Podcast Episode 71: This is Marek Troszczynski
Welcome to episode 71 of the Podcast, where I’m thrilled to be chatting to the fab Marek Troszczynski! Marek was joint-28th in the World on TiR in 2020, and joint 24th on This is Reportage: Family – this is a man who really knows his stuff when it comes to documentary photography! But not only is he a fantastic photographer, he’s a truly lovely guy too; really enjoyed chatting with him. Tune in today as Marek talks all about:
his experience of being a groom himself (and thus on the other side of the camera), how and why he became a photographer, shooting a wedding with 1000 guests, the story behind one of his specific Reportage Awards, photographing his own family, and so much more…
Podcast Episode 70: This is Elke Van Rulo
Excited to be joined by the fab Elke Van Rulo for this week’s Podcast! Recently ranked 5th in Belgium on This is Reportage: Family for 2020, with 4 Reportage Family Awards and a Family Story Award – and having already picked up two more Family Story Awards in our first Collection of 2021 – Elke shares so many great tips and insights into documentary family photography today, including:
the importance of talking when it comes to building trust and rapport, why she started to study photography when she did, her move to America and then back again, day in the life sessions, the value of having her own family photographed, our Netflix synopsis game, photographing her friend’s child’s birth, and much more…
Podcast Episode 69: This is Dan Morris
I had such a great time chatting to the lovely human being that is Dan Morris for this week’s Podcast! Originally from South Wales (which we may mention a little bit in the episode…), Dan is now based in Cheltenham in the UK, and he captures weddings all over Europe. He recently won 5 Reportage Awards in a single Collection, which is a proper achievement, and Dan talks about one of those specific Awards on the episode, as well as many other things, including:
his journey from electrical engineer to photographer, his love of colour, a very funny (but stressful to hear!) story of how he lost his wallet whilst travelling between weddings, his very special sausage dog, how 2020 was for him, his spot-coloured capture of the Olympic Torch Relay, why and how he ‘hides in plain sight’, ‘The Wedding Street Podcast’ that he does with Rob Edge, and much more…
Podcast Episode 68: This is Ang Waterton
A real pleasure to chat to the fab Ang Waterton for episode 68 of the Podcast today! This is a Podcast from one Cornwall to another, as Ang is based in Cornwall, Canada (whereas I’m in Cornwall in the UK). A brilliant wedding and family photographer, Ang recently won 3 Family Story Awards in a single Collection (on our sister-site, This is Reportage: Family) – something that we talk about on the episode, as well as many other things, including:
her tips for people just starting out as a documentary family photographer, trans-Atlantic relationships, her journey from teacher to photographer, her profound hatred of socks, the importance of taking on legacy work for her clients, our Netflix synopsis game, and so much more…
Podcast Episode 67: This is Richard Skins
The very lovely Richard Skins is my guest on the Podcast this week! Rich was ranked joint-37th in the world on This is Reportage in 2020, with an amazing haul of 5 Reportage Awards and 3 Story Awards won in the year. Join us today as Rich talks all about:
how, ten years ago, he never thought he’d be a photographer (but he’s so glad that he is), something very funny that happened to him at a wedding (and which there is video proof of!), the story behind one of his specific Reportage Awards (which may be my personal favourite ‘Giant Jenga’ capture), tips and advice concerning our Story Awards, thoughts on destination weddings, web design, auto-culling software, and loads more too…
