This episode of Depth Of Focus is a little different. We're not chatting to a photographer per se. Or tho, he does dabble. An artist in his own right, we have vocalist and my good friend Cameron Humprey's from Love Is Noise.

Cam and I talk about a wide range of subjects from LIN's first album release "To Live In A Different Way." How it's been received, thoughts on the process, and how it was conceived. To, inspirations, lyrics, creative outlets, and staying relevant in the music industry. We also touch upon human connection and AI.

I hope you enjoy the conversation.....

In this episode of Depth Of Focus, I'm chatting with Oscar Dziedziela. A music, tour & portrait photographer from Sweden. His work strikes emotion, a feeling, a presence of involvement. Shooting both digital & film.

Oscar talks about his struggles with developing while on tour. Films & other formats that help him with inspiration and creativity. Social media and the frustrations that come with the platform.

If you're not familiar with Oscar's work, definitely take some time to check it out at the links below.

I really like that Oscar has taken an old template of documenting and has implemented it into a world that wants everything yesterday. It's not by any means something that has stopped entirely within the music industry. It's more that Oscar has the balls to go out and do it. Especially on tour!

I hope you enjoy the conversation....

In this episode, I'm talking with Jay Villacci — a Documentary & editorial photographer who is a second generation Italian immigrant, currently living in London. His work documents the feelings of Abandonment, Identity and Nationalism. Primarily shooting in medium format with his trusted Pentax 67.

Jay talks about his feeling towards identity and how he has a sense of not belonging. Which he then uses as a strength with his work. You heard a little excerpt about it at the start of this episode, but we talk about the fundamentals and importance of knowing where we come from.

We talk about his book "Alienation" a year long project about abandonment & a sense of entrapment prevalent within our British Identity.

"This project explores the relationship between the physical island we call home and us inhabitants, how we interact with it and how we have alienated ourselves through the structure of society." - Jay Villacci

If you're not familiar with Jay's work, definitely take some time to check it out at the links below.

You can also find a link to his book 'Alienation'.

I love Jay's passion for identity and how we should all get back in touch with our surroundings. I hope you enjoy the talk.
