A Small Voice: Conversations with photographers and filmmakers

Love this podcast, ended up listening to all of them. Its not just what you can learn about photography through other photographers experience its also provides an insight into so many events, places and life experiences that makes it interesting on many extra levels. Well done to Ben Smith for producing it.

An excellent podcast, a great resource. Always well prepared and versed in the photographers, allowing the discussions to go deeper than a shorter written piece might. There’s an element of ‘by photographers for photographers’ to this, although it is by no means elitist in tone or exclusionary. Ben is incredibly photo literate, and leads discussions of great depth and interest. He has an excellent technique, gets out of the way and provides his guests with room to flesh out their stories l.

But stop going on about the pandemic. Here for photography.

Since a fellow photographer recommended it, I have listened to the entire back catalogue of Ben Smith’s podcast, A Small Voice and enjoyed almost every episode thoroughly. I now look forward to each new episode eagerly. Ben’s manner and personality seems perfectly suited to this conversational style interview and his focus on the photographer and the craft or process of taking photos is a refreshing change from photography channels and podcasts who tend to focus on gear. I love listening in and have learned an enormous amount about what it takes to have a career in photography, but more importantly — as a novice photographer I am continually inspired by these conversations. Thanks Ben.
