Jon Sugden - Building A Career One Gig At A Time
<p>This episode of Depth Of Focus we sit down with music photographer Jon Sugden. Jon is 35 year old photographer based in Reading. Jon was a very late bloomer as he puts it, not picking up a camera until 2020. We have an honest conversation about creativity, burnout, comparison, and building a career in live music photography. Jon shares how he unexpectedly found photography during the pandemic, developed a distinctive visual style through experimentation, and why embracing imperfection has become part of his creative process. We explore the realities behind touring, balancing photography alongside a full-time job, dealing with rejection, charging what you're worth, and navigating the pressures of social media. From stories of lost footage and cracked ribs to discussions about finding confidence and staying authentic.</p><p>I hope you enjoy the conversation..... </p><p>Jon's Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reprievevision" rel="external nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/reprievevision</a></p><p>Carl's Websites: (Live, Portrait) <a href="https://www.carlbattamsphoto.com" rel="external nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.carlbattamsphoto.com</a> (Wedding) <a href="https://www.carlbattamsphotographer.com" rel="external nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.carlbattamsphotographer.com</a></p><p>Carl's Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/carlbattamsphoto" rel="external nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/carlbattamsphoto</a></p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/10tUg638gBo2TAO4KYDZIG" rel="external nofollow" target="_blank">Music by Eyre Llew - Edca:</a></p>

Ethan Porter - Film Making & Creative Direction
<p>This episode of Depth Of Focus we sit down with DOP & filmmaker Ethan Porter. Ethan is a 28 year old filmmaker hailing from Bath. Originally born in the UK, then moved to Cape Town when he was 1. Ethan has spent a lot of his childhood traveling and living in different parts of the world. This sparked his intrigue into landscape photography, then progressing onto portraiture. He quickly turned to the music scene where he would shoot for his friends bands press campaigns. Noticing this wasn't making financial sense. Ethan started to take video work seriously when he bought a Blackmagic Pocket 4K. He quickly caught the filming bug. We chat about quality vs momentum. Creative ideas, and how having to many could have a negative impact. From the challenges Ethan faced at the start of his career, to the short film he created entitled "Asa Data Asa Fiu" </p><p>I hope you enjoy the conversation..... </p><p>Ethan's Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/_ethanporter_/" ipsnoembed="true" rel="external nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/_ethanporter_</a></p><p>Carl's Websites: (Live, Portrait) <a href="https://www.carlbattamsphoto.com/" rel="external nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.carlbattamsphoto.com/</a> (Wedding) <a href="https://www.carlbattamsphotographer.com/" rel="external nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.carlbattamsphotographer.com/</a></p><p>Carl's Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/carlbattamsphoto/" rel="external nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/carlbattamsphoto</a></p><p>Music by Eyre <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/10tUg638gBo2TAO4KYDZIG" rel="external nofollow" target="_blank">Llew - Edca:</a></p>

In our conversation we talk about his recent run with Acres and how at a young age, he feels so blessed to have had an amazing team around him. How social media is something so intrinsic for him. He knows it's bad his mental health. But, he has micro managed himself to turn it into a positive head space every time he looks. Explaining that for him it's a form of community and art. Impostor syndrome and how he feels he is on the right track for making this his full time job & career. </p><p>I hope you enjoy the conversation..... </p><p>Will's Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/willow.photo_/" rel="external nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/willow.photo_</a></p><p>Carl's Websites: (Live, Portrait) <a href="https://www.carlbattamsphoto.com/" rel="external nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.carlbattamsphoto.com/</a> (Wedding) <a href="https://www.carlbattamsphotographer.com/" rel="external nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.carlbattamsphotographer.com/</a></p><p>Carl's Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/carlbattamsphoto/" rel="external nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/carlbattamsphoto</a></p><p>Music by Eyre <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/10tUg638gBo2TAO4KYDZIG" rel="external nofollow" target="_blank">Llew - Edca:</a></p>
