#312 PHOTOWALK: FINDING THE BOOK YOU WILL PUBLISH!
The only photowalk podcast of its kind, led by your letters from a weekly mailbag, and the pictures you make as we walk together. This week Austrian photographer Alex Frederickson shares her personal story about finding the photo project that eventually became her first book. We also talk about lowering your heart rate taking pictures, pictures in the mist, sound recording your street portrait subjects and ask what do you hear, smell and feel when you make a picture?

PUBLISHER DETAILS FOR FEET UNDER THE SEAT from ALEX FREDERICKSON
“I’m so delighted that readers and photographers from 19 different countries are loving my quirky book about feet on a train and the real-life stories they told at the height of the pandemic. It really does underline that whether we live in Manchester, Minnesota or Monaco, we are, at our core, very much alike. The pandemic proved that to us and so does each one of these 53 stories. A demand-driven second print run is planned upon demand and order.
