Maarten Rots is a massive inspiration to both of us. Not only is he an amazing photographer, but he is also the nicest person in the world!

If you've not seen any of Maarten's work before, you are in for a treat. Combining light, shadow and colour in a truly unique style. More akin to the work of Mark Rothko than any other photographer around, Maarten is a real inspiration for anyone struggling with creativity or inspiration.

Check out his stuff on Instagram, buy a print from his website, or grab the latest copy of March & Rock, his self published quarterly zine.

A few weeks or months ago (no one knows, time is a flat circle) we spoke to Dave Beatty, who released a brilliant zine, titled 'Refuges', centred around his lockdown experience.

Encompassing family portraits and landscape photography, it was something we really enjoyed, so had a lovely chat about it.

Hit Dave up on IG if you'd like a copy, he might still have a couple left.

It was literally (literally!) the biggest honour to speak to Scarlet Page, an incredible rock music photographer who has taken some of our favourite photos. Without knowing it at the time, we both used to have loads of Scarlet's photos on our walls as teenagers, cut out of magazines like Kerrang and Raw, pictures of Foo Fighters, The Wildhearts, David Bowie, and loads more.

We also talk about Scarlet's portrait projects: Buddy; and Resonator, which you can take a look at on her website. Plus we touch on the work of Scarlet's Mother, Charlotte Martin, a renowned model from the 1960s, and how it inspires her work.

We were honoured to speak to the king of Street Candy, Vincent Moschetti.

We'd been planning a chat for weeks, and it happened to be that we were scheduled to speak a couple of weeks after Vincent Sadly announced Street Candy was to be discontinued, due to a massive price rise from his suppliers.

We had a great chat (sorry about the audio issues), talking about the history of both Street Candy ATM400 and MTN100, plus Vincent's blog, On Film Only.

We also got a chance to see what would have been, as Vincent shared with us the brand new artwork for the upcoming batch of Street Candy that never was, so keep your eyes peeled for that!

Check out Street Candy on Instagram to see Vincent continuing to share work from the community - https://www.instagram.com/streetcandyfilm/

At the time of writing this, a limited amount of MTN100 is still available at Analogue Wonderland, so snap it up whilst you can! - https://analoguewonderland.co.uk/products/street-candy-mtn100-35mm-film
