On the first episode of the Creative Heartlands Podcast I talk to David J Pierce from Black Hole Studio. David first started his photography career back in the late 80's by reading a weekly photography magazine 'You and Your Camera', which his mother had subscribed to. A comprehensive guide of eight volumes, each with 12 magazines gave him an insight to photography before he ever had a camera. That all changed when he got an Olympus OM-10 film camera and a visit to Minneapolis, USA where he received an inspirational lesson from Brian Pobuda looking through the book 'Photography as a Fine Art'.  It was then he understood the full scope of the photographic image.

We talk about his early career getting started as a Photographer and Filmmaker and how he has slowly introduced more digital design elements into his work. He talks about his latest project, a study on isolation that was inspired by the pandemic lockdowns and features elements of film, animation and digital modelling within a Black & White German Expressionism framework.
