Welcome inside the world of Lee Williams, the creator behind two of London's photographic institutions- Rapid Eye Darkrooms & the Photobook Cafe - both of which we are proud to say are our neighbours, right here in the heart of Shoreditch. Typically, you'd find our guest for this episode, Lee Williams, behind the scenes, coming up with ideas that foster community and natural habitats for creative humans working in fashion, advertising and film- alongside (unknowingly) being recognised as a mentor to them. In this episode, we're taking you even deeper into Lee's personal story and how he's turned his passion into not one, but two thriving businesses. From leaving his native Wales and working weekends in an East London darkroom,  to receiving a £250 grant from the Princes Trust that led to him setting up his very own, Lee exposes his ambition behind a beloved community institution. And then right back to the present day - on why he encourages photographers to talk about their work during the printing process at Rapid Eye, and how his interest in the concept of  “third spaces”  led to the creation of the Photobook Cafe…It's also important to mention the two powerhouse women at the helm of both Rapid Eye and Photobook Cafe, making it all actually happen - Lee's wife Sebi & London nightlife legend Farika Holden. A massive shout-out to you both!Consider this episode your warm and cosy entrance into Lee's roots, mindset and above all, passion for photography. It's a truly rare insight into his photographic universe. Follow @rapideye.darkroom & @photobookcafeEPISODE INSIGHTSWhy following your curiosity can lead to everything falling into placeWhy analogue photography is more relevant than everHow personal projects feed passion and help build communityThoughts on the episode?

Pablo Giori is the co-founder and director of the Experimental Photo Festival, the Ágora, School of Experimentation, and the  International Photography Festivals Association (IPFA) in Barcelona.

The Catalan photographer, publicist, and writer is most known for republican posters and propaganda during the Spanish Civil War. He also had contact with various avant-garde associations in Barcelona, and his work can be related to photographers such as Man Ray, Moholy-Nagy, Renger-Patzsch and Sougez, among others. Pablo Giori holds a Bachelor's degree in Philology (National University of Tucumán), a master's degree in Cultural Studies (University of Girona), a master's degree in Strategic Communication (Universitat Rovira i Virgili) and a PhD in Contemporary History (Universitat de Girona). He has taken courses on Photographic archives management in the digital environment and on Preservation, conservation and digitization of photographic originals at the Institut d'Estudis Fotogràfics de Catalunya.   Pablo Giori's official website with information about his photography projects and academic work. - https://en.pablogiori.com/ - https://www.instagram.com/pablo.giori/ International Photography Festivals Association (IPFA) - https://www.photographyfestivalsassociation.com/ - https://www.instagram.com/experimentalphotofestival/ Experimental Photo Festival Barcelona - https://en.experimentalphotofestival.com/ - https://www.instagram.com/photographyfestivals/   Michael Dooney https://beacons.ai/michaeldooney   This episode of Subtext & Discourse Art World Podcast was recorded on 3.

In this episode of the podcast, I chat with Kim Grant, a passionate nature photographer whose journey is both inspiring and filled with valuable lessons. Kim discusses the significance of mindfulness in capturing authentic moments, her unique approach to engaging with subjects, and the benefits of simplifying both gear and language in photography. THE BIG IDEASMindfulness Enhances Creativity: Being present and attentive enhances your ability to create meaningful, emotionally resonant images that deeply connect with viewers. Simplify Your Gear: Often, using minimal equipment can increase your creativity and enjoyment, focusing more on the art rather than the technical aspects.Balance Social Media Use: Limiting time on social platforms helps you stay grounded in real-world experiences, reducing stress and fostering creativity.Personal Exploration: Discover your unique style by experimenting with different techniques and genres, exploring what personally resonates and brings you joy.PHOTOGRAPHY ACTION PLANPractice Mindful Photography: Schedule quiet photo sessions in nature where you can focus fully on your surroundings without distractions. Pay close attention to natural light, colors, textures, and moments, allowing these elements to inspire your shots.Simplify Your Gear: Limit yourself to one primary lens for a week to challenge your creativity and adaptability. Use a basic camera setup to practice capturing stunning images without relying on advanced gear.Reduce Social Media Time: Allocate specific periods throughout the day for checking social media, and stick to these times to avoid constant distractions. Invest the additional free time in exploring local areas to photograph, allowing for spontaneous and mindful captures. Explore Different Genres: Dedicate a day each week to experiment with various photography genres like portrait, macro, wildlife, or astrophotography. Reflect on your experiences and assess which styles evoke the most emotional response and enjoyment for you.Engage with a Photography Community: Join photography groups, whether on platforms like Mighty Networks or local meetups, to connect with other enthusiasts. Actively participate by sharing your work, offering and receiving feedback, and attending workshops to continually improve and network.RESOURCES:Visit Kim Grant's Website - https://www.photographicconnections.com/Follow Kim Grant on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kimgrantphotography/Learn What Camera Settings to Use in our free guide!https://perfectcamerasettings.com/ Start Building Your Dream Photography Business for FREE with CloudSpot Studio.

Guest Bios:  Boris Eldagsen is an acclaimed media artist, photographer, and AI pioneer based in Berlin. His work in photomedia explores the limits of what can be depicted. Using a combination of street photography, staged works, and, most recently, both still and video AI image-making tools, he deals intensively with the subconscious, which inspires him to create new worlds of images.   Boris has taught creativity, concept development, and photographic art in both Germany and Australia since 2004. Additionally, he is a member of Deutsche Fotografische Akademie, and is responsible for their online activities. Miles Astray is a multidisciplinary artist who combines writing and photography into art activism. He was inspired by a slow and immersive journey around the world that started in 2012, when he set out to work with grassroots nonprofits for a year.  Little did he know this would be the first step of a new chapter of a reinvented life, living and working with local communities in Latin America, Asia and Africa. When he returned home for the first time in 2018, he found home was no longer a place to settle, it was just another place to stop along the path of a greater journey. And, thus he's still out there, not so much to find answers, but to keep asking questions.
