Phlogger (Andrew Walmsley)

Tuan Bui - episode 68.  We came across Tuan from his beautiful work in the PhotoKlassik magazine.  He's a wedding & film shooter from Chicago who loves travelling too.  What I found really interesting was his choice of technology - lots of polaroids.  This seemed a strange concept especially in the world of high resolution and detail found in the digital world.  So have a listen to why Tuan shoots using large format &...

For episode 64 I'm going back to my roots with this one, my very first interview was with a street photographer.  I think its just something in some of us to shoot in this way.  So today I've finally had a chance to catch up with the man of shadows and highlights, John Hughes. John is a really good force for street photography, he speaks the truth and from the heart.  If he doesn't like something he will tell you, so if... Read more

So, for episode 63 you have had to listen to me, myself and I.  Due to having a few days away with my family I have been a little busy to organise a guest this week.  Sorry but this was partially due to me being poorly last week and cancelled my guest - first-ever time!!!

For episode 60 I'm delighted to bring you a quality photographer and friend of mine too - Leon Broomhead.  Leon is what you might call an experimental photographer, shooting styles that involve fashion and abstract but not directly.

What can I say about Leon, well he is a thoughtful guy, who thinks a lot about his work and how to get the desired outcome.  His work is all about pushing boundaries both in a technical wa... Read more
