Prime Lenses Episode 43 - Arun Venkatesan

My guest this week is Arun Venkatesan, a photographer, engineer and designer based in the US who writes a really interesting blog about design and occasionally photos and image making. He has recently written about Leica’s font and a friend passed this on to me. I really enjoyed his writing and decided to see if I could get him on the show. He said yes and I’m delighted to share this conversation with you all.

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.
