James Brittain changed the pace of his life from news photojournalism to architectural photography and is now recognised as a multi award winning international exponent of his craft. Many genres of photography require the photographer to gather quickly, however, this, is a world where time slows and if there were ever a photographic occupation focused upon quality over quantity, this would be it.

Laird Kay is an aviation photographer. He makes extraordinary pictures of aircraft, often helping them to take on a living animal like existence, crafting unique angles to bring these man made machines to life. His career started in this very niche industry by embracing a suggestion we often moot as creatives; do what you love. A self confessed aircraft geek, there is not doubt he has found the correct 'flightpath' in life.

Australian photographer and mentor/coach, Jai Long, caused a storm on Instagram this summer by declaring that nobody wants a documentary photographer at their wedding! Jai is back for his concluding episode to share his thoughts about why he said that and the fallout. He also shares thoughts on being able to pivot, whilst in the introduction today, my own feelings about the future, how being described as a 'non-viable' occupation in parliament stings, and briefly why I think as creatives we still have great opportunity.

October 1st, 2020. It's an important date for the show. Exactly four months since launch, well over the 100K download target and we welcome aboard a new supporter; MPB, which trades thousands of cameras and lenses every week, across Europe and the US. Matt Barker founded the company eleven years ago, an enthusiastic amateur photographer who saw a gap in the market for a company specialising in online used sales.

Today’s photo story is about an Australian electrician, a café and restaurant owner, a gold miner, (albeit for a short while) a wedding shooter, and now educator, possibly in the future a pilot too as you’ll hear. Jai Long, has an entrepreneurial spirit to him and a never say never edge. Some may say pivoting is the new constant in business, that being able to change it up is how we succeed in fast moving industries, pandemic or no pandemic. Jai agrees and talks of how being hungry to learn, build, succeed then reposition could be the recipe for success.

Today with the help of two guests, London fashion photographer Max Lacome and photography mentor Anna Hardy, I'm keen to discuss confidence. Max unpicks the genre of fashion for all its drama, glamour and bravado and also reveals a little of his anxieties despite his status as an established and respected photographer in the capital. And Anna will raise the spectre of a prize hike and why now could be the right time to consider it. As always your thoughts and comments are very welcome by writing to: studio@photographydaily.show 

Going into hiding for making photo stories about protest is not something photographer Ryan Vizzions expected to need to do.

Today, a project that changed many young peoples’ lives, 'Being In-between', a photographic series of portraits with recorded interviews of girls aged between ten and twelve – it’s a project that explores going from childhood to young adulthood, a study if you will of cause and effect too; how sensitive we are growing up to what we see, hear and experience. And it’s a project that seems very personal to its photographer Carolyn Mendelsohn as you'll find out.
