Sunny 16 Podcast

On this weeks show we've got a gaggle of hosts in one virtual room for a new years catch up, which we recorded on video as well - YouTube link below if you want to watch along! Clare, Ade, John and Graeme talk about recent activities including printing, photobook reading, zine preparations and Gerbil videos - what a week!

We also talk briefly about the Fuji film discontinuation, and the new paper from Ilford.

AND very excitingly, we announce the start of a new round of the Cheap Shots Challenge! Rules below for the forgetful:

This week we are joined by the pinnacle of 80s pop bands, The Bangles! errr...nope that's not right, but it is the equally inspirational, Dan Bassini.

Talking about his lockdown project that led him to producing 'Cruel Summer', an exploration of his local area and a solo road trip around New England. Using the same compact cameras and his vast experience that he usually applies to creating 'No Invite', a series of photozines about the New York fashion week.

Hey folks, in the hole left by the Sunny 16 festive break we've got the perfect thing to plug it - another fabulous episode of I dream of cameras from Jeff Greenstein and Gabe Sachs.

In this year to forget, the Sunbeams annual Christmas get together is very much a Christmas stay apart, but nonetheless it's a delight to have Clare, Rachel, John, Graeme... and Ade all back together for an end of year chinwag and celebration that we've made it this far!
 
If you'd like to see our fabulous Christmas hats (and who wouldn't) then go to our Ko-Fi page and there should be a link to the video for this episode - no donation required or asked for, it was just the easiest place to share it without putting it out for general YouTube broadcast as it was a post recording decision to share it, so it is what it is!
 
Much festive love from us all at Sunny 16, I hope the you stay safe and well over the next few weeks and months, and we look forward to talking to you again in 2021

On this weeks show we try to put our newly inspired good planning habits to practice and have a carefully prepared for 1 Hour Shoot!

Sadly, no amount of planning can keep away the lurgy, which struck down both Clare and Rachel, but luckily John and Graeme were joined by three awesome listeners; John-Micheal Mendizza, Billy Sanford and Nick Marshall, who all took part in the challenge as well. And even though Clare couldn't be with us on the night, the next night she gave it a go and recorded some audio for the show!

On this weeks show, John Clare and Graeme are joined by professional photographer and artist Craig Fleming to talk about how his rekindled love of shooting film not only inspired his personal photography, but also helped him find more work, and helped keep his passion for photography alive when work threatened to drag it down.

On this weeks show, Rachel and Clare give the hapless Graeme an insight into the kind of planning and preparation that goes into a successful shoot, exhibition, event or whatever it may be - turns our it's a lot! Given how little time many of us have to actually take pictures, we hope a chat about how to get the most from that time will be useful.

As part of this we've also decided that in two weeks, on December the 17th, we're going to attempt another one hour challenge, but this time we're all going to plan in advance and see if that helps! We'd love you to join us virtually for it and take part, so get planning your shoot and there will be more details soon!
