In this episode we chat with delightful Ariela Badenas who's a photographer from Vancouver, Canada. She tells us why she loves film, how important community darkrooms are and why she would rather wear all her clothes on top of each other than not have enough space in her bag for cameras when travelling.

Welcome to our mini-series on photographic style! We’ve been wanting to discuss style for ages but didn’t feel we could do it justice in a single show so it was a great topic for our first foray into longer conversations. (Yeah, ok some of the earlier Sunny 16s did go on for hours 😂.)
What is photographic style? How do you get a style? Can you choose a style? How do you learn from others and take inspiration from their work without copying?
To help us dive in, our super special guest is Nick Carver - film photographer, educator, YouTuber and a fellow traveller on the journey to understanding this elusive subject.
Nick recently posted a video on style in his own work. And his website has some awesome collections!

The reality of making this show has been a much richer discussion than any of us expected. We talk about Outsider Artists - their work, the impact they have had on the art world when finally recognised, exploitation of unintended legacies - the list is long and we have only scratched the surface!

Tune in for the long-awaited (sorry about that folks) conclusion and results of the Cheapshots Challenge. Our theme is harvest and our show is replete with metaphorical and abstract interpretations of the theme - with a few actually-on-brief submissions as well 😀.
Many thanks to everyone who submitted images - as you will hear, we got some awesome stuff!

Happy New Year everyone!
Just a few weeks ago, Dave and Benny set up NorthWestFilmPhoto - a group dedicated to film photography in the north west of England. They are just starting out and have already built a great Discord community and hosted a big photowalk.
Our conversation with the NWFP guys has loads of interesting stories and real excitement for something new that is kicking off in glorious (we hope) 2023!!!
