, Mez and Toby reveal the secrets of their weird and wonderful kitbags, discussing the sometimes strange gear they just can't live without.

It's time to put on your best threads because Mez and Toby are going to take you for a walk down the red carpet. Yep, that's right, we're going to the movies!! There have been many photography-related flicks released over the years, and the coronavirus shutdown has given us all time to watch a few of them. So sit back and relax as we take you through some of our favourites.

As photographers, we know all about ISO! That's why living in it is NO EXCUSE for letting your gear gather dust while you sit on your butt eating chips and watching rubbish on TV. Mez and Toby have been inspired by a bunch of inspiring ideas from photographers and film-makers they follow, and they throw out a few other ideas to keep you busy while the lockdown lingers. Take it all in, and let the creative juices flow!!

PANDEMIC!!!!! Yep, we're living it, but while the coronavirus crisis has brought down the world's economy, it hasn't stop Mez and Tobes putting together a podcast without breaking any distancing laws!! (Sorry about the temporarily iffy production values as a result.) But that economy could be crucial for a lot of photographers and other visual media creatives, so we've put together a little advice for Aussies to help them get through this freak chapter in our lives.
