This week’s episode was sparked by a chat we had whilst on a shoot last week where we discussed the topic of Creativity Vs Saleability and how closely you listen to a client and their vision.
Ukraine is sadly very much on our minds, and we chat about the power, emotion and messages being conveyed by the images we are all seeing.
Inspiration…we all need it from time to time and Kam discusses how inspired he recently felt after working with Mark, so much so that he is now seriously considering jumping ship to Canon! Yes….it’s true….it could happen! On a more serious note Kam has always believed in moving with the times and his business has survived for many years as he’s continued to invest in new techniques and ideas, but working with Mark recently was the most inspired he’s felt by someone for over 10 years.
