The masters of photography and cinematography, in conversation with Alan Schaller and Christopher Hooton.

    Art after pandemic

    Art after pandemic

    With some areas of the world appearing to be turning the corner on Covid-19, we explore whether the pandemic has fundamentally changed art, the new creative impulses and business incentives it may have precipitated, and what kind of films and photographs we expect to see coming out of this bizarre period in human history.

    Paola M. Franqui

    Paola M. Franqui

    A Puerto Rican-born photographer now living in New Jersey, Paola Franqui has, under her handle @monaris_, become known for her cinematic street photography, often shot in New York City and evoking the feeling of a bygone era. We talk to her about finding movie moments among the everyday, how she was influenced by photography greats Vivian Maier and Saul Leiter, and doing client work on something as simple as an iPhone.

    Staying focused in a mad world

    Staying focused in a mad world

    Not focus the lens kind but focus the human kind: being able to concentrate and stay determined is crucial to success in pretty much anything, so how can you foster it? We are certainly not experts *checks phone notifications*, but here we discuss attempts at focus in a world of distractions and health/political crises.

Perfect podcast

Fantastic guests and hosted by knowledgeable people. Interesting questions with engaging answers. Perfect to listen to while we get one hour to be outside, these days. Thanks.

They’ve done their homework...

I’ve never felt compelled to leave a review for a podcast, until now.

There are so many outlets for filmmaking and photography insights, many of them are trying to decode the technical approach as if there is some golden formula that we can all tap into and steal so that we can all go have these successful and artistic careers. Where this podcast stands out, is the focus on what actually makes a difference - the human element and the exploration and acceptance of how you approach your work in your own way. You can tell from the responses they get from their guests that they are asking the right questions.

So for me this is a real resource, pouring over the constantly open and blank canvas of human expression and the ways you can approach it. They have also done their homework, know their craft, and you’ll take away meaningful nuggets from every episode.

Kudos guys, keep doing what you’re doing!
