Johan Brooks - Fax machines, robots + sumo Photography Insights - important industry interviews by Phlogger

    • Visual Arts

My name is Andrew Walmsley and your listening to episode 158 of photography insights.  This is the show that interviews people from the photography world.



I'm really excited to introduce this week's guest too.  It's not often we head across the other side of the world towards Asia.  This week I was very privileged to talk with Johan Brooks.  Johan is a street and documentary photography from Japan.  He's lived in the UK and America so provides a different viewpoint to life in Japan.  He has some fun street images but also some interesting documentary project work.



We talk about a couple of these which include the "fire corps" and "young mountains" as he calls them.  Please do check out the images, especially of the sumo as you will see how they compliment the story.  Johan is a very respectful guy and talks about shooting protests on the streets of Japan, as it sounds very different to other countries. You certainly get a flavour of the country and my outcome is the word "respect". 



So in this one we chat about:


olympic games
protests
black lives mattter
fax machines
robots
humour
morals
colour vs monochrome
humanity

News

For those of you in the film community you will start to hear more and more about Pyro 510 developer soon.  James Lane at Zone Imaging lab is moving forward with distributing this in the UK. He's updated his safety data sheet and added lots more films to his list for development instructions.



In personal news our family has adopted a puppy so its interesting and fun times here.  It's also why I decided to get organised and sell a load of darkroom gear recently (few items left on Facebook if you are interested).
