Earlier in the year, I was given the opportunity to be a guest on the Leica Street Photography Collective podcast, the world’s premiere street photography podcast for Leica Users.
I spoke with Ricky - calling in from his home in Okinawa, Japan - about the history of street photography with Leica cameras, where to find inspiration, blending different photography genres together and the importance of personal projects.
It was a great experience, all thanks to Ricky for inviting me on.

My First Exhibition
My very first solo photography exhibition is just days away.
Over the last couple of months I have learnt a lot about printing, marketing and what it takes to make an event like this come together.
My very first solo photography exhibition is just days away.
I remember back in early 2016 when I first exhibited a few of my photographs in a local gallery, thinking “I could fill this whole place up with my own work”. Looking back now, I was 100% wrong as I now wouldn’t want to exhibit a single one of my best photos from back then and I had no idea the work that would go into such an undertaking.
From initially choosing the photographs to exhibit, to editing final versions of them, trialing a few different print-houses and eventually finding one I am happy with, having a LOT of bother with searching for the right frames before deciding to have them hand-make by a recommended frame maker.
I then decided to create a book and a website for the project also so spent the necessary time making these right.
After all that I had to then advertise the exhibition, putting up flyers and posting in as many local social media groups as possible.
Over the last couple of months I have learnt a lot about printing, marketing and what it takes to make an event like this come together.
I have almost everything ready now. I’m sure on the day it will look like just a few photo prints in frames being displayed but a lot of work has gone into it behind the scenes, thankfully assisted by my friends, family and wonderful girlfriend.
I do hope it all comes together on the day and I can stand proudly next to my art.
I am equally excited and nervous about Sunday.
