    #15 James Simmons | Sustainable success — how to stay relevant & inspired

    Our podcast host, the talented Oli Sansom, chats with James Simmons, a brilliant wedding photographer from Australia, about ways photographers can stay inspired and relevant in the long run. A lot of photography jobs require you to do the same thing over and over again, this can put you on autopilot. Several things happen in this state: 1) your creativity and your courage to start new things, suffer. 2) you start wondering why do you do what you do. And on top of that, as new photographers enter the market every single day — everything becomes even more challenging. During the pandemic, James took the opportunity to rethink his journey, and identify whether he’s still on the right track. It was a turning point, and an excellent chance to change his mindset.

    #12 Ian Weldon | A historic approach to photography

    Today's host, Oli Sansom, a talented photographer and educator from Melbourne, chats with Ian Weldon, a musician turned into a photographer, knighted by Martin Parr himself. Ian's passion is to create historical documents for future generations to help them relate to the world as it was back then. By taking one glance at his work, you'll immediately understand why his approach is so particular within the industry. He challenges the familiar images we repeatedly see on our screens and the notion of what is considered “beautiful”. He's a strong believer in creating things that stand the test of time, which implies practicing resilience, but also being comfortable with failure. We hope this episode inspires and gives you a raw perspective on your creative work. It's always good to be challenged on something we do on autopilot.
