Sunny 16 Podcast

On this weeks show, John Clare and Graeme are joined by professional photographer and artist Craig Fleming to talk about how his rekindled love of shooting film not only inspired his personal photography, but also helped him find more work, and helped keep his passion for photography alive when work threatened to drag it down.   Find Craig here: http://www.craigfleming.net/ https://www.vogue.it/photovogue/portfolio/?id=31578 https://twitter.com/cmfleming70?lang=en-gb https://www.instagram.com/craigfleming2020/   If you want to join us online for next weeks One Hour Challenge, drop us a line at sunny16podcast@gmail.com and we'll send you a link on the night

On this weeks show, Rachel and Clare give the hapless Graeme an insight into the kind of planning and preparation that goes into a successful shoot, exhibition, event or whatever it may be - turns our it's a lot! Given how little time many of us have to actually take pictures, we hope a chat about how to get the most from that time will be useful. As part of this we've also decided that in two weeks, on December the 17th, we're going to attempt another one hour challenge, but this time we're all going to plan in advance and see if that helps! We'd love you to join us virtually for it and take part, so get planning your shoot and there will be more details soon!   Here's the link to Rachel's music!  https://rojamusica.bandcamp.com/album/promises-i-should-have-kept-e-p

In a break from our usual programming schedule, this week we have for you the first episode of I Dream of Cameras, a show created for us by Jeff Greenstein and Gabe Sachs, two Hollywood producers who just happen to be avid camera enthusiasts and collectors, talking about their collections and cameras past, and what they mean to them.   Future episodes will be on the Sunny 16 Presents feed, so if you enjoy this, make sure you're subscribed to it!   Acid Trumpet by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3340-acid-trumpet License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Got a real treat for you this week, with multi award winning photographer Brian Griffin, one of the most respected and lauded photographers of the 70's and '80's, a photographer who not only managed to make photo's of business leaders into surrealist art, but also shot some of the biggest names in music in the 80's, and is responsible for some iconic record covers.   We had a great chat with Brian, but we only got to scratch the surface of his experiences.
