TiR Peer Praise: Sonal Dalmia on Niklesh Malkani
Absolutely loving these ‘TiR Peer Praise’ pieces, where our members talk about a fellow photographer who they think deserves to be highlighted and praised in some way – whether that’s something to do with them as a photographer, or as a person.
Today, Sonal Dalmia (TiR / Website) is talking about Niklesh Malkani (TiR / Website):
TiR Peer Praise: Soven Amatya on Nikola Smernic
So happy to start the weekend with a brand new ‘TiR Peer Praise’ piece! We thought it would be nice for our members to be able to praise and recognise fellow members – whether that’s highlighting something about their work that they love, or something about them as people; whatever the reason they deserve credit for.
Soven Amatya has very kindly sent us a number of pieces, talking about different members, which we’re going to publish separately over the coming weeks. Today, he’s talking about Nikola Smernic:

Delighted to have the great Aleks Kus with us for episode 37 of the This is Reportage Podcast! Based in Slovenia, winner of 7 Reportage Awards and a Story Award, Aleks was a delight to talk to, and really inspirational. Tune in today as he shares so much, including:

how he’s blind in one eye (how that happened and how its affected him),
his journey into weddings and his wedding motto,
tips for finding and honing your own style,
some film recommendations,
happiness, and what his time in hospital taught him,
the story of one of his Reportage Awards,
why he personally enters awards,
why communication is key,
knowing his wife from age 7 and why they always shoot together,
being a parent and a wedding photographer too,
his top tips for just starting out,
his all-time favourite image,
and much more…
TiR Peer Praise: Chris Denner on Ben Minnaar
So excited to bring you a brand-new feature today: ‘TiR Peer Praise’. We thought it would be nice for our members to be able to highlight and praise another member in some way – whether that’s because they love the other photographer’s work, or perhaps they’ve helped them out recently, been an inspiration to them, or just whatever reason they think that person deserves to be recognised for.
For our very first one, Chris Denner (top-left) has reached out to talk about Ben Minnaar (top-right). Here’s what Chris had to say about Ben:
