The Dare Photography Podcast EP 32 - Want Freedom? Stop Chasing Comfort—and Yes, Street Photography’s Kinda Exploitative
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, "Want freedom? Think it’s all about doing whatever you want whenever you want? Think again," Gary drops some truth bombs about how that’s not freedom—it’s just being a slave to comfort. He digs into how being gregarious of spirit is actually the secret sauce to getting the public on your side when you’re shooting street photography. Spoiler alert: it’s not all smiles and happy snaps.
Plus, Clips of the Week is back with Katie, where Gary hilariously explains why a spa break is just his version of a stress test. This episode is disruptive, creatively inspiring, and full of near-the-mark humor, served with a side of sarcasm.
So, grab your camera and listen up, because this episode will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about freedom—and street photography.
Expect a mix of raw, unfiltered banter, near-the-knuckle humor, and plenty of holiday cheer—all wrapped up in the punk rock spirit of photography. This one’s for anyone who loves a good laugh, a creative kickstart, and a side of Christmas chaos.
