FEATURING MALI DAVIES, WOLFGANG STRASSL AND VALÉRIE JARDIN

Today’s guests and friends, Mali Davies, Wolfgang Strassl and Valérie Jardin each have stories about shooting on the street. Mali talks of embracing your neighbourhood in the dark for a forthcoming project called HOME, Wolfgang Strassl finds that there’s more to a portrait than simply a picture of a face, and Valérie Jardin shares her thoughts about photographing people in a candid fashion.

Also, today from the mailbag, Myles Barfield has a story about legacy and how the simplest of pictures can be so effective plus I read from his book project that has become, I think, an autobiography accompanied by the most stunning photographs. Complaints corner is open for business, Chris Articulate is looking ahead to a more analogue way of sharing, Bill Marriott is going to help you feel and think VERY differently about what makes a truly expressive and emotive still picture, Harald Kahles has some ideas for specials and Maureen Bond is thinking about her why of creativity.
