Episode 19 // Glen E Friedman

If you don’t know the name Glen E Friedman, you’ll almost certainly know his work, and if you don’t know the work you’ve not had your eyes open for the last 40 years. Glen is responsible for some of the most iconic imagery of the skateboarding, punk and hip hop scenes, and someone I've been a big fan of for a long time. I first encountered Glen’s work when I picked up Keep Your Eyes Open off my brother’s bookshelf when I was about 15 - a collection of Glen’s work with the band Fugazi. At this stage I was shooting live music around Leeds and Bradford, and in keeping with the title of the book had my eyes opened by the intimacy and energy within the work, and the relationship that was there between photographer and band. As someone who has been pretty well interviewed in the past, I didn’t want to ask Glen too much that he’d been asked already, and I think the result is a great chat. Hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did! You should find him on Instagram @glenefriedman, where you can see a host of his archive images, and also keep up to date with whatever he has in the works for the future. www.asphoto.uk/neutral-exposure-podcast

Episode 18 // Nick Guttridge

Nick Guttridge is primarily an architectural photographer, though in recent years has also started producing performance and portrait work in collaboration with dance artists. In the chat we talk about how Nick balances these two worlds. Nick started out as a product design student before getting started and building up his photography career, and we dig into where his sensibility for architectural photography came from, and how he's maintained his client relationships over the years. Of course, there's a bit of nerding out over gear as well. You should check Nick's work out at www.nickguttridge.com and follow him on instagram @nickguttridge. Great to spend the time chatting with Nick, and I hope you enjoy the conversation! www.asphoto.uk/neutral-exposure-podcast @neutral.exposure

Episode 17 // Benji Reid

Benji Reid is a photographer based in Manchester working on what he self-terms Choreophotlism, which blends dance choreography and physical theatre with his photography practice. We chatted about why Benji turned to photography about 15 yeas ago, and how his career and unfolded since then, and the challenges he’s faced along the way. We talk about moving from a world in which he was directing live productions within a team, to producing still imagery - often self portraits - within a 5x4 foot home studio. You should check Benji’s work out at www.benjireid.com and follow him on instagram @benjireid. I really enjoyed getting to know Benji in this chat, and I hope you dig the conversation! www.asphoto.uk/neutral-exposure-podcast @neutral.exposure

Episode 16 // Yan Wang Preston

Yang Wang Preston is a landscape photographer based in West Yorkshire. Yan’s professional photography career started relatively recently, having previously worked in medicine, and this change in direction coincided with her moving from China to West Yorkshire. We chat about how her projects have found a balance between the artistic and academic worlds, particularly her projects Mother River and Forest which are both beautiful aesthetic works, while also being close cultural research studies of the changing Chinese natural and urban landscapes. It was great to hear also what Yan is working on at the moment to unpack her own sense of home in the post-industrial Northern English landscape she now calls home. You should check out Yan’s work at www.yanwangpreston.com and find her on instagram @yanwangpreston. Really Nice chat, I hope you enjoy it! www.asphoto.uk/neutral-exposure-podcast

Episode 14 // Paul Reiffer, Joe Cornish & Lau Nørgaard (Phase One)

This is a double drop week, with something a little different. This episode was recorded as a webinar for Teamwork and Phase One, which I hosted last week, where I was joined by landscape photographers Joe Cornish and Paul Reiffer, along with Lau Nørgaard from the R&D team at Phase One. It’s a super nerdy chat about Phase One camera systems, so a warning for anyone who doesn’t like tech talk, you might want to skip this one. Being someone who loves super nerdy camera talk, I enjoyed it a lot! I have some Neutral Exposure discount codes for Capture One Pro software, so if you would like a cheaper route into using the best RAW processor on the market, drop me a line alsimmonsuk@yahoo.co.uk.

Episode 13 // Alex Ingram

Alex Ingram is an advertising and editorial photographer based in London. This conversation was recorded back in March, with Alex back at home in Pembrokeshire escaping the spread of Coronavirus in the Big Smoke. We talk about some bodies of work that Alex has produced over the years about his hometown (or very small city) of St Davids, and also his experience of leaving and moving to London to get started in the industry, after leaving an Architecture degree to follow a photography career instead. This career started with him assisting photographers full time, before picking up his own commissions, and also keeping busy with ongoing personal projects, which you can check out at www.alexingramphoto.com. You can also find Alex on Instagram @alexingramphoto, and Neutral Exposure @neutral.exposure. I hope you enjoy! Website: www.asphoto.uk/neutral-exposure-podcast

Episode 12 // Gered Mankowitz

It’s fair to say Gered Mankowitz is a legendary music photographer, responsible for some truly iconic images. He started out in the early 60s and worked through until the early 2000s, working in the music industry and also in the world of advertising. He set up his first studio when he was 17, and is particularly well known for his images of The Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix from this time, but his photography helped to define many bands and artists throughout his career. Oh, and it was Peter Sellers who first introduced him to photography! A great conversation with a great photographer, I hope you enjoy. You can check out Gered's work at www.mankowitz.com and on Instagram @gered_mankowitz. Website: www.asphoto.uk/neutral-exposure-podcast
