Honoured to reveal the This is Reportage Storyteller of the Year 2022: David Scholes! Yes, he’s done it again – winning our SOTY for the second year running; a truly incredible achievement.

Podcast Episode 122: This is Dries Renglé
Finally I interview the man who has been mentioned by *so many* of my previous Podcast guests: The fab Dries Renglé! Dries is one of Belgium’s very best wedding photographers, was 7th in the World on TiR for 2021, has won 13 awards from us, and, as I mentioned, has been spoken about on so many of our previous episodes – he was even brought up at NineDots in London, which I just returned from last week (and it’s the reason why my voice is so hoarse, actually, totally lost it there!), within the fab Sanne De Block’s mainstage presentation. So fab to finally manage to chat to the man himself, who has had such a big impact on a lot of very talented photographers’ lives. Dries talks about so much on the episode today, including:
why it’s so important to shoot and show what you love,
how he captured one of his Reportage Awards,
tips on shooting portraits and couple time,
his previous life in animation,
shooting his very first wedding (which was his sister’s!)
being part of the Mind The Moment collective and the workshops they do,
and much more…
Podcast Episode 105: This is Phil Salisbury
An absolute pleasure to chat to the one and only Phil Salisbury for Podcast #105! Based in the UK, Phil recently won 4 Reportage Awards from us in our first Collection of 2022 – an incredible achievement – and he talks about a couple of those Awards on the episode today, as well as much more, including:
his journey to becoming a photographer and the transferable skills from his past jobs
shooting close and how he lights up the dancefloor (both with his flash and his dance moves…!)
his hatred of baked beans
our Netflix synopsis game
top tips for improving your documentary coverage
thoughts on judging our This is Reportage: Family awards
teenage celebrity crushes
and much more!
Podcast Episode 104: This is Ana Backhaus
Such a pleasure to chat to the fab Ana Backhaus for Podcast #104! Originally from Portugal, and now living in Dubai, Ana was ranked 25th in the world on This is Reportage: Family for 2021, with 6 Reportage Family Awards and a Family Story Award won in the year. We talk about one of her original awards in the episode today, as well as many other things, including:
her documentary family workflow and approach from enquiry to delivery,
quite a few questions about her previous career as a flight attendant,
why the lack of control in documentary is so exhilarating,
our Netflix synopsis game,
why it’s so important to be resilient,
social media and self-sabotage,
and much more…
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:
