And so it is time to conclude our short series on lighting. Thank you to everyone who submitted images for our assignment on “Intentional Light”. It was great to see them and to discuss them on the show. There are some host submissions to discuss as well.   Video mentioned by Christian on what to shoot when “there is nothing to shoot”.   Enjoy the conversation and then join in on the Sunny16 Discord

As our lighting series progresses, this week we take a deep dive into Clare’s current, amazing project, inspired by and including lots of lighting. With a deadline of the Revelat show in just a few weeks, Clare has been both hugely busy and hugely creative!   Mentioned in the show: Photie man Yevonde Civilisation - The Way We Live Now Revelat   Enjoy the conversation and then join in on the Sunny16 Discord

Out of grumpiness can spring beauty. Specifically, Ade is grumpy and that seeds a rich, rambling and revealing conversation about the role vulnerability plays in our creativity. If that sounds heavy, fear not, indulge yourself

A crafty discussion about exposure and how to use it to influence you images - with a generous helping of practical tips on the technicalities of working with flash. Too many topics covered to list them all in the show notes so buckle up and listen in!   Enjoy the conversation and then join in on the Sunny16 Discord

We teased, then went quiet - but here we are with the start of our new mini-series on lighting! Actually, the launch of two new series on lighting, one here on Sunny 16 and the other on Sunny 16 Presents. Tune in to find out more.   We also have a guest co-host who will go on to host the S16P series, none other than John-Michael Mendizza

Whoosh! Spring has sprung - or at least is springing, and only if you live in the northern hemisphere - but you get the point. When our minds turn to travelling with for photography and with our cameras, what do we look for? Truly we chase the light

Welcome to our mini-series on photographic style! We’ve been wanting to discuss style for ages but didn’t feel we could do it justice in a single show so it was a great topic for our first foray into longer conversations. (Yeah, ok some of the earlier Sunny 16s did go on for hours

The reality of making this show has been a much richer discussion than any of us expected. We talk about Outsider Artists - their work, the impact they have had on the art world when finally recognised, exploitation of unintended legacies - the list is long and we have only scratched the surface!   Photographers mentioned in the show Lee Godie Miroslav Tichy Vivan Maier   Help us continue the conversation, join the Sunny16 Discord
