Mark and Kam open the doors to the bar again and are in full flow starting off with an interesting story of a photographer who refuses to an accept an award by being open and honest...but would you do the same?
As photographers we are always trying to improve on what we do, we experiment with different ideas, we use others for inspiration and discover new techniques so learning is never ending no matter how experienced we are.
Negative Space is often an overlooked form of composition so we look at this technique.
Do you know what the UK speed camera sign looks like and can you accurately explain it's design?

Sarah and Kam talk about one of the things freelance photograhers struggle to cope with and that's having a regular income with regular work.
It was mentioned a few episodes ago that 80% of photography start-ups failed in the first year and the main reason for that is most likely photographers were not getting enough work. BUT we tell you how you CAN get regular work and be sure of a regular annual income!
To help us do this we are joined for this episode by Ian Hatch who is a Coach & Mentor supporting & advising the Photography Industry. He also runs MOFOTO a school/nursery photo social media group.
So if you're a photographer looking for regular work you don't want to miss this show!

So can you guess the list of top 16 photography companies in the world? Well probably not 16 but we’re sure you could make a pretty good guess as to maybe 5 of them, but how right would you be?
The newest member of our team has a huge career decision to make, what do you think she should do?
The horrifying cost of sending digital files!
…and a whole lot more!

It’s competition time and Canon product review!
We have 10 prizes of £100.00 worth of any products of your choice from thegadgetbag.co.uk These guys stock batteries, camera grips, bags, lighting and a whole lot more and all you have to do is listen and then enter.
BONUS! If you enter you’ll also receive a discount code so it’s WIN WIN!
We love the guys at Canon and they’ve sent us the R7 & R10 kits to test, these could either be ideal back up cameras for pro’s or the ideal choice for those that don’t want to or need to spend the money on full frame.
Our reviews are real, if you want in depth technical details then Amateur Photographer does terrific reviews (and others), but we test them as photographers would use them on a daily basis. Could these cameras be for you? Have a listen and find out.
Mark tests positive and in a matter of days loses £2k worth of income when he can’t shoot….but could he have done? He decided to stay at home but he didn’t need to by law, so did he do the right thing?
If you’re a working photographer or videographer what would you do and what back up plans have you got in place to cover shoots for your clients with the risk that they will go elsewhere?

Ok so Mark bailed at the last minute after testing positive for Covid but it didn’t stop Sarah and Kam being at The Societies Convention in Hammersmith, London UK for their annual Convention.
We speak to exhibitors, visitors and masterclass hosts as well as visiting the huge competition gallery to give you a feel of the buzz of the show.
We chat to Canon and Sony, find out ‘what’s hot’ at Fuji and a whole lot more.
So grab a drink, sit back and hopefully you’ll get a feel of what it was like surrounded by a huge attendance of photographers and videographers.
