Leave it for at least 30 years with Martin Ellard

It’s Christmas Eve so what better time than now to send over a lovely midweek episode. This week I sat down with Martin Ellard, a photographer form South Wales who is a listener to the show and was kind enough to send me a couple of zines he made of work. They’re fascinating and I couldn’t pass up the chance to talk to him about them. So here’s me chatting with Martin.

More about this show:

A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you’ll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth. Prime Lenses is a series of interviews with photographers talking about their photography by way of three lenses that mean a lot to them. These can be interchangeable, attached to a camera, integrated into a gadget, I’m interested in the sometimes complex relationship we have with the tools we choose, why they can mean so much and how they make us feel.
