Click Click Bang Bang - A Photography Podcast

Chemistry teacher by day, epic street photographer by night, Knox Bertie has been obsessed with capturing the rarest moments in Sydney since he arrived from Canada more than a decade ago. His dark and sometimes dystopian images hint at his love for George Orwell and also show a side of the city that nobody expects, far from the blue skies and sandy beaches its the eastern suburbs. Such is the high calibre of Knox's work, it prompted legendary camera manufacturer Leica to make him its ambassador, an honour bestowed upon only the finest exponents of photography. Mez and Toby caught up with Knox to talk about his work, his progression, and of course his thoughts on Breaking Bad.

Mez and Toby sit down to talk with their first guest on CCBB – renowned Australian wedding photographer, James Day. Wedding photographers are the hardest working people in the business, so getting some time to chat to James was a real treat. He dives deep into his craft and discusses some of his most emotional shoots, as well as regaling a coupe of funny tales, too. Thanks James, you're a true legend. Don't forget to visit the website to read all the show notes and to check out some of James's amazing work.

It's time to put on your best threads because Mez and Toby are going to take you for a walk down the red carpet. Yep, that's right, we're going to the movies!! There have been many photography-related flicks released over the years, and the coronavirus shutdown has given us all time to watch a few of them. So sit back and relax as we take you through some of our favourites. CREDITS Click Click Bang Bang: A Photography Podcast is written and produced by Meredith Schofield and Toby Forage.

PANDEMIC!!!!! Yep, we're living it, but while the coronavirus crisis has brought down the world's economy, it hasn't stop Mez and Tobes putting together a podcast without breaking any distancing laws!! (Sorry about the temporarily iffy production values as a result.) But that economy could be crucial for a lot of photographers and other visual media creatives, so we've put together a little advice for Aussies to help them get through this freak chapter in our lives.

Let's talk about sex, baby .... Mez and Toby deep dive into a discussion about gender in photography that takes more twists and turns than an Agatha Christie novel. Speaking of novel, even coronavirus gets a mention as photojournalism, fashion, wedding and all other manner of photographic genres go under the biggest gender-bias microscope in the southern hemisphere.

Still on the topic of photography competitions, Mez and Toby zero in on the entrants, and boy oh boy, are there some stories to be told here. It seems there are no limits to the lengths some people will go to in order to get ahead in the game, from the smallest comps to the most prestigious in the photography world. When money and prestige is the reward, play gets dirty very quickly, and even anteaters aren't safe!! What? Trust us ... just listen.

Toby and Mez are back from the festive break, but it’s been a bitter sweet holiday thanks to the Australian bushfire crisis. Some of the photography from the fire zones has been nothing short of phenomenal, and in this episode, we pay tribute to all the photographers working in some of the most dangerous conditions imaginable, and we also give you some options on where to donate if you want to help the relief effort. We are taking a moment with a special episode to send a shout out to the photographers who have really put their lives on the line to bring us and the world these stories.

What do Beyonce and Donald Trump's impeachment hearings have in common? Well, both are watched by millions and both have been shot by photographers using film cameras. But why would anyone use a film camera in those situations? Mez and Toby discuss why certain photographers choose to go "old-school", and how the decision on what kit you use and when can greatly affect your creative thinking and the results you get.

It sounds like the next big hipster band name, but The Comparison Complex is something that actually lasts, and it can also make or break your creativity. That's why it's complex!! Mez and Toby discuss not only the dangers of comparing your work and yourself to others, but also the positive explosions that can go off when you nail this whole comparison thing. Do you panic about low like-counts, falling followers, not having cool ideas like the people you follow? Well, this one's for you!! Listen in, and listen good. Our dynamic duo has got your back.

One of the questions we get asked most frequently by emerging photographers is: "What the hell do I charge?" It's a tricky one, especially with questionable companies out there offering you work for all the wrong prices!!! Mez and Toby dive deep into this one, give you some examples of their own rates, and a few warning about the hidden pitfalls of valuing your work.
