Feeling clear of his cold/bronchitis(!) for a while, Andy babbles about keeping happy in hard times, where the show is going (a little more pro), and announces his new project. Also, news and views in and around the Nikon z6 II & z7 II as well as the updated Fujifilm 10-24mm and S10 among others. […]

This week, a chat and photos slides with tips and thoughts about travel photography situations. Enjoy the photos from Brugge (Bruges) for examples and ideas, all from my times as Photo Tour Brugge ( https://phototourbrugge.com) and feel welcome anytime for an in-person view. 🙂

This week I'm still sick with a cold (hey at least it ain't COVID!) but still on air and with some quick advice on keeping busy in photography. Apologies for delay on broadcast from last week, you would NOT have enjoyed hearing my sicky-boy voice then haha!

Andy's Photo Show is a go! 🙂

Guess I was wrong last episode to say This Photo Life was stopping... We're back and (I think) better than ever! 🙂

1st ever live feed of photo feedback on Andy's Photo Show, still early days (and small viewership) so after Ricky's photos I dug into some of my own from Paris in 2016.

Very first live (test) broadcast of Andy's Photo Show from Aug 30 2020, starts with a presentation of my life in photography before the questions kick in like: Better depth of field with a 50mm lens Shooting photos as a painter JPG vs RAW Level horizons What Andy thinks of Olympus cameras & Micro 4/3 […]

What better to discuss and muse about for the last episode of this podcast than what to do when things end? From being aware of your work enough to evaluate if things should carry on, what priorities to consider if you're at that crossroads, and what we can take from these efforts even once they […]

This episode I continue and conclude my talk with glamour/adult/erotica photographer about his work as it unfolded into a full time career, the community he cares for next to the photos, and going long into gear talk for what he uses when on the job either on set or otherwise.

This week I chat with glamour and adult erotica photographer OG Foto from Las Vegas about his career in depth and detail, starting this episode with his life before it was work and the value of photographic therapy as he built up to the pro league.

An episode of exploring the positive side of this lockdown situation as far as your photography goes, options to consider if you're stuck in the 4 walls of home and when/if you're allowed out for some air.

As a photo tour operator and commercial photographer here in Brugge since 2012... I **definitely** noticed the Coronavirus / COVID-19 situation here big time to say the least. I talk about the situation as the exclusive topic this week, even got the wife in to ask the questions so it wouldn't get too monologue-y not […]

This episode we chat with Suzanne Porter about her fascinating journey in photography, from her NGO humanitarian shooting  globally (with an emphasis on Africa) before settling down in Morocco to open her photo tour in Marrakesh in 2009. The story certainly doesn't stop there: in 2019 she started Clik-Trip.com as a currated directory of photo […]

A slightly delayed episode release thanks to things going slightly to poop... So we talk about that in photography and otherwise. Also, some thoughts from the recent Costumes in Bruges event on event photography and managing crowds of cameras both crazy or casual.

Welcome to 2020 everyone, we're back on This Photo Life and couldn't be happier after time off for holiday at home in Montreal and then (properly haha) with the wife & dog in Brugge. This ep is about staying loose and relaxed as well as

Perhaps my best tutorial so far (I've got only a tiny media budget or time windows haha) and especially considering the madness of filming it during "Costumes in Bruges" where the Venetian-masked "Regards Vénitiens" performance group TAKE OVER the already-magical city of Brugge (Bruges) Belgium with simply breathtaking beauty. Started in 2015 by Discover Brugge […]

Apologies from Andy for the semi-great delay getting this one out, busy at work and even enough that it gets talked about at top of the show. After that it's gear news (Sony Nikon & Fujifilm) and my salty opinions on what's new there, then for the Q&A it's talk of editing software (free and […]

 Part 2 of my chat with the wonderful Valerie Jardin! Last time we covered her process of building a fine art photo book (episode link) and this time it's a freeflow chat about Paris, getting the shots on the street (whether on her own or while leading her workshops), then some gear chat re. […]

We're back from the break, lovely summer here in Brugge and hope you all had a great one with some killer photos and moments around the shot! On this episode it's a blaze of returning awesome with Valerie Jardin coming by for once more to discuss her new (and first non-instructional) photo book that is […]

A quick little monologue on keeping loose and open and rolling with the punches, life can certainly throw them at you (photos and otherwise) and gotta make sure to keep it breezy to keep it easy. 😉 LINKS: Andy's website: http://andymcsweeney.com Andy on Youtube: http://youtube.com/andymcphoto Andy's Instagram: http://instagram.com/andymcphoto Photo Tour Brugge: www.phototourbrugge.com Use the promo code […]
