Reflections is a series of spoken observational pieces shaped by a life behind the camera, behind the microphone, and in creative spaces between. Drawing on years spent observing people, places, and moments, each episode shares a single thought or theme about creativity, work, and the way ordinary days unfold. This podcast isn't about photography as a craft. It's about the way we notice things, make sense of our days, and carry ideas around with us.

    A short story about legacy, and why the smallest, most throwaway things often last the longest. Reflections is a daily podcast featuring short thoughts on life, creativity, and how ordinary days unfold. Each episode is a single spoken piece, shaped by years spent watching people and moments through a camera, sometimes about the art of photography, and sometimes the act of life. Leave comments for episodes via our sister show's Substack. Or contact the show with comments to reflections@breathepictures.com Some episodes sit with making things, others wander into work, travel, memories, or the habit of noticing what tends to be overlooked. Nothing is explained or wrapped up neatly. These are just honest reflections, shared one at a time. Reflections are there for the in-between moments of the day. Something to listen to while you're doing something else, and a chance to recognise a feeling, a thought, or a moment you might have had yourself.
