Get even more excited for Doc Day by listening to some of the speakers and co-founder on our Podcast!
Doc Day 2022 is just two weeks away, and we can’t wait! We’re honoured to be partnered with this unique documentary conference, which is the brainchild of TiR members Kevin Kheffache and Annie Kheffache. It sold out ages ago, and we can’t wait to join photographers from all over the world in Dublin on Feb 22nd 2022.
Here at TiR, I’ve been lucky enough to interview some of the speakers and one of the co-founders for our Podcast, and I thought it would be nice to collate the interviews in a post, so, if you’re interested, you can get to know these fab people a little bit more before we all meet in Dublin:

Honoured to chat to the fab Justine Boulin for episode 103 of the Podcast! Based in Canada, Justine has won 9 Reportage Awards and 2 Story Awards from us, and was in our Top 50 Photographers Worldwide for 2020. She was also a judge for us right back in Collection 2; something which she talks about on the episode today, as well as many other things, including:
approaching each wedding without any preconceived ideas or judgements,
why her very first wedding was such a good one,
a 21km run as her first date with her husband,
why less gear can be a good thing,
how having a heart attack gave her a new perspective on life,
and much more…
