One of my greatest joys as a filmmaker is in producing documentaries celebrating the work of other photographers and artists, and digging deep into their stories to see what we can learn to help us on our own creative journeys.

Rachael Talibart

I interview Rachael Talibart who has found her niche in photography shooting waves and coastlines. She shares her story with us, including the personal experimentation and professional advice she recieved which helped her to discover the subject matter which keeps her creatively fulfilled, and helps her produce beautiful work which constantly recieves critical acclaim. I hope her story encourages you on your own journey to discover a direction for your work.

Joshua K. Jackson

I head out onto the streets of Soho in London, with Joshua K. Jackson, to talk about creating mood and mystery in your street photography. He shares his philosophy for capturing the city he lives in, including how he uses the concept of 'the curiosity gap' to mask and abstract his subjects, encouraging those who view his work to lean in and spend more time with the image to find out more. I also offer some thoughts on work ethic and defining a style for your own work.

Gabrielle Motola

I sit down with Gabrielle Motola to hear how she goes about approaching strangers to take their portraits. This was all captured during her summer 2019 roadtrip, on her motorbike around Scotland, to create images with local people and collect their stories.

Jack Lowe

I interview Jack Lowe about his mammoth 10 year project to capture all 238 RNLI lifeboat stations and their crews around the coast of the UK using the 170 year old process of wet plate collodion photography. I hope you are as inspired by his story as I am.

Fiona Lark

I head up to the Lake District to interview Fiona Lark about her dramatic self portraits. She shares how and why she shoots her images, and how she came upon her style. In the era of the selfie she has a refreshingly earthy approach to shooting images of herself which have depth and texture to them, and go a long way to conveying personality and story.

Phil Sharp

I sit down with one of my favourite photographers, Phil Sharp, to ask him about how he developed his headshot style, how he thinks about his lighting, and how he draws his subjects out to consistently create such evocative portraits.

Simon Baxter

I talk to Simon Baxter about his choice to focus locally in his photography. The majority of his award winning woodland imagery has been captured within 20 minutes of his home in the North York Moors. He suggests that this helps him to dig deeper and learn the seasonal rhythms of the landscape and capture more nuanced work. I think it teaches us all that perhaps our best imagery will be produced closer to home than we may expect, if we are willing to explore.

Iness Rychlik

I talk to Iness Rychlik about how she uses her self portraits to face her pain, find her courage and to pass on a redemptive message to others who are facing similar struggles.

Maarten Rots

I travelled to Setubal in Portugal to catch up with Maarten Rots and talk to him about his beautiful abstract photography, his pop up exhibitions, his magazine 'March & Rock', and what it's like doing all this while living the van life and travelling around Europe with his partner Anne and their little dog Laika.

Tiffany Roubert

I talk to Tiffany Roubert about her photography with her wife Carla. She lets us in on what it's like to bring the camera into your partnership to capture intimate moments, how to set boundaries, and the experience of sharing your relationship with the world.
