Podcast Recommendation: “The Candid Frame”
Often times when I am on the move or doing sports I like to listen to podcasts about a range of topics, including photography. There are several listed in iTunes, but the one I don’t miss is The Candid Frame. These are excellent interviews by Perello Ibarionex with a broad range of photographers. The interviews are extremely well conducted, and the discussions focus mostly on the meaning and experience of photography, touching sometimes on the business of photography, but very little on the technical aspects of photography. There, you will also find some recommendations for books and artist referred by the photographers interviewed.
The most recent podcast is an interview with Freeman Patterson, a great photographer and educator, who has written very interesting books on composition including “The Art of Seeing“, a great book discussing the art of seeing in photography.
If you know of any other good podcast about art and photography in particular, I would very much appreciate to hear your opinion. It is not easy to find podcasts that are focused on the art of photography rather than the technical aspects of it.
Note: Paul Giguere, from the podcast “Thoughts on Photography” sent me a note about the Photocast Network where you will find affiliated podcasts covering various topics in photography. Thoughts on Photography (www.thoughtsonphotography.com) focuses on the fine art aspects of photography.
Funny this topic should come up. I just discovered the History of Photography and Camera Position podcasts, both by Jeff Curto. Jeff is a photography instructor, the History of Photography podcasts are just recordings of his class. Both podcasts are excellent, although Camera Position is a bit more fun because they are shorter and originally intended for the podcast format. The History podcasts are interesting but can feel a little long for me.
Thanks for the recommendation, I will give Candid Frame a try. I like to listen to podcasts while I—what else—work in the darkroom.
Thanks much for referring to Jeff Curto’s podcats. I found it a while ago, but for some reason I forgot about it. Now it is time to revisit it again.
Best regards,
Miguel
