Hi. Welcome to episode 16 of Photographers Stories! It's been a while! Hasn't it! Sorrynotsorry about not making an episode sooner, I have been busy not stressing about editing audio, it's been great to be honest. I recorded this episode in September of last year (2016) in Christchurch with my old boss Greg Bramwell, who owned and ran Photo and Video International for 28 years! We chat about the ups and downs of the photographic industry, his photography, learning photography from Laurence Aberhart, other people's photography, photo labs, photographers, cameras and a lot of other things. At the time of recording Greg had recently sold the camera store, something you don't really hear people doing much anymore. Sorry if the file is a bit big but I am a bit rusty at this, maybe only download it on wifi. I hope you enjoy my chat with Greg!

Hi and welcome to the long, long awaited 3rd episode of Ambre and Matthew's Audio Adventures in Japan! I'm sorry it's taken so long to make and upload this. I blame Christmas and my birthday in January when I received a Playstation 4. In this episode we talk about: Travelling from Kyoto to Tokyo on the Shinkansen, wandering around Tokyo, eating ice cream, spiders, stationary, the Studio Ghibli Museum and visiting Hello Kitty. Oh and some photography talk thrown in for good measure. And all of the yawning you can possibly handle. Enjoy! Cheers, MRJ and ATP.

Hi. This is part 2 of Ambré and Matthew's Audio Adventures in Japan. This episode is once again 5 chapters or days of our trip to Japan. In this episode we are mostly hanging out in Kyoto and describe visiting Kinkakuji (The Golden Pavilion), Ryoanji Zen Garden, Heian Garden, Universal Studios Japan and last but definitely not least, the Studio Ghibli shop. We talk about Japan, food, photography, food, the weird stuff we come across, food and we also yawn a lot. Sorry, we were tired! I hope you enjoy listening! MRJ.

Photographer Stories Presents: Ambre and Matthew's Audio Adventures in Japan #2

Hi. This is not a normal episode of Photographer Stories. Late last week my girlfriend Ambré and I returned from just over 2 weeks holiday in Japan. At the end of each day her and I had a little conversation about what we did during that day and recorded it. We do talk about photography a little bit but there is a lot of talk about Japan (obviously), where we went that day, food and weird/memorable things that happened to us. This is the first 5 days of our trip. I hope it's not too boring for you! Enjoy! MRJ

Hi and welcome to episode 15 of Photographer Stories. I made another one! This is a very special episode of Photographer Stories for two reasons. Firstly I chat with a female photographer (finally) and secondly it's a double episode, two female photographers at the same time! That's like a two for the price of one episode of Photographer Stories, that's good value! I speak to Shelley and Rebecca, two colleagues of mine who studied photography at a tertiary level and who are also awesome photographers and awesome ladies! We had a good chat the other night after work over cupcakes about them, photography, photographers, cameras, life and other shit. There is also an extra special secret message at the end of the podcast for you to decode. I hope you enjoy it! Cheers, MRJ.

Hi and welcome back to Photographer Stories! Or should you be welcoming me back? Either way it's been a long, long time, hasn't it? In this Episode of Photographer Stories I talk to a mate of mine, Melbourne's Damian Young. You may have seen Damian's website www.melbournestreetphotography.com.au, if you haven't check it out. Damian and I have been mates for a few years but it's only been in the last 12 months or so that I have really got to know Damian. He's very good value. Damian and I chat about photography, cameras, film, life and loads of other shit. I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I enjoyed recording it!

Hi and welcome to Episode 12 of Photographer Stories. This episode I chat to a chap in Toronto, Canada that you probably know and if you don't know him you should. His name is Bob Smith aka notraces. You may have seen a photo or two of two of his daughters Mae and Leah on either Flickr or Instagram. I chat to Bob about his history with photography, he's been doing it a while. We also chat about cameras, film and loads of other shit. Bob talks about his new project about reconnecting with people and improving his handwriting called Text Less Write More which I think is a really cool idea, check it out. I hope you enjoy listening to it! Cheers! MRJ.

This is episode 11 of Photographer Stories. This episode I chat to a guy I met online, we couldn't work out if it was Twitter, Flickr or Instagram, I think it was Instagram but he thinks Flickr. His name is Kristoffer Paulsen. Kris is a photographer here in Melbourne and he invited me over to his new studio space so I could chat to him and so he could take my portrait with his new favourite lighting setup. We ate Pizza and talked about the usual shit, photography, photographers, cameras, asshole gig photographers and lots of other shit. We discovered through the podcast that he also used to work for AWB in Sydney so we chat about that a bit also, sorry, it's a small country. Enjoy! MRJ

This is episode #10 of Photographer Stories. This episode I chat to my very good friend Michael James Christian. I have known Mike since about 2009, one of the first things we did together was visit this abandoned carpark, unfortunately at the time I was shooting with a crappy fisheye lens on a crappy digital camera so I apologise for that, there are some cool film shots to make up for it. Mike also enjoys taking photos of bands and we refer to this image quite a bit, mostly because it was right in front of us, was it a prop? maybe. Michael also mentions his collaborative music project called "A Warm Cup of Assholes", check it out, it's funny. As per usual we chat about cameras, photographers, gear and other shot. I left that typo in because of Mike's kiwi excent. I hope you enjoy it! Cheers, MRJ.

Hi. This is episode #9 of Photographer Stories. This episode I talk to a guy I know called James Ruff. I know James through a film shooters group here in Melbourne called the Melbourne Silver Mine, I may have mentioned them once or twice or eleven times in the podcast. James and I chat about his history with photography, cameras that he has owned and cameras that he wants to own. We also chat in depth about his recent adventure into the Outback with far too many cameras. I had some microphone interference near the end so the last 10 minutes or so are a bit shit. I hope you enjoy it anyway! Cheers, MRJ.

Photographer Stories #9: James Ruff 28/09/2014

Hi and welcome to episode #8 of Photographers Stories. This episode almost didn’t happen, my audio files became corrupt, but I managed to recover quite a few of them. This episode I talk to a photographer I know called Andrew Wuttke, he’s a real photographer and by that I mean his primary source of income is from photography. He’s good too. We talked about his history with photography, what he shoots, who he shoots for and how much he loves doing it. What you don’t get to hear was also good. He said “Nobody is going to ask you to go to the desert and shoot Kate Moss, you have to make it happen”. Oh and he uses Mac and PCs – revalationary! I hope you enjoy it. Cheers, MRJ.

Hi! This is episode #7 of Photographer Stories. This episode I speak with James Pierce. I have known James or at least known of James since about 2001. Back in the day, when you searched for/lusted after the Hasselblad Xpan online, you got James, one other guy and Hasselblad. James was heavily involved with a website you may have heard of called Red Bubble. We chatted about Red Bubble, photography, cameras and other shit. James tries (and it still trying) to get me to buy a "proper" large format camera. We talk about shooting large format, really large prints and largely, a lot of things photographic. I hope you enjoy it! Cheers, MRJ.

Photographer Stories #7: James Pierce 08/09/2014

Each episode I will be chatting to a photographer/someone who takes photos/someone in the photographic industry about photography, photographers, photos, gear, life and other shit.
