DUBLIN SPECIAL! The inside story of the Street Photography Festival, interview with the co-founder and a quick guide to shooting in Dublin
Click here to EMAIL BRIAN with your questions, comments and suggestions for the show! Click here to EMAIL BRIAN with your questions, comments and suggestions for the show! Dublin is one of the few cities where you can walk into the centre with a camera and feel like you belong, and that’s exactly why I recorded this Dublin special. I’m joined by Paul Murray, street photographer and co-founder of the Dublin Street Photography Festival, to unpack how a brand-new festival “exploded onto the scen...

Poetic street photography, travelling light, gear rumours and what value camera clubs?
Click here to EMAIL BRIAN with your questions, comments and suggestions for the show! Street photography can be loud, fast and confrontational, but what happens when you deliberately turn the volume down? We explore poetic street photography as a way of making images that suggest rather than explain: pictures built from fragments, reflections, shadows, rain, absence and small everyday details that leave space for the viewer to feel something. We pull apart what makes an image “poetic” withou...

Getting out of a rut, how to choose a workshop, my favourite YouTube channels - and a shock announcement!
Click here to EMAIL BRIAN with your questions, comments and suggestions for the show! Well, I managed to skip an episode but I'm now back with my fortnightly cycle of episodes of the Street Photography Podcast! I come back from a run of trips feeling oddly refreshed and it is not because I bought new camera gear. It is because I did the opposite. I take only my iPhone to northern Italy and find it genuinely liberating to walk without a bag, without the weight of expectations and without the c...

Flash for street photography, Fujifilm vs Leica, Letizia Battaglia's book and the Olympus OM1
Click here to EMAIL BRIAN with your questions, comments and suggestions for the show! We start with a relatable photographer’s dilemma: packing for a proper holiday in Italy and choosing between cameras when street photography is not meant to be the main agenda. That leads into the bigger question underneath it all: how do we shoot with less pressure, especially when we feel anxious about direction, creativity, or what our YouTube channel is meant to become? We introduce a new listener slot,...

Making money from street photography, shooting in Shoreditch, Meta specs and Part 2 of the Comfort-Stretch-Panic approach
Click here to EMAIL BRIAN with your questions, comments and suggestions for the show! Most street photographers don’t need more courage, more kit, or a more exotic destination. We need a smarter way to grow on purpose. I take the comfort stretch panic model (a simple framework used in training environments) and translate it into street photography you can actually do next time you head out. The goal is not to feel fearless. It’s to aim for mild discomfort, stay functional, and let that stretc...

Street portraits, the best lens for street, using a Rolleiflex and YouTube again
Click here to EMAIL BRIAN with your questions, comments and suggestions for the show! One tiny choice can change your entire street photography: which focal length you commit to when you walk out the door. I tackle a listener’s question about 35mm, 50mm and 85mm (plus where 28mm and 90mm fit in), and I explain why I usually reach for wider lenses. We talk about getting close enough for real emotion, using zone focusing to react quickly, and the discipline of picking one lens and sticking with...

Street photography zines, buying used gear from Japan, YouTube channels for street and the Nikon F2
Click here to EMAIL BRIAN with your questions, comments and suggestions for the show! Street photography can feel like a never-ending hunt for isolated 'keepers' until you put your images next to each other and realise what they are actually saying. That’s where zines come in, and we make a direct, practical case for why every street photographer should be creating them. We break down what a street photography zine is (from a folded sheet to a beautifully printed booklet) and why it matters ...

Growth Happens In The Stretch Zone!
Send us Fan Mail Street photography is meant to feel alive, but online it can turn into constant arguments about who’s doing it “properly”. We run Street Snappers like a virtual pub instead: honest chat, no sniping, and enough practical detail that you can actually improve your work. That starts with a listener question that every zine-maker has faced sooner or later: why do my black and white images lose their punch in CMYK printing? We dig into rich black on uncoated paper, why screens lie,...

From North Wales to Noir: Street photography with Neil Johansson
Send us Fan Mail Prague is calling, my bag is getting packed, and I’m thinking about the kind of street photography that actually says something about modern cities. Over-tourism is one of those subjects that’s both visually rich and slightly grim: tacky souvenir shops, tourist menus, crowded streets, and a place that starts to feel like a theme park for weekenders. It’s great for photographs, but it raises bigger questions about what gets lost when a city becomes a product. Before I h...

Creative shock therapy, aspect ratios, my workflow, street portraits - and why Lisbon?
Send us Fan Mail London can make you feel like you have lost your eye. You walk for days, you chase the same old 'street moments', and somehow the city gives you nothing back. We talk candidly about that exact feeling and why it is not just a bad patch, it can be a sign that your work needs a real change. The big question I keep returning to is simple: if you do what you have always done, will you get what you've always got? To jolt the creativity back into motion, Imake a serious commitment...

Why shoot square? Should you join the RPS? Why does the right camera make you shoot more?
Send us Fan Mail The camera that improves your street photography might not be the newest, fastest, or most expensive, it is the one you cannot stop picking up. We dig into what makes certain cameras feel 'alive' in the hand, why that emotional pull leads to more shooting, and how early experiences with classics like the Zorki 4, Rolleiflex, and old-school rangefinders can shape the way we see. If you have ever wondered why a Leica or a Fujifilm X100 feels different, we get into the real reas...

Street Photography Ethics - a Commonsense Guide
Send us Fan Mail Street photography ethics Street photography is supposed to be about real life, but the moment you point a camera at a stranger, you step onto an ethical fault line. We wanted to tackle the questions that make people defensive, angry, or quietly unsure: when is candid photography fair, when is it intrusive, and when does a “great shot” come at someone else’s expense? We dig into consent as the core dilemma and break it into something more usable: implicit consent in public s...

Street photography at the races, getting published in a magazine, Ricoh GR3 problems - and more!
Send us Fan Mail Big events can make street photography easier, but only if you stop aiming at the obvious target. I’m heading to Liverpool for Grand National weekend, not to photograph the racing, but to work the city centre where the real street stories unfold: early-morning pubs, people in finery, high spirits, bad decisions, and that brilliant collision between everyday streets and “special occasion” behaviour. If you want more keepers, the margins are often where the emotion and characte...

Episode #6 - Where's your comfort zone? Also - monochrome cameras, street competitions, a hot book recommendation, street photography definitions - and a recipe!
Send us Fan Mail Monochrome-only cameras, contest culture, comfort zones and the eternal “does expensive gear matter?” debate all collide in a spring-bright Street Photography Podcast that starts with Venice energy and ends with a Negroni done properly. I dig into the most repeated bit of street photography advice and push back on the macho idea that stress equals better work. For some photographers, staying within your limits is not laziness, it is the route to consistency, focus - and photo...

Being comfortable on the street, zooms vs primes, Fujifilm medium format - and a William Eggleston book
Send us Fan Mail Street photography doesn’t start with bravery, it starts with belonging. While juggling another Venice run, we get personal about how childhood habits, walking alone, watching people and loving the town centre can quietly build the foundations of a strong street photographer. If you’ve ever wondered why you feel relaxed on the street or why you feel like an outsider, this one gets to the human side of the craft. From there I tackle a few of your questions: who might become t...

How I turned a grey day into a project, photography degrees and why Venice keeps pulling me back
Send us Fan Mail A grey, damp morning in Liverpool turned into a turning point. Over a coffee, we opened an old Lightroom archive and spotted a pattern hiding in plain sight—enough images from Ropewalks to seed a real project. That small reframing changed the day, the week, and the way we hunt for ideas. Instead of waiting for inspiration, we named what we already had and set a plan to grow it. If you’ve ever felt stuck, this is your blueprint for moving again. From there we get practical....

Street photography bags, sharpness, projects and motivation!
Send us Fan Mail Grey skies, empty streets, and flat light can wreck a shooting day—unless you change the rules. I open with a simple pivot for winter: treat colour as a subject, lean into graphic shapes, and shift from pure observation to small documentary stories that ignore the weather. From there we get practical about the tool that shapes every outing: the camera bag. I weigh the charm and risks of a Billingham, the low‑key utility of Domke and Lowepro, and why the Wotancraft Pilot has q...

StreetSnappers - The Street Photography Podcast S1 E2
Send us Fan Mail Street photography doesn’t get better by accident; it gets better by intention. I kick off the Street Photography Podcast with a few ideas for a stronger creative year: study one great photo book each week, finish the projects that keep drifting, and lock down an archive strategy that actually protects your work. From a decade-long black-and-white Venice project to a living zine series on London streets, I share the real timelines and choices behind sustaining momentum withou...
