This week in a special episode I speak to Dan Rubin about his beta testing of the new software by Affinity and what a powerful and free. creative suite of tools means for the next generation of creatives.More about this show:A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you’ll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth. Prime Lenses is a series of interviews with photographers talking about their photography by way of three lenses that mean a lot to them. These can be interchangeable, attached to a camera, integrated into a gadget, I’m interested in the sometimes complex relationship we have with the tools we choose, why they can mean so much and how they make us feel.

Episode 86 - Ted Forbes
My guest today is Ted Forbes. A photographer and educator from the US who has made videos online for over 16 years. He released a book last year summarising his thoughts and feeling about the art form and spends much of his time on workshops traveling the world and sharing knowledge. I’ve watched Ted’s videos for pretty much all of those 16 years so the opportunity to spend a hour speaking with him was a real treat, I think you’ll get a kick out of our chat.More about this show:A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you’ll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth.

Episode 85 - Davide De Martis
Davide De Martis is an Italian photographer known for his portraiture of cars and people. He is a student of the visual arts and a treat to spend time with. I tracked Davide down because when I was in Germany at the Leica event, someone had driven there in a very fancy Lamborghini with Italian plates. I posted a picture to socials and was challenged by a listener to find the owner of the vehicle and ask them what the story was. It turns out that Davide shoots for the famous Italian car brand and had pitched the idea of driving to the event in the car and then writing about it for Italian Rolling Stone. Wild eh? Once I had tracked him down it seemed like I should get him on the show, he obliged and here we are. Some conversations with new guests are like long chat with an old friend and this is most definitely one of those. I would drop everything to sit down with Davide again over a coffee in a heartbeat. I hope you enjoy this chat with Davide.More about this show:A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you’ll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth.

A camera is just a tool, but spend enough time with photographers, and you’ll see them go misty-eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small, fast prime that they had in their youth.
