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.
Most photography communities are built on fake positivity, empty praise, and ego-stroking. That’s not what we do here. The Dare Photography Community is about real growth, real accountability, and real support—and that means no people-pleasing.
In this episode, I break down:
📸 Why coddling photographers holds them back
📸 The difference between tough love and just being horrid
📸 How the industry pushes false hope instead of real progress
📸 Why I refuse to dilute the learning process for comfort’s sake
📸 How to get honest about your work (even when it stings)
This community isn’t for everyone—and that’s the point. If you want to be told your work is great no matter what, go to Instagram. But if you’re ready to push yourself, stop seeking approval, and start making real progress, this episode is for you.
