#352 PHOTOWALK SPECIAL: ‘MISCHIEF’ MAKER TO PICTURE MAKER
The voyage to an unknown destination. That was the alternative title for today’s show, a wonderful quote from my walking guest. Today, you and I walk with TV, film and stage actor Bill Ward. A multi-award winner for his challenging role as ‘mischief’ maker Charlie Stubbs in Coronation Street, one of the globe's biggest soaps, playing Britain's 'vilest villain,' he is also a highly regarded decorated photographer who savours time making pictures in nature, in particular adopting ICM (Intentional Camera Movement) as his channel to mindful connection with Mother Earth. Bill shares advice on how to shoot ICM and revisits his time on set playing Charlie. Visit Bill Ward’s workshop page.
