EP55 - Trail Running Through the Lens – Rich Gill on UTMB, Burnout & Going Pro


Listen Later

In Episode 55 of the RUNcensored Podcast, we’re joined by photographer and friend of the podcast Rich Gill for his third appearance.


Rich shares his journey from teaching into photography, how he first picked up a camera, and how running during lockdown helped shape his creative path. We talk openly about burnout, working full time while building a photography career, making himself ill, and the six week break that led to a major life decision.


The conversation explores social media pressures, planning content, creative trends, client briefs, and the challenges of working major events like UTMB week. Rich talks about developing a storytelling approach to outdoor and lifestyle photography and reflects on how his work has evolved over time.


We also discuss working with elite athletes and brands, including Alex Yee, Leigh HodgkinsonElsey Davis, UTMB runners, The Circuit of Cornwall, and Rich’s role on The North Face Explorer Team, plus the importance of community through The Peaky Runners.


An honest conversation about creativity, balance, trust, and building a sustainable career in photography and running.
