#16 Richard Baker - PHOTO TALK - WTF-STOP PODCAST Richard Baker has worked on commissioned editorial photography, corporate assignments, personal reportage projects, and several collaborations with authors. and for a book about

His book, ‘The Red Arrows’, covers the 40th display season of Britain's Royal Air Force aerobatic team, the Red Arrows. Following Red Arrows came four commissioned books: 'The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work' (Hamish Hamilton); 'A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary' (Profile); 'Religion for Atheists' (Hamish Hamilton), all with Alain de Botton; and 'Risk Wise: Nine Everyday Adventures' by Polly Morland (Profile).

Most recently, his documentary and landscape interpretations offered a visual narrative for another collaboration with Polly Morland in 'A Fortunate Woman: A Country Doctor's Story' (Picador), shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize.

His early years were spent working in aviation before he studied documentary photography at Newport under Magnum's David Hurn, then freelancing for the Observer newspaper before being represented by the Katz/IPG agency.

Nowadays, he works independently and on a smaller scale, pursuing personal projects that tell tales on topical or conceptual themes while aspiring to be unconventional and incongruous. As well as more recent digital work, his extensive archive of scanned film images from the mid-80s to early 2000s is online here at Photoshelter, with Getty Images (via 'In Pictures') and Alamy.

#15 Patrick Ward - PHOTO TALK - WTF-STOP PODCAST Patrick Ward has photographed in Britain for the Sunday Times, Observer and Telegraph Magazines, in Europe for French and German Geo and in America for The Smithsonian Magazine, National Geographic Traveler and Time Life Books. Books published include "Being English", "Essentially English", "Wish You Were Here, the English at Play", "The Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst", "The Bike Riders" and "Amsterdam".
Patrick became interested in photography while doing National Service when a friend sent him the book of The Family of Man. He started out as an assistant to the photographer John Chillingworth (previously at Picture Post), and his own work was published in "Manplan" at The Architectural Review, the Observer Magazine, the Sunday Times Magazine, and the Telegraph Magazine.In his own time, Patrick worked on a portrayal of the English at play that resulted in the book Wish You Were Here, published in 1976 by Gordon Fraser in a uniform edition with Homer Sykes' Once a Year. This was also an observation of the class divisions of England.
Patrick was one of several photographers who contributed to Bill Jay's short-lived Album, and Jay credits his and David Hurn's generosity with saving him from starvation during that period.

#13 David Hoffman - PHOTO TALK - WTF-STOP PODCAST David Hoffman has worked as an independent photojournalist since the 1970s. It didn’t take long for him to discover that documenting the increasingly overt control of the state over our lives was what motivated him. He soon decided to run his own photo library, giving him the freedom to choose his own subject matter. His work sheds what some might see as an unforgiving light across racial and social conflict, policing, drug use, poverty, and social exclusion.

Protest, and the violence that sometimes accompanies it, is a thread that has run throughout his career, and at one point gained him a reputation as ‘the riot photographer’s riot photographer'.
Determination and a willingness to look uncomfortable realities in the eye underpin all of his work, from the metamorphosis of London’s East End to the documenting of homelessness, protest, and oppressive policing. Some find the pictures raw and uncomfortable, but his intention is to document dispassionately and let the images stand as social challenge. By engaging with the image, we are forced to recognise the world as others live it and to consider our own position.

Documenting the reality of injustice, frequent state oppression and the all too often tragic consequences, his work has supported legal challenges, brought racist perpetrators to justice, and most importantly, reached wide audiences through mass media publication for more than 40 years.

#12 Daniel Meadows - PHOTO TALK - WTF-STOP PODCAST
Photographer, documentarian, and digital storyteller Daniel Meadows (b. 1952) has spent a lifetime recording British society, challenging the status quo by working in a collaborative way to capture extraordinary aspects of ordinary life through pictures, audio recordings, and short movies. He is best known for his 1973-74 journey around England in the Free Photographic Omnibus when he traveled 10,000 miles in a converted double-decker and made 958 portraits in "free studio" sessions on the streets of 22 different British towns and cities. This is a project he revisited in the 1990s, photographing again some of the subjects of those portraits for his widely published series National Portraits: Now & Then.

His pioneering community storytelling project BBC Capture Wales (2001-08) encouraged many hundreds of people across Wales to embrace the arrival of the digital age in pop-up workshops by making their own two minutes of TV, framing their memories and pictures into digital stories, "multimedia sonnets from the people". Capture Wales won a BAFTA Cymru in 2002.

Meadows taught the documentary photography course with David Hurn in Newport(1983-94); also photojournalism (1994-2001) and digital storytelling (2000-2012) at Cardiff School of Journalism, Media & Cultural Studies where he also completed his PhD (2005). In the 1990s he taught photojournalism workshops in the emerging democracies of eastern Europe, also in India and Bangladesh.

After 2000 he traveled repeatedly to Australia and the USA lecturing about his pioneering work in participatory media.

#11 Denis Thorpe - PHOTO TALK - WTF-STOP PODCAST
Denis Thorpe joined his local newspaper with the ambition of becoming a reporter. Circumstances dictated that he was assigned to the photography department and immediately became enamoured with that medium’s creative possibilities. For Denis, photography became his passport to another world.

After National Service with the Royal Air Force, he pursued photojournalism, inspired by Picture Post and the early Magnum photographers. Thorpe embarked on a journey of freelancing through London and then the provinces working for morning and evening papers, eventually arriving at the Daily Mail in Manchester.

Denis became a Guardian staff photographer in the 1970s covering assignments across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Middle East, China, India, the Soviet Union, the United States, and Japan during a twenty-three-year career with the paper. Denis has many press awards for his picture essays and news photography including the 1979 World Press Photo Foundation Gold Medal and Ilford Photographer of the Year in 1988.

Denis has produced several books and exhibitions of his work and is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society, a Fellow of the British Institute of Professional Photography, and an Honorary Master of Arts degree from the University of Manchester. This book shows his beginnings, personal projects, and work from around the British Isles and clearly demonstrates why Denis Thorpe is considered by his peers as one of the greats of twentieth-century British photojournalism.

#10 John Walmsley - PHOTO TALK - WTF-STOP PODCAST
John Walmsley has been a freelance documentary photographer since leaving Art School in 1968. His final year project was on A.S. Neill and his democratic school, Summerhill, was published by Penguin Books in 1969 (updated edition planned for March/May 2021). His work has been published in 1,000+ books worldwide (He is the author or joint-author of 15 of them).
In one form or another, his work is also held at the National Portrait Gallery, the National Art Library at the V&A, the V&A Museum of Childhood, the Tate Britain Library, Liverpool Museum, and La Bibliothèque Nationale de France.
Mostly, he photographs ordinary people and the interesting things they do. His first story was the sit-in at Guildford School of Art in 1968 at the end of his final year there. It became the longest ever sit-in at a UK educational establishment and led directly to there being students and staff on the Advisory Boards of schools, colleges, and universities. The book, 'Finding Our Voice', which you can buy here:
https://www.johnwalmsleyphotos.co.uk/-/galleries/store/finding-our-voice-book-of-the-exhibition target="_blank">www.johnwalmsleyphotos.co.uk/-/galleries/store/finding-our-voice-book-of-the-exhibition
is not only the catalogue of the exhibition to mark the 50th anniversary, but also records the day-by-day events throughout the sit-in (Claire Grey's diary of events and his photographs).
In the 70s he was a part-time lecturer at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London. Plus, he lived and worked with a large group of artists at the Digswell Arts Trust in Welwyn Garden City. Think, very large house, lots of creativity but very little heating.
Increasingly these days, he gives Zoom talks to students and/or professionals about having your 'ducks in a row from the beginning so you stand a better chance of making a living. In particular, protecting your copyright so you could be paid later (sometimes, years later) when someone uses your work without asking and refuses to pay anything, typically saying, "Photos are free, right?".

#9 Marilyn Stafford - PHOTO TALK - WTF-STOP PODCAST
Marilyn Stafford was given a Rolleiflex camera by a friend in New York in 1947, which first piqued her interest in photography, and to support herself in between acting roles, she found work assisting US fashion photographer Francesco Scavullo.
Her photographic career was formally launched in autumn 1948 when she took her first portrait of Albert Einstein for friends who were making a documentary film about him. She was given a 35mm SLR camera for the first time and a quick lesson in how to use it in the back of the car on the way to his house in New Jersey.
in 1948, Marilyn joined a friend on a visit to Paris where she became friends with the war photographer and Magnum co-founder, Robert Capa.
On a ferry crossing to England in 1949, Marilyn met Mulk Raj Anand. She had been tasked by an American friend to buy some books in London and by an incredible twist of fate, the writer of those books was sat beside her on the ferry. Anand became Stafford’s life-long friend and introduced her to Henri Cartier-Bresson, who was to become her photography mentor back in Paris. It was Cartier-Bresson who encouraged her to take street photographs and following his advice, she took a bus to the end of the line where she photographed children in the working-class neighbourhoods of Cité Lesage-Bullourde near Place de la Bastille.
In 1951 Marilyn spent a short period assisting US fashion photographer, Gene Fenn, in his Paris studio and then worked for a PR agency as a fashion photographer herself, an avenue of photography that was more welcoming to women. Fashion photography of haute couture clothing at that time was normally modeled in opulent surroundings but Stafford typically took a documentary approach, preferring to photograph the models on her beloved streets of Paris.
In 1958, whilst 6 months pregnant, Marilyn went on a personal mission to Tunisia to document the plight of Algerian refugees fleeing France’s aerial bombardment in the Algerian War of Independence.
In 1959 Marilyn photographed Italian writers Carlo Levi , Italo Calvino, and Alberto Moravio.
In 1960 Marilyn traveled extensively in Lebanon, photographing people and places, later published in her book Silent Stories: A Photographic Journey Through Lebanon in the 60s (Saqi, London, 1998).
In the mid-1960s she moved to London as a single mother and found regular work with The Observer, Vogue, Women’s Wear Daily, and The Herald Tribune on both commissions and self-assigned projects and it was during this period that she photographed many celebrities of the day including, Donovan, Twiggy, Margot Fonteyn, and Rudolf Nureyev.
Marilyn was one of few women photographers working for national and international newspapers and magazines at the time and was also one of very few women on the camera / stills Executive Committee of ACTT / BECTU. This gave her an insight into the difficulty of balancing a career in photography with single motherhood, which many years later led her to set up the Marilyn Stafford FotoReportage Award to support women photographers globally.
In 1972 Marilyn spent a month photographing Indira Gandhi, India’s only woman Prime Minister at home and on her duties following the war with Pakistan, which created the new state of Bangladesh.
A selection of Marilyn's work is included in the archives of the University of Texas, USA.
In 2017, Marilyn set up the Marilyn Stafford FotoReportage Award for women photographers, supported by Nikon UK, and in association with arts social enterprise FotoDocument
In February 2019, Marilyn received an Award for Exceptional Achievement in Photography from UK publication, Amateur Photographer.
In March 2020, Marilyn received the Chairman’s Lifetime Achievement Award from the UK Picture Editors’ Guild Awards in London.

#8 Roger Hutchings - PHOTO TALK - WTF-STOP PODCAST
Roger Hutchings is an award-winning British documentary photographer who studied at Newport School of Art in Wales mentored by the Magnum photographer David Hurn. Thereafter he worked with the London Observer Newspaper as a roving photojournalist covering British and World affairs. Subsequently, he joined the photographic agency Network Photographers undertaking assignments for many of the World's leading news magazines. Between commissions, he concentrated on personal documentary work producing books and exhibitions for an international audience. Three significant pieces of reportage have received critical acclaim. Thatcher's Britain, a long-term social documentary report about Britain; Bosnia, surviving the civil war in Former Yugoslavia and Ataturk's Children, pictures examining the relationship between the Turkish State and its Kurdish minority.

In 1996 switching tack after years as a photo-reporter, concerned with news and social issues, Hutchings started looking at creative trends in the fashion industry whose young designers were part of the growing cultural phenomena that became Cool Britannia. The pictures won the Nikon Arts’ Photographer of The Year Award in 1997 and attracted interest from the fashion industry that later led to a collaboration with Giorgio Armani resulting in two books, Backstage and Armani in China pointedly signaling withdrawal from traditional social documentary photography. From this time Hutchings’ aesthetic concerns steered him toward colour imagery evoking inner contemplation although in these images consistent undertones of geometry and intensity can still be detected, despite changing motives, influences and audiences.

According to his former editor at Network Photographers “…… as Hutchings has developed as a photographer his vision has matured in his more recent colour work. There is a surprising coherence between the event-driven imagery of his work for news media and the more recent abstracted colour studies made as self-assigned reveries. All the imagery demonstrates the photographers' curiosity in the human world, exploring relationships between the people and their environments. These scattered glimpses of individual lives and fragmented studies of colour, place, and experience weave together as one coherent overview of the world and our place in it" (Stephen Mayes, No Heroes, 2003)

In 2009 he became the Senior Lecturer in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography at The London College of Communication soon taking up the role of Course Director. He continued teaching until 2018, deciding to step down, to once again concentrate on his own photography.

Throughout his long career Hutchings has contributed to the wider photographic community as Chairman of the World Press Photo Jury, Chair of The British Press Photographer’s Awards and with talks and broadcasts about photography, photojournalism, and ethics.

In 2005 he was profiled in the BBC television series A Digital Picture of Britain a programme that examined how an artist's geographical roots influence their work and explored the importance of new technology in contemporary photography.

Most recently he presented Zeitline a body of work reflecting on the incremental development of a photographer’s evolving vision. [ April 2017, Upper Street Gallery, London College of Communication ]

#7 John Bulmer - PHOTO TALK - WTF-STOP PODCAST
John Bulmer was a pioneer of colour photography in the early 1960s working for the Sunday Times Magazine from the very first issue till the 1970s.

He was brought up in Herefordshire, became a passionate photographer, and when he went to study engineering at Cambridge continued taking photographs- first for the University newspaper Varsity and then for Image, a picture magazine that he co-founded. He also started shooting stories on Cambridge for Queen Magazine, the Daily Express newspaper, and finally a story on the Night Climbers of Cambridge which sold to Life Magazine.

This ended his career at Cambridge, and he went up to London where he was offered a job as a photographer on the Daily Express. At the time the Express was the foremost paper in Britain for photography and did many assignments in association with Paris Match.

He soon started shooting stories for Town Magazine, a new fashion magazine that became well known for good photography, using others such as Terrence Donovan, David Bailey, and Don McCullin. John Bulmer did many groundbreaking stories for them including; The Black Country, Nelson, The North, as well as overseas stories in South America, Africa, New Guinea, and Indonesia.

The Sunday Times then produced the first of the Colour Supplements, later copied by all the newspapers. John Bulmer shared the cover of the first issue with David Bailey- a picture of a footballer he took surrounded by pictures of Jean Shrimpton’s armpit! This was a small start but John soon had a contract to shoot sixty pages a year and traveled to nearly 100 countries on their behalf.

The writer Martin Harrison, in his book about photography in the 60’s “The Young Meteors” describes the start of the Colour Magazines:-

“The switch to colour was, therefore, quite sudden and few photographers were prepared for it.

John Bulmer was recognised immediately for having made the necessary adjustment and thinking specifically in terms of colour became one of the most prolific contributors of colour reportage to the Sunday Times Colour Section.

Many of Bulmer’s most important assignments were abroad, but he was also acknowledged as an adroit recorder of provincial Britain. His reputation as a recorder of the industrial cityscape was probably gained at Town, where he was responsible for stories on Nelson, Lancashire, The Black Country, and The North is dead”

His work was several times singled out for awards by the Design and Art Directors Club and he has had pictures shown at the Gallery of Modern Art in New York, the Photographers' Gallery in London, and the National Museum of Photography in Bradford

By the early seventies, the Sunday Times changed course, looking for stories on “Crime, Middle-class living and Fashion” as described to Bulmer by the new editor.

It was time for a change and John Bulmer moved sideways into making documentary films. He filmed a programme on the life of Van Gogh in the South of France, directed by Mai Zetterling, and went on to direct many films on travel and untouched tribes in the most inaccessible parts of the world. These were primarily shown on BBC, Nat Geo, and Discovery Channel.

He has now returned to Herefordshire to catalogue and show his huge collection of still photographs, many of which have never been seen.

#6 Geoff Howard - PHOTO TALK - WTF-STOP PODCAST
Geoff Howard, documentary and reportage photographer, based in London.
His archives cover commissioned editorial photography, personal and self-assigned work, and architectural photographs taken for publishers. The files contain many thousands of images, taken over five decades.

His photographs are in the National Portrait Gallery collection in London, the Museum of London collection, the London Guildhall Archive, Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, and private collections.

Geoff Howard:
" I photographed the people and places that caught my attention, shooting from an interest in, and a curiosity about, what was there and what was happening, happy to be working without the restrictions which often accompany commissioned projects. People have asked why I shot with flash – in those days, most photographers would only use available light – shades of Cartier-Bresson – but in the disco pubs, it was really dark – and I wanted to see, to show more clearly, what it was like, what was happening; less atmosphere, but more information. I stopped photographing there so intensively when I felt I had done the things which demanded to be photographed, and I didn’t want to make the same pictures over again. Then the whole area, the whole character of the area, changed – with redevelopment, new building, the yuppyfication of docklands; there were lots of photographers documenting the new docklands, and if I had continued, it would have been a different story, so it seemed like a natural end, a natural place to stop. I have been back, a few times – I was there last year, to try and check some locations when I started putting this book together; it was interesting, frustrating, indeed perplexing trying to identify places I used to know well, and now so changed."

[Rotherhithe Photographs was published in 2008, although images from the project had previously appeared in the legendary Creative Camera magazine in 1975, and a selection of pictures was also exhibited at London’s Whitechapel Art Gallery in 1978. Seen from the vantage point of 2012, Geoff’s photos capture the half-forgotten ‘Interzone’ between the dock closures and Thatcherite redevelopment and demonstrate, yet again, that there is nothing quite as remote as the recent past.] Source: Dave Seacombe.

#4 Ian Berry - PHOTO TALK - WTF-STOP PODCAST
Magnum Photos photographer Ian Berry talks about his time working in South Africa and in England, while we look through his favorite photos both from his lifes work and from his book on South Africa entitled 'Living Apart'.

Originally recorded in the Print Room at Magnum Photos in London on Feb 28th, 2019.
Magnum Photos: https://www.magnumphotos.com/photogra...

Ian Berry was born in Lancashire, England. He made his reputation in South Africa, where he worked for the Daily Mail and later for Drum magazine. He was the only photographer to document the massacre at Sharpeville in 1960, and his photographs were used in the trial to prove the victims’ innocence.

Henri Cartier-Bresson invited Ian Berry to join Magnum in 1962 when he was based in Paris. He moved to London in 1964 to become the first contract photographer for the Observer Magazine. Since then assignments have taken him around the world: he has documented Russia’s invasion of Czechoslovakia; conflicts in Israel, Ireland, Vietnam, and the Congo; famine in Ethiopia; apartheid in South Africa. The major body of work produced in South Africa is represented in two of his books: Black and Whites: L’Afrique du Sud (with a foreword by the then-French president François Mitterrand), and Living Apart (1996). During the last year, projects have included child slavery in Ghana and the Spanish fishing industry.

Important editorial assignments have included work for National Geographic, Fortune, Stern, Geo, national Sunday magazines, Esquire, Paris-Match, and LIFE. Ian Berry has also reported on the political and social transformations in China and the former USSR.

#3 Diane Bush - PHOTO TALK - WTF-STOP PODCAST
Vegas-based American artist and photographer Diane Bush talks about her time as part of the Exit Photography Group in the 70s and her life connection with the world as a photographer.

Diane Bush is an American activist artist and photographer, who trained in the U.K. In her later years, Bush has embraced public art through public participation projects using fiber art (Yarn Bombing) and performance. "I think of myself as a problem solver that uses art (and humor) to get the job done."
Diane Olson-Bush was born in Buffalo, N.Y. At the age of 18, she emigrated to the U.K. with a draft dodger, in response to the Vietnam War. After living there for ten years and working as a documentary photographer, she returned to the U.S. to attend to her ailing parents. Once back in Buffalo, N.Y. she obtained her Masters Degree in Photography from the State University of New York at Buffalo by documenting local boxing gyms and billiard halls.

After graduating, she spent seven years as staff photographer at the local affiliate of the National Public Broadcasting and ABC-TV stations. At the same time, she pursued self-imposed artistic projects and established a non-profit public arts organization, “URBAN ART”.

Diane returned to academia by spending six years as the Coordinator of the Photography Department at a local two-year college just outside of Buffalo. While her students were winning numerous national awards and prizes, Diane was doing the same with her own professional and artistic work, through the generosity of such entities as Kodak, Polaroid, Women in Photography, Nikon, Ilford, the Royal Photographic Society, Friends of Photography (San Francisco), The Albright –Knox Art Gallery, and the United Nations.

Throughout her professional career, Diane has continued to exhibit her work in approximately 2-5 group shows per year, and has been exhibited and published locally, nationally, and internationally, including shows in Japan, China, Great Britain, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Spain, France, Switzerland, and Italy. Since her relocation to Las Vegas in 1997, she has been awarded 15 grants and a Fellowship from the Nevada Arts Council. In 2009 she became the U.S.A. Fellowship nominee. Diane continues to teach occasional photographic workshops and regularly contributes art and donations to Buffalo and Las Vegas-based arts organizations.

Diane’s satirical and fine art imagery sampled from T.V. and other sources spans over 30 years and includes videos, talking pictures, performance work, and stills.

Bush’s published 2005 monograph, WARHEADS contains images that satirize America’s news censorship of the Iraqi War, are more relevant now, than ever. These were created by shooting TV surfaces with a macro lens at obtuse angles and throwing bleach the resulting C-prints.

Currently, she is creating fiber-based works aimed at satirizing president Trump’s self-admitted sexual predatory behavior, called “Make a Merkin Great Again”.

Diane is a past President and Director of the Contemporary Arts Center of Las Vegas where she lives with her artist husband, Steve Baskin, and Mookie the cat. Both she and her husband collect everything vintage but have a very soft spot for anything mid-century, mod and psychedelic.

#1 John Angerson - PHOTO TALK - WTF-STOP PODCAST
John Angerson talks about his life and his connection with the world as a photographer.
John Angerson (b.1969 Bristol, England) started his career in the early 1990s, covering the fall of the Berlin Wall and the changing geopolitical landscape of Eastern Europe. Since then, his work has continued to explore the different languages of documentary photography, focusing on how specific communities form, shift, and develop. His projects have garnered critical acclaim and have been exhibited at major art institutions in the UK and overseas. His monograph - Love, Power, Sacrifice (published by Dewi Lewis, Manchester) documented the Jesus Army over twenty years and peers into a microcosm of a fanatical religion. His most recent book; English Journey (published by B&W studio, Leeds) was a 4-year photographic travelogue across England in the footsteps of Bradford author J.B.Priestley. The work presents a purposefully non-nostalgic, contemporary view of England. It casts the lens on the globalized economic framework at call centres, transnational hotel chains, and the co-dependency of international outsourcing. The work was shown in exhibitions across the UK and Europe and the book has sold across three continents since its publication. He now splits his time between shooting personal projects, teaching at various Universities, and shooting features and portraiture for a range of magazines, charities, and design agencies.
