#418 PHOTOWALK: LEAPS OF FAITH AND FINDING BALANCE
FEATURING SOCIAL DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHER KEVIN MULLINS
Retreating home to the shires from another day working in the city of London seventeen years ago, Kevin Mullins announced to his wife, "I'm becoming a wedding photographer." What followed is quite the adventure, including almost quitting on day one of his new life! In the third of three specials interviewing friends in the photographic and creative industries, I talk to Kevin about his leap of faith, his relationship with Fujifilm, social media, staying grounded, slowing down, country music and cupboards of doom - it's an eclectic conversation!
