“None. They should just go out and photograph and stop talking about it. That’s the only way they are going to find themselves. They can’t do it in their heads – they have to go out and do it in the camera and get it on film” - Berenice Abbott - when asked is she had any gems of wisdom for the photographer today, Professional Photographer's Survival Guide by Charles E. RotkinOur guest this week is London-based photographer, Matt Stuart. Best known as a “street photographer,” (or “photographer” which is the preferred term), Matt told us how his former life as a skater and working in a call centre prepared him for a career in photography. We didn’t spend much time discussing Berenice Abbott, - or Walker Evans, or Helen Levitt or Robert Frank - but take a look at her work which spanned portraiture of avant-garde artists, the modernising spaces of New York City, to representations of scientific concepts.

Do you ever find yourself struggling to find stories worth documenting and sharing through your photography? It can often feel like we need to travel to exotic places at the far reaches of the Earth to find captivating stories to tell. As Niki Boon shows us today, however, often the greatest, most intimate and heartfelt stories are right in front of our eyes. A documentary family photographer, Niki uses the medium of black and white photography as a way to document the journey of her four children growing up in Marlborough, New Zealand. With her camera acting as a visual diary, she strives to tell a deeper story in a picture using light and the uniqueness of her family life. Inspired by her children and rural lifestyle, Niki takes advantage of the unstructured days of her children's lives to dive deeper into how children live and think. Today she is sharing what she has learned about the Earth and nature through her children's eyes and how photography has enabled her to take a step back and breathe. Niki believes in opening people's eyes to the stories that are right in front of them by following your creativity and getting back down to basics. Have you ever tried a long-term documentary photography project? What was it about and what did you learn? Let us know how it went in the comments below!   IN THIS EPISODE What it's like to raise your children in a rural environment How to humbly reconnect with nature Capturing a child's freedom through photography What Niki's kids have taught her about photography and life Combining inspiration and problem solving to unlock creativity   QUOTES “That's one thing that being outside in nature really can do is make you stop and make you think about the world and not the material.” (14:09) “I'm somebody who wants to be in it, I'm very much a doer. Like let's do this and let's do that, but that's actually taught me to sit back and to just let things unfold. And the photography has helped me with that too, just to sit back and watch things unfold." (19:14) “Where my photography is at, at the moment, has all been sparked by my kids. I am curious about what it is to live a life that they live, with very little ‘have to's' and conformity. That I am very curious about, that is largely what inspires me in terms of my photography. (25:28) “I've taken pictures of my kids and I think that the pictures are a gift to me, they are a gift to them. And I've taken pictures for others and it's just such an amazing gift to give. You have this ability to make phenomenal pictures and show people how amazing their lives are and how amazing they are as people, and I think that that is the gift. And I think it's pretty special.” (28:09)   LINKS Find out everything you need to know about The Experience here!

©Francis Frith Collection“Every stone, every little perfection, or dilapidation, the most minute detail, which, on an ordinary drawing would merit no special attention becomes, on a photograph, worthy of careful study’’ - Francis FirthWelcome to the Outerfocus Podcast!This week we welcome photographer Niki Boon, from New Zealand. Niki is known for her beautiful body of work which mainly focuses on her children. We get to know a little about how Niki first got started in photography going right back to time she spent in Scotland developing film for other people to subsequently shooting the adventures of her family in New Zealand. We also hear a little about what has inspired her in times it’s been needed; her approach to photography; and what she was doing in Japan recently.Looking back at the history of photography we delve into the life and works of an English photographer named Francis Frith. Known for his work in the Middle East, he later opened Francis & Hayward, a studio in Liverpool which gained great success leading to the hiring of more photographers as his postcard company thrived, some of which are still being reproduced today. We also touch on the equipment he used, the process he followed and a small insight into his personal life.Links:https://www.francisfrith.com/uk/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_FrithGuest Links: https://www.facebook.com/nikiboonphotography/https://www.instagram.com/nikiboonphoto/?hl=enHost Links:https://www.outerfocuspodcast.cominfo@outerfocuspodcast.comBradley Hansonhttps://www.bradleyhanson.comhttps://www.facebook.com/bradleyhansonphotographyhttps://www.instagram.com/bradleyhansonphotography/https://twitter.com/bradleyhansonIan Weldonhttp://ianweldon.comhttps://www.instagram.com/not_wedding_photography/https://www.facebook.com/Ian-Weldon-Photography-124854627581367/Books:
