Customer Reviews
Insightful
Ben Smith’s podcast is one of the best on photography. I especially like that he focuses on the photographer rather than foolishly trying to make it a conversation between two equals. Two pet peeves: first, he is at times too intimidated by the photographers to push back or probe further when necessary (Ian Barry’s offensive comments re sexual harassment, Chris Anderson’s perennial evasiveness about his post-processing, etc). Second, he doesn’t own up to it in subsequent episodes after listeners call him out on social media. Public acknowledgement, a sincere apology, and pledge to do better (followed by action, of course) are owed and would elevate the podcast. Taking accountability reflects maturity and professionalism, and it would deepen trust and credibility with listeners.
I’m glad.
That the millionth episode didn’t have any yucky girls on it!
Great learning and inspiration tool
Listening to Ben Smith’s Small Voice podcast is probably the best one thing a photographer can do to open the mind, learn, get inspired, and improve one’s process. I discovered the work of photographers I never knew and found the authentic and witty conversations invaluable for advancing my journey in photography. Thank you Ben for covering all the relevant aspects that are unique to each photographer as only an experienced pro could do.
