The Togcast Photography Podcast

We welcome US based large format film photographer Ben Horne to the show this week. Ben is well known for his wilderness/landscape images featuring some of the US's best known areas. However, he is far from a honeypot location hunter, he's much happier trekking deep into the parks with his 8x10 camera and searching out beautiful inner vistas as well as large scenes. Ben is also well known for his YouTube channel where he documents his trips and discusses the art of photography and of course using a large format film set-up. We chat about all of this, plus his use of colour, the importance of connecting with a landscape, printing and much more. Many thanks to WEX Photo Video and Fotospeed for supporting the show. We'll be back in two weeks with extreme/action landscape photographer Nadir Khan. The Togcast is hosted by Sam Gregory & Paul Sanders.

We've got a bit of everything in this episode, from Photography to Royal Marine Commando's and more! Our guest this week is Pro Photographer Alex Hare. Having spent the last decade building up his business with all manner of genres we spend some time chatting to Alex about his love of capturing landscapes in beautiful Kent. We discuss the importance of finding new locations, creating original imagery and how his earlier military career affects his outlook and photographic pursuits. We'll be back in 2 weeks time with the US large format film photographer Ben Horne. In the meantime please check out TheTogcast.com to learn more about the show.

We catch up with top documentary photographer Nick Danziger (www.nickdanziger.com) to take a look into his world of visual storytelling. Nick is a previous ‘World Press Photo’ 1st prize winner for his image of Tony Blair and George Bush just as the second Iraq war began. His travel books sold around the world in the 1980’s and 90’s and his subsequent photography has featured in major global publications. He has travelled extensively in war-zones and covered harrowing and touching personal stories of those affected by fighting, hunger, repression and much more. Although our primary focus is normally on landscape and travel photography, there are plenty of crossover points that are relevant. The ability to use images to tell compelling stories is something that any genre of photography must strive for. We talk with Nick about what drives his passion for storytelling and some of the situations he’s been privileged to witness and document, and what challenges lie ahead for us all globally. Many thanks to Nick f
