In this episode, much sought-after British photographer David Stewart talks about how he started taking pictures on Morecambe beach, how he learned the tricks of the trade as an assistant in London, how he developed an off-beat humorous style, how his 2015 Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize-winning photograph was about disconnection in the modern world and how some of his personal work pokes gentle fun at modern corporate working methods.
