The Exposed Negative

On this week’s show Tom and Greg react to Samsung's launch film for its P9 SSD, which Tom describes as fully AI generated, and argue that brands selling to photographers should show real people using real kit. They also share street photography inspiration from a Walkie Talkie interview with Jason Eskenazi, compare DJI Osmo cameras for behind the scenes footage, and go through Tom's wireless tethering tests for Capture One.Thank you for listening to The Exposed Negative Podcast.

Tom and Greg record a lo-fi summer episode covering back-to-back heatwave shoots, cameras overheating in the field (a Canon R5 Mark II in 44 degree Texas heat and a Fujifilm X-H2 in an Italian marble quarry), Tom's case for retiring his battered Canon R6 in favour of a Fujifilm X100VI, and a wider argument about why ergonomics and how a camera feels in the hand matter more than chasing specs.Thank you for listening to The Exposed Negative Podcast.

London-based cinematographer Elliot Holbrow joins Tom and Greg to talk about building a career through curiosity rather than formal training, the craft of collaborating with directors, and why shooting on film, whether a Canon Scoopic or 35mm Vision 3, continues to shape how he thinks about images. From decoding the DP's role on a commercial set to the politics of the colour grade, this is a rich conversation about what it actually takes to develop a visual sensibility in the moving image world.Thank you for listening to The Exposed Negative Podcast.
