#101 SOUP TO NUTS; THE BEST HOME STUDIO
Super inventive, super enthusiastic, super passionate New York City portrait photographer Bill Wadman is back for part two of his Monday three parter and it’s a cornucopia of photography nuggets today from a respected American photographer and artist who likes to know how everything ticks, both technically and creatively. Plus an A-Z of how he pieced together his 'Corners project' backdrop in his metro loft apartment, the soup to nuts advice on how to make your own.
Have you ever had one of those sharing platters where you don’t know if ALL the ingredients and creations belong on the same plate but it just seems to work – well, that’s kind of how I feel about today’s episode.
When I spoke to Bill a month back, the original reason had been to find out how one project, his 365, had, three years prior to Instagram’s invention and before this subject matter was practised by any great number of photographers, projected his career from zero, to very much wanted in under two hundred days. ‘Portraits that launched my career,’ episode 95 tells that story.
But we talked for a lot longer, enough to chew the fat when it came to the subject of what it means to be a photographer, and so this second visit to Bill’s pad in New York is very much that midway serving platter in a banquet where an amuse bouche just wouldn’t be enough.
