Podcast Episode 141: This is Amy Sampson
New year, new Podcast episode! And not only is the brilliant Amy Sampson our first guest of 2025, she’s also our very first guest for the video edition of the Podcast – yes, that’s right, we’re going to start filming each episode as well this year, for those who like adding some visuals to their auditory pleasure 🙂
You can watch over on YouTube, where our channel is @thisisreportage, – if you’d like to subscribe to us over there, that’d be fab – or it’s also embedded below.

Photographer of the Year 2024: Hollie Rosa Mateer
Hollie Rosa Mateer has just done what no photographer has done before: Win our Photographer of the Year title for the 2nd time (and the 2nd time in a row!). This is an absolutely incredible feat, and is testament to not only Hollie’s talent, but her consistency as well – a truly special achievement.
With an incredible 16 Awards won in the year – 9 Reportage Awards & 7 Story Awards – Hollie deservedly sits on top of our just-announced Top 100 Photographers in the World 2024 list. Congratulations, Hollie, our 2024 This is Reportage Photographer of the Year.
Storyteller of the Year 2024: Inge Kooiman
Honoured to reveal the This is Reportage Storyteller of the Year 2024: Inge Kooiman! With an incredible haul of 9 Story Awards won in the year, Inge sits deservedly on top of our just-revealed Top 25 Storytellers of the Year 2024 list. Many congratulations, Inge; to win a single Story Award is incredibly difficult, so to win 9 in a single year is truly amazing.
Podcast Episode 140: This is Bobbi Barbarich
After a bit of a break I’m happy to be back with the Podcast, and talking to the fab Bobbi Barbarich. Bobbi is based in Canada, and as well as being a great documentary wedding and family photographer (we talk about both on the episode today), she is also an educator.
Not only that, but she also manages to find some time to produce her own podcast, the fab Tilt and Shift Photography Business Podcast. I was honoured to be a guest on her Podcast recently, actually (episode #31 if you aren’t sick of the sound of my voice already!), and it’s lovely to be able to return the favour and chat to Bobbi for the TiR Podcast today. We cover so much, including:
why it’s important to look back at how far you’ve come,
intimacy: shooting close, and just how she does that,
a great story about meeting Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins,
why connection/engagement sessions may not always be for you,
the stories behind a couple of her wedding and family images,
hosting her own Podcast, the Tilt and Shift Photography Business Podcast,
why she doesn’t suffer from procrastination and tips for dealing with it yourself,
peanut butter recipes,
and so much more…
