FEATURING PHOTOGRAPHER AND PODCASTER IBARIONEX PERELLO

Today’s Photowalk show guest is Ibarionex Perello, a photographer, writer, educator, and the long-standing host of The Candid Frame podcast, one of the most respected and enduring shows in photography. With over 25 years in the photographic industry and more than 600 episodes under his belt, he’s interviewed legends like Jay Maisel, Mary Ellen Mark, and Joel Meyerowitz. In this conversation, we talk about his thoughtful approach to podcasting, what he listens for in a guest, and why the best conversations don’t follow scripts. We also discuss life after loss, as he reflects on the devastating LA fires that destroyed his family's home and studio. And, of course, we talk photography, the way he sees, the way he teaches, and the very personal reasons he still makes pictures.

Also on the show and from the mailbag, Matthies Wesche is about to dangle precariously from his seat, photographing people who believe it’s more fun to jump out of aeroplanes than sit back and enjoy the complimentary wine and molten-hot Thermo Lasagne Surprise, and Chris Articulate returns with thoughts on one YouTube channel, Sony cameras, and this podcast! We’ve got news about a rustic workshop, so brush off your tents, shake out the spiders, and mark some dates in your diary, plus Gary Ramage invites you to take part in the One Word Assignment.
