For the last year, I have been mesmerized by the work of Michael Turek. His experiences in Siberia have opened my eyes to landscapes and people I never knew existed. It was an honor to speak with him about photography. Enjoy. 

Micah Green is a photojournalist working out of Sumter, South Carolina. I had the pleasure of speaking with him about his background, experiences, and why he loves what he does. We also discuss making the most of out of gear and creating with poor light. Thanks for listening. 

This week we talk with photographer Travis Hallmark. Travis' work features experiences of Texas culture that many of us don't get to see. Rodeos, ranchers, bbq... the list just goes on. Travis and I discuss freelance life, working with clients, gear workflow and so much more. Enjoy. 

Alex Ingram is a photographer based in London. In this episode we discuss his recent project, The Gatekeepers that was recently featured in the New York Times. Alex is an interesting guy and it was exciting to get to hear a bit of his story.

Welcome to the Local Analog Podcast. I’m your host, Andrew Welch, and today we’re speaking with Aline Smithson. She is a mother, photographer, educator, and she runs the Lens Scratch website. I’m not gonna lie, this interview was therapeutic on many levels for me.  Aline is a deep well of knowledge and wisdom and has been speaking with young photographers for decades, as a juror surveying bodies of work, galleries, and even creating her own amazing work. I am lucky to have gotten an audience with her for a little while. Thanks for tuning in.

Welcome to the Local Analog Podcast. I’m your host, Andrew Welch, and today we’re speaking Zach Parks. Zach is based in the American South in South Carolina where he makes his hometown his subject. Zach co-runs the instagram account @restorefrombackup with two other great photographers where they highlight other photographers and foster a community to help make film photography approachable.

Welcome to the Local Analog Podcast. I’m your host, Andrew Welch, and today we’re speaking with Ian Wong. Ian is based in Hong Kong where he owns his own video and photo production studio. You may remember Ian from Digital Rev’s film based episodes, Analog Rev. I’ve enjoyed Ian’s content for a long time now and I think he may have one of the best YouTube channels out there with his partner Anne Berry. It was cool to talk with him about being a responsible consumer especially with photography gear in our day of so-called gear acquisition syndrome. So, thanks for tuning in, enjoy the talk.

Welcome to the Local Analog Podcast. I’m your host, Andrew Welch, and today we’re talking to Ashleigh Coleman. Ashleigh is a brilliant artist and photographer based in the American South. This conversation is different than many others in that most of the time, I talk with people who are either in the commercial photography boat, or the YouTube boat. Ashleigh is in neither. I’ve always considered her work to be true to story-telling,  and genuine moments that will be remembered for a long time.  It was a refreshing conversation about motherhood, showing work, and the fine art photography industry. So, thanks for tuning in, and enjoy this conversation with my friend Ashleigh Coleman.
