#138 MENTAL HEALTH & PHOTOGRAPHY

Portrait photographer Alex Benyon talks about how photography, in particular street photography, has been a positive life influence and healer during times of clinical depression and anxiety. He's been 'giving back' to those who suffer their own mental health problems with the 'Portraits of Mental Health project.' The aim of this ongoing project is to raise awareness for the different types of mental health issues, the variety of individuals affected by them and to present a positive message of hope and support.

Today's show is kindly supported by MPB who are the number one platform for buying, selling and trading used gear. Right now if you have kit that is collecting dust somewhere, it's time to think about putting it to good use by receiving money for it and putting that camera or lens in to the hands of someone who will use it and every time you sell, or buy or trade kit, MPB will plant a tree, it's all part of driving the circular economy. Go to mpb.com... what is lingering in your closet you no longer need?

Also, today’s edition is brought to you by Sprout Studio, a studio management suite that gives you everything you need to run your photography business in one place; galleries, CRM, email marketing, scheduling, book keeping and so much more.
