Prime Lenses

A camera is just a tool, but spend enough time with photographers, and you’ll see them go misty-eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small, fast prime that they had in their youth. Prime Lenses is a series of interviews with photographers talking about their photography by way of three lenses that mean a lot to them. These can be interchangeable, attached to a camera, integrated into a gadget. I’m interested in the sometimes complex relationship we have with the tools we choose, why

Episode 81 - Bil Brown

2025/09/28

Like many folks I like to talk to on the show, Bil Brown is a multi-media artist. He studied writing and poetry but things changed for him when he saw a Leica round Allen Ginsberg’s neck. I was initially interested in how Bil’s commercial and political work coexisted but as you’ll hear, like me he loves to just dive in and our conversation is very wide ranging covering composition, motivation, gear, it’s a whole thing. This one’s densely packed and we keep returning to why we make photos and I

Episode 80 - Laurence Bouchard

2025/09/21

This week my guest is Laurence Bouchard, a British photographer based in Tokyo. He captures the rain soaked streets in incredible detail, his images are also most graphic illustration as much as they are photos and I wanted to speak to him about he approaches the futuristic city he calls home, what it was like to be in a short film shot on vintage glass, and whether he’s fully acclimatised now he’s 20 years into his time in Japan.More about this show:A camera is just a tool but spend enough time

Pete Souza is a former Whitehouse photographer, serving during the latter part of the Reagan Presidency, but was better known to me as the head of photography for the Obama Whitehouse where he and his team made an archive of almost two million images, made history by capturing the first official presidential portrait on a digital camera, and captured moments big and small for posterity. Pete has also had an interesting post presidency, as a private citizen he is outspoken and uses his images to

My guest today is Goughie, a photographer and YouTuber in the UK who shoots a variety of photo projects on his various systems to share with his audience online. From posting to a small number of folks back in 2019, he has grown his following and as you’ll hear, I think has a healthy balance to his work online. It’s in service of the photos he wants to make, not the other way around.More about this show:A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you’ll see them go misty

My guests today are Charys Schuler and Marwan El Mozayen from Silvergrain Classics. In an age of AI and digital consumption on ever increasing numbers of screens, they are charting a path in the opposite direction. Analogue photography of all kinds is celebrated every quarter in their beautiful magazine which they produce in Germany and send around the world. They are also half of a new company Silver Bridges, helping to bring back the wonderful Widelux camera, a favourite of many photographers and

Welcome to a slightly different format this week as my guests are Joel Meyerowitz, Maggie Barrett, Manon Ouimet and Jacob Perlmutter. They are the creative team behind Two Strangers Trying not to Kill Each Other, a documentary following the life of Maggie and Joel, two artists reckoning with aging, their relationship with one another and their work. A chance encounter with Jacob and Manon in the Café in Wetzlar resulted in an invitation to London to record with all four of them to talk about making

Mynxxi White is a photographer and filmmaker from New York City. Specialising in celebrity portrait and commercial work she started out as a makeup artist and then creative director but was frustrated by some of her collaborators to the point that nearly 10 years ago she picked up the camera herself and hasn’t looked back. We missed each other in Germany earlier this year so I’m thrilled that we got to sit down and talk about our shared love of image making, the work she’s looking to take on next

Prime Lenses Episode 74 - Jack Lodge

2025/08/10

Jack Lodge is a landscape and wildlife photographer based in the south of England. This conversation is well timed as he’s gradually moving from purely landscape to wildlife with a little bit of astral in there for good measure, and if I had to guess I wouldn’t be surprised if film showed up at some point in the not too distant future. He was lovely company, I hope you enjoy this chat with Jack.More about this show:A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you’ll see them

2025/08/03

This week on the show I spoke with Sam aka 2bitboy, the creator of the 2bittoy, a modification kit for the gameboy camera. You can 3D print this add on kit, take the innards of your Gameboy Camera out, put them in this shell and then use the camera with a variety of lenses. This was exactly the sort of madness I wanted to delve into and Sam was kind enough to give up some of his weekend to talk to me about it. This is nerdy in the best ways possible. I hope you enjoy it.More about this show:A camera

Marcus Haslam is a photographer from the south of England who has retraced his roots in the north to make pictures of his hometown.

2025/07/20

Scott Toepfer is part of a proud tradition of folks who drop out of what they were doing to drop in on their calling. He has worked as a microbiologist, photographer, producer, director, I’d say triple threat but I’m not sure that covers it all. I first discovered him through his 2011 book It’s better in the Wind. The book accompanied a short film and when I started the podcast I realised I should try to combine stuff I love, cameras and motorcycles, into one guest. This is a classic prime lenses

Gaston Shutters is a photographer and entrepreneur. Like me he’s dabbled in a bunch of industries from tech to tattoos but as you’ll hear, the through line is a consistent love of making and tools. Now, at his company Owl Krown, he’s got the band back together and is making a host of great looking straps. Gaston was in the office the day I spoke to him so there’s some coming and goings which I think add a bit of texture and we end on a lens I’d love to find a good copy of. We could have talked all

My guest today is Brandon Ruffin. Brandon was Leica’s ambassador for the M11-D but as you’ll hear throughout the conversation he is a lover of image making on just about any type of digital or film camera. He understands the importance of experience and the impact that can then have on the things you make. He also works at Google on the camera team and I am so glad that someone with a real understanding of photography is embedded there. A pairing of art and science is where the magic happens so I’ll
