Podcast Episode 143: This is Doc Day 2025
Excited to release the special Doc Day 2025 episode of the Podcast! I love how this has become a tradition, taking my travel mic to the unique documentary wedding photography conference that is Doc Day in Dublin. Every year is amazing, and 2025 was the best yet – tune in to hear me talk to speakers and attendees from all over the world, and hopefully you’ll get a great sense of the unique atmosphere; a real sense of togetherness, friendship, openness, learning and partying all in one. Doc Day truly is a special thing.
Podcast Episode 142: This is Tom Beynon
The brilliant Cambridgeshire-based photographer Tom Beynon is my guest on the Podcast this week! Tom was 5th in the world overall on TiR for 2024, and was also 5th Storyteller – this man knows his documentary.
You can also watch the video edition of this episode over on YouTube, or it’s embedded below.
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.
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…
Podcast Episode 139: This is Doc Day 2024
Excited to release the special Doc Day 2024 episode of the Podcast! I once again took a little travel mic to the amazing Doc Day – the one-of-a-kind documentary wedding photography conference created by Annie & Kevin Kheffache – and I had a *brilliant* time, mini-interviewing almost 40 photographers from all over Europe. I spoke to the founders, speakers and attendees alike; thanks so much if I subjected you to my questions and, later in the episode, some slightly tipsy after-party ramblings…! These are the fab people you can hear from on this special episode (in order of appearance):
Alex Benyon, Martin Ellard, Paul Williams, Eve Dunlop, Gavin Jacob Power, Phil Salisbury, Linda Bouritius, Tadhg Nathan, Ryan Devereux, Ronan Palliser, Andy Sharman, Kevin Kheffache, Janina Brocklesby, Marco Teixeira, Ben Lee, Aga Maru, Nathan Walker, Nadine Lotze, Andrew Billington, Dominique Shaw, Liam Shaw, Leonard Walpot, Jay Doherty, Isabelle Hattink, Yves Schepers, Melissa Beckker, Janneke Walpot, Marisa Martins, Ana Backhaus, Annie Kheffache, Tom Beynon, Soven Amatya, Dave McClelland, Oonagh Casey, Pamela Brady & Paul McGinty.
