Finding Focus is a series of informal conversations attempting to reveal the processes of contemporary photographers in Scotland today. The aim of these discussions is to go some way toward demystifying the creative industries, providing an exploration of the bits of photography that you don't often hear about in ticketed artist talks - how to talk about your work, stay motivated, meet other artists, look after yourself, build community and make money along the way. Plus plenty of tangents! Each photographer will also go into a bit of detail about a project that I ask them to introduce.

6 | Dave Ferrie on 'The River isn't Yellow in Winter'
<p>In this episode (recorded in January) I talk to Dave Ferrie ahead of completing his recently self-published book: The River isn't Yellow in Winter.

Hopefully for now it can be a nice bit of pub ASMR for everyone in lockdown! For those with hearing impairments, or for anyone who wants visuals to accompany this chat, this episode is available as a subtitled video on Youtube <a href="https://youtu.be/iubWj0e1wiU">here.</a></p> <p>A word of warning: all episodes will more than likely contain swearing, this is part of the informal nature of these dialogues. Please take this into account if explicit language is likely to offend.</p>
