Charlene Winfred is a self-titled photographic nomad, a 'permanent in-betweener.' Over the next few weeks we'll talk at length about being this traveling adventurist with a camera. Today we start with her beginnings, her time spent in Iraq and shooting street in her home country, Singapore. Charlene's also a strong advocate of street shooter collectives for women and talks of how initially 'others' tried to dissuade her from becoming a professional photographer.

Portrait photographer Alex Benyon talks about how photography, in particular street photography, has been a positive life influence and healer during times of clinical depression and anxiety. He's been 'giving back' to those who suffer their own mental health problems with the 'Portraits of Mental Health project.' The aim of this ongoing project is to raise awareness for the different types of mental health issues, the variety of individuals affected by them and to present a positive message of hope and support.

'Punk, Post Punk, New Wave: Onstage, Backstage, In Your Face, 1978 to 1991' is possibly one of the longer book titles to grace your coffee table. This is LA celeb photographer Michael Grecco's raw pictorial account of a period of music history from the late 70s to early 90s which he captured as a photojournalist in Boston and New York. He literally 'became the music,' hanging out with bands from both sides of the Atlantic photographing the underground club scene right through to larger stadia.

Sean Tucker, philosophical YouTuber, photographer and writer shares his thoughts on this unnerving constant obsessive requirement to receive likes and thumbs up on our pictures and profiles as he returns for the concluding part in his mini series.

Shooting photographs in heat temperatures way beyond what you'd usually expose your camera to, Australian bush firefighter Cameron Neville was in the midst of last year's bush fires called Black Summer, which were particularly vicious. He talks about the frenetic ferocious style these fires have become and we learn why and how Cam's photographs as a firefighter AND photographer seem to take you into the scene like very few other collections I've seen from this time. Today's show is about photography, but it's equally about ecology. Supported by mpb.com

Lockdown 2 may be here in England, but episode 131 is not thwarted. With plenty of social distancing, it's the Friday Photowalk; reading your questions from the mailbag, making some pictures together as we walk and talk and there's news about a special photographic auction. We also talk favourite kit, but fear not, it does not get geeky.

Today's show is kindly supported by MPB who are the number one platform for buying, selling and trading used gear. Right now, every time you sell, or buy or trade kit, MPB will plant a tree, it's all part of driving the circular economy.

Sean Tucker is a photographer and YouTube film maker who would rather talk about the who than the why of making pictures. His films take a more philosophical approach to photography. There's certainly more thinking and less gear talk. I've chatted with Sean before back in episode five, but with lockdowns and restrictions dominating the creative scene of 2020, I thought we could probably do with some light photographic philosophising tonic? Projects, films, social media, YouTube; all subjects covered in today's and next week's Thursday editions.

This show is partnered by MPB.com helping to buy, sell and trade your used kit.
