Prime Lenses Episode 65 - Nick Rains

My guest this week is Nick Rains. One of the great perks of making this show is getting to sit down for a while with someone whose work you’ve enjoyed. Nick has had a long career that has seen his photographic horizons shift from small terraced houses in Manchester to broad landscapes in countries all over the world. I came across his videos on YouTube and his calm, methodical approach has introduced me and millions of others to many a camera feature or maintenance technique. My clean camera sensor thanks you, Nick.

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.
