Sand, Sea, Sky and the dangers of shingle beaches!

Welcome to the Photo Mentors podcast. This weeks guest is Lucie Averill. Lucie is landscape photographer based in Cornwall, who specialises in shooting seascapes. In 2020 she has Commended Image in Landscape Photographer of the year and also received a nomination for an image in Close Up Photographer of the Year. I first came across her work on Instagram where I was struck with simplicity and minimalist style of some of her seascape images. They are a real balance of sand, sea and sky - Lucie has a real eye for patterns and details that reveal themselves in the right light. Go and check out Lucie's work!

Parking in London and candid public photography

This weeks guest is Street and commercial photographer Nick Turpin Nick started his career at The Independent newspaper as a Staff Photographer, before he headed of in to the world of commercial and advertising photography, all shot in his documentary street style. Nick prefers to use the term 'Candid Public Photography' as it is more about how humans interact in a variety of public spaces, not just the literal street, Nick is probably best known for his 'On The Night Bus' project where he photographed people through the steamed up windows of a London night bus. It is a project he talks about in this episode, as well as his The French, Autos and Exodus projects, the latter of which was shot whilst London was in Lockdown during 2020.

Mud, Theatres and intentional camera movement

This weeks guest is landscape photographer Bill Ward. In 2015 Bill won the Adobe Award in the prestigious Landscape Photographer of the year awards, and had a commended in last years awards. He has also won Best Seascape at the 2019 Scottish Landscape Photographer of the year competition. In fact his landscape images feature regularly in commended and nominated lists in competitions around the world and he has been published in numerous magazines. Bill loves to travel and is just at home photographing in cities as he is on his beloved North East coastline. And thankfully Bill’s day job gives him the chance to travel and explore new places.
