EP 60 - Ranting hot + questions are answered | making money from photography + zine making
Welcome back to The Dare Photography Podcast — the world’s most disruptive photography podcast. Probably.
In this episode, Gary Lashmar (aka The Street Thief, The Smudge with a Grudge, and The Johnny Cash of Street Photography) answers the raw, uncomfortable, and often hilarious questions photographers are too afraid to ask in public.
Is there real money in street photography, or is it all smoke, mirrors, and Instagram likes? What does it actually take to build a zine that feels like you? And are most people just hiding behind “ethics” because they’re scared to take the shot?
From photographing famous faces like The Libertines and Rob Beckett, to dissecting the myths of creative success, Gary brings 16 years of street grit, hard-earned wisdom, and no-nonsense guidance.
If you’ve ever wrestled with fear, fame, ethics, or Photoshop layers at 3AM — this one’s for you.
