An off-the-wall, disruptive, street and portrait photography podcast hosted by Gary Lashmar, aka the Street Thief from East London, UK. We’re creating, we’re disrupting, we’re clicking, and we’re putting the world to rights. A podcast that keeps it real and asks questions that no other photography podcasts do. Fires arrows at industry nonsense. With a tilt toward street photography, leaving no stone unturned.
In this episode
Most photographers don’t actually want to get better—they just want to feel like they’re getting better. And that’s the problem. The comfort zone is where your dreams go to die.
Photography growth isn’t about mastering composition, finding the best lens, or chasing the perfect preset. The hardest part of improving is admitting you’ve been full of sh*t.
In this episode, I pull the carpet out from under you. We’ll talk about:
🔥 Why most photographers are stuck in a trance—repeating the same habits and mistaking comfort for growth.
🔥 How a lot of what is out there online keeps you sedated—feeding you validation instead of real challenges.
🔥 The illusion of progress—how watching tutorials, buying gear, and playing it safe keep you stuck.
🔥 The only real way forward—embracing discomfort, breaking habits, and waking the f*ck up.
Most people run from the harsh reality. Will you?
