Really nice, intelligent conversations around image making

I am a photographer so I was intrigued to listen to this podcast when it came out. Jonathan is a great interviewer and storyteller and has a nice little Scottish accent too! :) I enjoy the unique and intelligent subjects of each podcast and it really feels like I’m in the room with each conversation. I have learned a lot.
