In this episode of Street Life, co-hosts Mark Davidson and John St dive into an exciting discussion about John's recent achievement of becoming an official Fujifilm collaborator. 

John shares the journey that led him to work with Fujifilm, starting with an email he received in December inviting him to collaborate on a project involving the GFX100RF camera. 

Throughout the episode, John recounts the challenges he faced while shooting with the GFX100RF, including the restrictions on recognisable faces and commercial elements in his street photography. He describes the intense two-week shooting period where he captured around 8,000 images, all while adhering to the commercial brief. Mark and John discuss the technical aspects of the camera, including its build quality, image sharpness, and usability for street photography, with John expressing his admiration for the GFX100RF despite its niche appeal.

Mark also shares his recent experiences in street photography, discussing his own projects and the creative processes he’s been exploring, including double exposures. The episode wraps up with a discussion on the importance of perseverance in photography and the joy of capturing candid moments, emphasising that behind every stunning image lies a multitude of attempts and hard work.

Join us for this engaging episode filled with insights, laughter, and a celebration of street photography and the opportunities that come with passion and dedication.

There's a particular kind of alchemy that happens when a photographer hits the pavement, turning fleeting glances and mundane moments into something permanent and profound. Street Life digs into that process, hosted by the insightful duo of John St and Mark Davidson. Every other week, they pull up a chair with a fascinating array of image-makers who find their muse in the public square. You'll hear from revered figures whose work has defined the genre for decades, sitting right alongside new voices who are pushing the boundaries of what street photography can be. The conversations are less about technical gear talk and more about the human experience behind the viewfinder-the stories of patience, chance, and connection that lead to a single, compelling frame. This podcast thrives on the personal narratives and the shared obsession that drives photographers to wander cities with a camera. It’s an invitation to understand not just how these artists see, but why they look where they do, offering a deeper appreciation for the vibrant, unscripted theater of everyday life. Tune in for a regular dose of inspiration that might just make you see your own surroundings in a completely new light.
