Beyond the Lens: Real Talk with Georgie

This isn’t just another photography podcast.

In this opening episode, Georgie sets the tone for what Lens and Life is really about — not gear, not trends, but connection through light, shadow, and story.

He shares how photography helped him see the world differently and how the journey behind the lens became a lifeline through mental illness, silence, and uncertainty. With honest reflections, personal stories, and deep gratitude for the unwavering presence of his wife, Jane, Georgie invites you into a space where moments matter — even the quiet ones.

If you’re ready to look past the surface and find meaning in the image, this is where it begins.
