#106 - Chicken Farmer, Butler to a Viscount & Rock Photographer w/ Perou

Portrait photographer and director Perou joins Tom and Greg to talk about how big-budget music photography gave way to disposable content, why he believes photography is a language, and why he argues AI is the opposite of everything photography means to him. Plus Jürgen Teller's one-frame Björk shoot, a book of 200 empty English underpasses printed two stops too dark, and the tell-all book of misadventures he probably shouldn't publish.Thank you for listening to The Exposed Negative Podcast.

On this week’s show Tom and Greg react to Samsung's launch film for its P9 SSD, which Tom describes as fully AI generated, and argue that brands selling to photographers should show real people using real kit. They also share street photography inspiration from a Walkie Talkie interview with Jason Eskenazi, compare DJI Osmo cameras for behind the scenes footage, and go through Tom's wireless tethering tests for Capture One.Thank you for listening to The Exposed Negative Podcast.

Tom and Greg record a lo-fi summer episode covering back-to-back heatwave shoots, cameras overheating in the field (a Canon R5 Mark II in 44 degree Texas heat and a Fujifilm X-H2 in an Italian marble quarry), Tom's case for retiring his battered Canon R6 in favour of a Fujifilm X100VI, and a wider argument about why ergonomics and how a camera feels in the hand matter more than chasing specs.Thank you for listening to The Exposed Negative Podcast.

Alan Schaller, black and white street photographer, co-founder of Street Photography International and founder of the Irys app, joins Tom and Greg to talk about building a photography-only platform, why he shoots exclusively in monochrome, a frightening encounter with a stranger on the street, and why he thinks AI generated imagery should never be called photography.Thank you for listening to The Exposed Negative Podcast.

London-based cinematographer Elliot Holbrow joins Tom and Greg to talk about building a career through curiosity rather than formal training, the craft of collaborating with directors, and why shooting on film, whether a Canon Scoopic or 35mm Vision 3, continues to shape how he thinks about images. From decoding the DP's role on a commercial set to the politics of the colour grade, this is a rich conversation about what it actually takes to develop a visual sensibility in the moving image world.Thank you for listening to The Exposed Negative Podcast.
