How does music shape the way we see and photograph people? And what makes a good portrait?In the first part of our conversation with Joe Dilworth, we trace his photographic journey back to his early days as a drummer in the band Th’ Faith Healers. We discuss the challenges of portraiture, how paying attention to the smallest details can make all the difference, and Joe’s own approach to being photographed.Listen to the first episode of our conversation and join the discussion.

Can photography really be taught, or is it something you have to discover for yourself? And what does it mean to take responsibility as a photographer?In the second part of our conversation with Michael Grieve, we explore these questions and discuss what it takes to develop not just your photographic skills, but also your way of seeing and thinking about the world.Listen to the second episode of our podcast and join the conversation.
