Episode #7 - Street photography at the races, getting published in a magazine, Ricoh GR3 problems - and more!

3 May

Welcome to ‘StreetSnappers - the Street Photography Podcast’.

Big events can make street photography easier, but only if you stop aiming at the obvious target. I’m heading to Liverpool for Grand National weekend, not to photograph the racing, but to work the city centre where the real street stories unfold: early-morning pubs, people in finery, high spirits, bad decisions, and that brilliant collision between everyday streets and “special occasion” behaviour. If you want more keepers, the margins are often where the emotion and character live.

Then I’m joined by Derek Darke, founder and editor of Klick Magazine, a print magazine made for street and documentary photographers by the people who actually shoot it. Derek shares how Klick was born from the buzz of seeing images in print, why every submission needs at least some words, and what makes him lean in when a WeTransfer lands in his inbox. We get practical about what gets rejected, why projects frequently beat single shots, how the quarterly edit and layout process works, and why niche print publishing still has real space in a digital world.

We also tackle listener questions, including the Ricoh GR3 battery life and dust concerns, plus how I keep Venice fresh after years of returning by working clear street photography projects and matching locations to light and weather. I wrap with news on my Leica-focused London workshop with zone focusing, a new critique-driven Street Snappers Worldwide group, and a reminder about the Dublin Street Photography Festival.
