An assignment today that will have you thinking on two creative levels; photographing and writing. Plus, this forms part of an announcement with regard to a new feature coming to the photowalk edition of a Friday. It's a challenge set for the next seven days; a way to think differently about how you approach making your pictures. I'll be fascinated to see what you come up with, so email what you make to the show via the contact page. Supported by our Patron Extra Milers and MPB.com

We're in Scotland for the Photowalk retreat; seven photographers on the road, immersed in the most beautiful landscapes, walking by familiar and famous lochs, enjoying some photographic challenges - and you, have an open invitation to come along with us. Grab your walking boots and come for a 'wee amble' in the Highlands. See the SHOW PAGE and our thanks to the Extra Milers and mpb.com.

If ever you have thought; "How can I make a real difference to people with my photography," I think this episode is for you and I sense you’ll be moved by this special midweek edition. It’s a very personal story at times, yet equally an appeal by one of the original co-founders of Remember My Baby, a registered charity which offers a free gift of baby remembrance photography to parents experiencing the loss of their baby before, during or shortly after birth. The show is supported by our patrons, MPB.com and usbmemorydirect.com. See the SHOW NOTES for all links today.

Kev’s overheating and he’s had just four hours sleep in as many days! Neale is pining for Africa again as the boys talk about where they’d like to make photo stories when the world opens up. Tamron has a new lens for us to look forward to, packing a bag for 24 hours in New York City, The Great British Photography Challenge, watermarking, a tool that can select our best pictures by ai, self publishing, why Kev has fallen out of love with Wordpress and street shooting legally; good news! The book of the week is Do Photo by Andrew Paynter and our guest is Northern Ireland’s only independent camera store owner, photographer Pascal Diamond.

Jason P. Howe returns for the second part of his two parter as we follow him from Colombia to the Middle East. He talks of a brutal step change and how he made photographs of conflicts across the region, from surviving a suicide bomb attack, an IED on patrol with the British Army to a film made about his life. We talk about the mental toll of being a witness to war and conflict, those who choose to do it now, and how the next part of his life behind a camera is changing with a move to Andalusia. Photographs from this edition can be viewed on the SHOW PAGE.

Each Friday we take a walk with our cameras, a microphone and a mailbag with your thoughts and ideas about photography and what making pictures means to you. It's the only location show of its kind and today we talk about our addiction to camera bags, how our lockdowns have inspired photo projects and skills, more van life, being a radio DJ, making random portraits, putting on a solo exhibition, nerves, honesty and making photo stories about the strangers we meet. The show is supported by MPB.com and our patrons. See today's SHOW NOTES.

It’s the photography podcast edition where we escape together like the end scene from The graduate. Just us, our cameras, earbuds and the mailbag; walking and sharing inspirational stories from photographers around the world. This week we hear from a photographer who chooses to photowalk around Chernobyl, we talk reunions, hear about photographic life in Indonesia right now, think about legacy, emails from the front line and discover a place fit for our first post lockdown meet up, plus more.

Kev is luxuriating in Bunker Malmesbury, Neale is in the studio, though it’s business as usual with your questions. This week, is there any point to IBIS when films today are as ‘Shaky' as an 80s pop star singing Green Door? We talk about taking on a part time job if wedding work gets shifted again, whether we could return to a time which necessitates shooting with film cameras only, Clubhouse, the banning of street shooting and we debate fine art photography; what is it? The boys tempt a lifelong Nikon shooter with a shopping list, we sort out the black and white simulation options in camera, and discuss perfect pancakes of the lens variety. The book of the week is Todd Hido’s 'On Landscapes, Interiors and The Nude' and our Friend of the Show interview is with Steve Vaughan.

Gulnara Samoilova, a photojournalist, a documentarian, a curator, a street photographer and now an editor with a Wednesday Photostory edition about a new book featuring 100 international Women Street Photographers. We talk about what the street genre means to her, how she curated this collection and the runaway success of the organisation created to promote the work of women street photographers worldwide. We also talk about Gulnara's own incredibly powerful work that won a coveted World Press Photo award for coverage of 9/11. The SHOW NOTES have all links to that discussed today.

The Photowalk edition is the show where I take your emails and DMs on a photowalk to end the week. We make some pictures and have a chat. Your thoughts about photography, what you've heard on the weekday shows, what you're working on and what it means to be a photographer. This week, the healing effect of photography, using film, walks in Rome and Norway, imposter syndrome and going pro. Inspirational thoughts too from guests including forthcoming legend of photography Albert Watson. See today's SHOW NOTES for links to all discussed.

This is the Daily FRO for March 26th 2021.

An agency that has been providing news content for 40 years, I think Paul Walters, former news photographer, now leading the line at SWNS today, returns for his second instalment and is a strong candidate for helping us understand the place of a photographer in news today. What is the role of a news agency, what qualities do you need to be a contributing professional photographer and is citizen photojournalism changing the shape of how the industry works?
