Pitched Industries Podcast

On this episode I’ll be talking with the winner of the Innovation Category in the 2019 Red Bull Illume Image Quest Laurence Crossman-Emms! Although Laurence is mainly known for his mountain bike photography his talent spreads into a number of photography genres including landscapes and people. He has been published on the front cover and inside most of Europe's mountain biking magazines including MBR, Dirt and Mountain biking UK. 

However, in today's episode Laurence will be talking specifically among a heap of other things about how he was able to capture the Innovation Category winning image. If you are listening to this podcast now and haven't seen this photo it could be a good idea to pause this and go to the red bull illume or pitched industries instagram feeds to have a look!

Knox in my opinion would have to have one of the most recognizable styles in Australia. Knox’s work is mainly shot on a combination of 35mm and medium format black and white film that he processes and prints in his small home darkroom. His work mainly revolves around train stations and the streets of sydney and has been featured numerous times in both print and exhibitions including the 2019 Head On Photo Festival in Sydney. 

On this episode Photographer Knox Bertie and I talk about how he got into photography, his unique way of how he develops his photos, the pressure to conform to other photos you see, his personal struggle with insomnia and the impact that has had on his work, the importance of creating a style that is unique, and so much more.
