#29 How Heavy Is Your Lens, With Dave Shrimpton

The Large Format Photography Podcast ·

2020/05/22

Eventually, when some form of “normal” re-establishes itself, we will meet Dave in real life, spend some hours with him and live in his world a bit. Until then let’s make do with this great conversation between three large format enthusiasts. Dave’s links https://daveshrimpton.co.uk/ https://www.instagram.com/dave_shrimpton/ Things we chatted about on the show: Jeff Perry got a few mentions, former guest and the genius behind 20th Century

#28 PROJECT: Svein Olav Humberset

The Large Format Photography Podcast ·

2020/05/01

Our guest this week thoroughly enjoyed the words of wisdom that Borut shared with us on our last show (as did many others), not worrying when it doesn’t go to plan, if the shots don’t work out. Own the emotion, learn and move on. Incorporate it into your art; make it a part of the “ritual” of creativity. It was against this background the host of Viewfinder Vikings Podcast, commercial and fine art photographer Svein Olav Humberset joined us to talk mainly about photographic projects, why bother, the

#27 Topshit Photography With Borut Peterlin

The Large Format Photography Podcast ·

2020/04/18

Another show that's been long in the making, and it comes three weeks in to a UK lockdown due to COVID-19, with photographers trying to make sense of it all, trying to find motivation, maybe dealing with anxiety or frustration. Borut Peterlin is a man consumed with his art-work, seeking self-expression through a +100 year old medium, communing with nature, exploring the meaning of rituals in life. Borut’s YouTube channel is a must watch, Simon you need to play it through your TV in your living room,

#26 Wayne Setser & The Long Awaited Email Show

The Large Format Photography Podcast ·

2020/04/03

We’ve been threatening to have an email / listener show for a while so we thought this would be a good opportunity to do that in a short show, of course it didn’t quite work out that way. It’s a good job we didn’t have any more emails to read out. Wayne’s links https://www.facebook.com/PhotoByWayneSetser/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/wsetser/ Things we chatted about on the show: We answered emails from; Chris Frear https://www.chrisfrear.co.uk/index Tom

#25 Tangentially Speaking with Peter Defty

The Large Format Photography Podcast ·

2020/03/20

I am not sure what to say about this other than what a great guest, making great work and with a wonderful story to tell. Feeling very inspired in these dark days of plague and pestilence after two hours with Peter. In other news, we finally read out Jeremy North's email from January, never let it be said that we would ever leave a good email behind.

Today we chat to Sam West who, along with Bob Crowley was behind the successful 2014 Kickstarter campaign to bring back a 4x5 Positive Negative instant film.

#23 Travis Linville, Nose to Ass Brass & Glass.

The Large Format Photography Podcast ·

2020/02/14

After a recommendation by Bob Matter and many months of being “on our list”, it was with great pleasure that we finally got to talk with Travis Linville about his love for wet plate portraits and analogue photography. Travis lives near Chicago so of course listeners to the Classic Lenses Podcast will know that we had to start the conversation by asking him what the weather was like. http://www.travisbrianlinville.com/ Things we chatted about on the show: Why not come and join us the “LFPP 2020

#22 Bill Schwab, Photostock, LFPP Festival In The...

The Large Format Photography Podcast ·

2020/01/24

Bill has been on the LFPP radar pretty much since we started the show and Graham Vasey mentioned him as they had met on one of his Iceland organised trips. Andrew had heard Mat Marrash talk about Bill years ago on the FPP when he interviewed Bill at his “PhotoStock” annual gathering in Michigan. Well it’s taken us to show 22 but we are sure glad we finally managed to get him on, hope you enjoy the chat. Things we chatted about on the show Andrew bought an old lens on ebay – he can't pronounce

#21 Intrepid To The Max!

The Large Format Photography Podcast ·

2020/01/10

After 20 very well received shows since we began this podcast last year, for some time we considered retiring from the fame, stardom and wealth that this has brought us. I convinced Simon that we should carry on at least through 2020 as there are many more brilliant guests we can have on the show. So we start 2020 with an industry big hitter Max Grew from Intrepid Camera. Since the successful Kickstarter in 2014 Max and his growing team have shipped over 5,000 brand new cameras – it’s a statistic we

#20 Kate Miller-Wilson No Words Allowed

The Large Format Photography Podcast ·

2019/12/13

We are beginning to run out of superlatives to describe the guests we have on this show, but Simon’s title for this week’s show pretty much sums it up …. No Words Allowed. Kate Miller-Wilson joins us for a thoughtful and insightful glimpse into her daily life at home with Eian who is on the autistic spectrum and her (currently) 5 years of photographing him mostly in recent times, with a 4x5 camera. Things we chatted about on the show Andrew was excited to receive some prints made from Polaroid

#19 An Odyssey with John Boyce (Mr De Vere) Just Simon and Andrew “live in the studio” this week with a recorded interview that Andrew did with John Boyce owner of Odyssey De Vere (Large format enlargers if you are unfamiliar). Despite the lack of “live” guest we still manage to ramble on for a fair while so hang in there till you get to the inaugural LFPP Outside Broadcast (OK it will get better). Thanks to Neil Piper for the loan of his digital recorder, it’s probably something we ought to get

#18 Brendan Barry & His Melon, Bread and Skyscraper...

The Large Format Photography Podcast ·

2019/11/15

What a wonderful selection of guests we have had since we started the show, all very inspirational loads of fun. Our guest on show 18 is no exception, so if you are unfamiliar with the work of Brendan Barry then head over to his website straight away – alternatively do that later, sit back, pour a glass of something and enjoy the conversation. Just a note of caution, we had a few audio issues for this episode, hopefully the gremlins will be gone for next time. Things we chatted about on the

#17 Jeff Perry, 20th Century Man

The Large Format Photography Podcast ·

2019/11/01

We have been admirers of Jeff’s Graflex SLR mods for a while now, and who could fail to miss his awesome sheet film inserts for pretty much any size sheet film you could want. Jeff is the driving force behind 20th Century Camera and we were pleased to spend time with him chatting about his business and loads more. We read out emails from Joachim Gross (Sinar and cutaways in glass) and Ben Farrar who puts us right over the origin of the term “Indian Summer” Monty Craig (the lens guy) gets a shout out

#14 Sandeha Lynch Puts Things Into Perspective

The Large Format Photography Podcast ·

2019/09/20

We have been trying to get Sandeha on the show for ages, it took a meal and a beer in a dodgy pub in Wales to finally convince him it was a good idea to come and chat with us. Andrew has known Sandeha since the days when they both hung out on the Fiim and Darkroom User (FADU) forum, this is still going strong and can be found in the link below. So sit back, close your eyes and listen to this erudite gentleman talk with us two numptys. Links and references arising from the

#12 ChromaGraphica With Steve Lloyd And Jason Lane

The Large Format Photography Podcast ·

2019/08/23

Another zone system free show as Simon and Andrew channel their inner talk show hosts as they quiz guests who, to be frank are only on the show to sell stuff. Mercenary guests Jason Lane and Steve Lloyd are on the verge of completing “ChromaGraphica” a Kickstarter campaign for brand new, injection moulded dry plate holders. We talk to Steve about his back story and the awesome Chroma Camera that will very shortly be on sale to all and sundry and then Jason tells us all about Pictoriographica, his

#11 Wet Plate With Joseph Brunjes

The Large Format Photography Podcast ·

2019/08/09

FPP archivist and occasional guest joins us this week to discuss his love affair with all things wet plate. We get to question him about the process, history, materials and a bit about gear though not too much (mmm another guest we need back on). We didn’t discuss the zone system on this show so apologies to anyone out there who needed a zone system fix, you may have to wait a few shows.
