Prime Lenses

Cliff Mautner joins me to talk about his 43-year career as a Nikon photographer shooting everything from weddings to the stuff that was in front of him during COVID. I learned about his work via an open letter he wrote earlier this year that I felt contained interesting conversational fodder and invited him to take part in the show. I was delighted when he said yes.More about this show:A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you’ll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth. Prime Lenses is a series of interviews with photographers talking about their photography by way of three lenses that mean a lot to them. These can be interchangeable, attached to a camera, integrated into a gadget, I’m interested in the sometimes complex relationship we have with the tools we choose, why they can mean so much and how they make us feel.
