73: This is Patrick Lombaert

Excited to welcome the fab Patrick Lombaert on to the Podcast for episode 73 today! Patrick is one of the very best documentary wedding photographers in France, and was our 2nd-ranked French photographer for 2020, with 8 Reportage Awards and a Story Award. Not only is he a great photographer, but he has also very selflessly passed on his knowledge and helped out over 80 of his colleagues with over 170 hours of free online skype/zoom conversations too - something which I find truly remarkable, and we talk about that on the episode today, along with many other things, including: why the good photographer is not the invisible one, the in-between moments, his own reasons for entering awards, shooting during covid times, how he became a photographer, the story behind one of his specific Reportage Awards, tips for if you're feeling a bit unhappy or stagnated with your work, and much more...
