The Ordinary Photographer

Authenticity. Is it important?

I think so, which is why I criticise a lot. Maybe I shouldn't.

Fancy a recorded chat? Take control out of my hands by emailing me at [email protected]. It'll be fun, I promise. At the very least, it won't be what you expect...

Thanks for listening folks. It means a lot.

A fascinating chat with a fascinating photographer who clearly thinks quite deeply about the subjects he approaches.

Paul's work is on Flickr:

Another chat with an ordinary photographer. This time it's Paul's turn to discuss pollution porn, half man half biscuit, and camera clubs. If that isn't clickbaity I don't know what is.

A chat with Sam Knight, host of the Photography Musings podcast, and thoroughly nice chap.

If I was competent I'd be able to summarise what we talked about, but it went a bit all over the place, so you'll have to listen to find out.

If you want to chat, and you're an ordinary photographer with opinions on things, (especially if you're triggered by anything we said,) come and have a chat too!

Email me at [email protected] with your time difference from GMT and what you want to talk about.

Thanks again Sam!

Is it down to the lake I fear?

Prizes if you know the song, and eye medication if you go watch the video.

I'm not paid by anyone to endorse anything. Please do your research!

I'm back with something to say.

Just a thought about zines with a minor rant towards AI and thoughts about AI content going forward.

Followed by a more minor rant about infrared photography and how hard it is on film.

Less editing on this one as I CBA.

Complaints as usual to [email protected]

I'm not sure if I've been through this before but after making "Poultry In Motion", I thought I'd try and collate my thoughts into something cohesive.

A process for how I make my zines. Not necessarily the right way, or the best way, just "a" way.

How do you do yours?

[email protected]

After just finishing my latest zine based around portraits, I thought I'd do what was intended to be a brief podcast on the subject.
