365 Embrace Winter
Watch this on video | Join us on Discord for more TFOP chat!
It was a dark and stormy night in the dead of winter. Villagers huddled round their fires. A few hardy ones ventured to the inn to swap stories of great exaggeration. It was a time to lay low and wait for the light to return.
Except if you are a photographer of course!
This week we talk nabout some great winter photo projects and how to get the best out of the dark days. And many apologies to souther hemisphere listeners for whom this is clearly - as usual - porrly timed 😀.

364 Shooting Infrared With a Phone
Watch this on video | Join us on Discord for more TFOP chat!
Historically, Infrared (IR) photography has requried some special kit. Maybe film sensitive to the different frequencies or a digital camera converted to allow IR to hit the sensor. And after some time and effort you can get those nice images where the leaves are all white and the sky is a deep black colour.
But today, it is easier than ever to shoot IR and in fact you can do it on your phone. Chris tells us how it's done and shares his experiments.
Mentioned in the show:
WRN Film inspiration
Chris’s IR videos
Picks of the week:
Affinity teaser
Moft iPad mini case
Arctic icebergs

362 Ade Needs An App
Watch this on video | Join us on Discord for more TFOP chat!
One effective way to make sure your software subscriptions don't rack up is to switch off the auto-renew. Adrian has actively built this into his photography hobby - choosing a new thing every year based on whatever creative whim takes him at the time. And it's come around again - time to choose a new app! With little help from Jeremiah and Chris that is.

Watch this on video | Join us on Discord for more TFOP chat!
When a photographer and an idea love each other very much... this week we consider high concept photography. Inspired by Nadia Lee Cohen and Martin Parr's new book Julie Bullard, we discuss how work like this is even conceivable. And then with the help of YouTuber Tim Runia, how it is we can get started on projects of this kind.

357 Eroding Creativity
Watch this on video | Join us on Discord for more TFOP chat!
There’s a lot of commentary on social media at the moment about modern tools making us too comfortable to create and (of course) algorithms sundering our culture. But it’s a multi-dimensional thing for sure and each of those dimensions you could pick one side or the other.
So what happened to suffering for our art? What happened to 10,000hours? Are we all destined to morph into super-saturated influencers in sponsored bikinis? Or should we go back to pouring chemicals onto glass plates?
Let’s debate!
