Fun interview. He’s awesome. iPhones really help you concentrate on composition as there’s hardly any settings to worry about

Thank you lovely! Glad you enjoyed it! Yes it really is so stripped back in terms of functions so you’ve gotta focus on subject and comp to get a good shot! Love Dave’s work! Thanks for reading 👋🏻🙏🏻

Great interview, I stumbled upon Dave’s work via Tum from @apertureboughtmehere on instagram. That’s awesome about the album cover! Well done Dave! 👏

Thanks Alison, glad you found it a decent read! Tum is great and really prolific with getting his zines out there. I think I heard him recently say he’s put something like five out just in the last year

Yeah, he makes incredible zines! And he’s awesome editing in Snapseed on his phone. I’m also only using my iPhone at the moment, but fluctuating between colour and black and white, and documenting my expat Australian life in Switzerland. I’m hoping to put out some mini zines soon.

Great, will be fun to see how they turn out!

I really enjoyed the issue 37 lots. But I personally actually love the post processing contrary to your guest because my camera was often purposed at fineart painting other than being a diary of things I did. Not AI or childish resistance to a way or process  but conceptual expression where anything is a tool. In fact I played around with different arty poster expressions (think success of Marilyn Munro and Che Guavera images to this day and forever -sorry didn't check spelling ) of your "RESURRECTION" rough copy which I haven't shown to anyone as I thought of showing you first and then giving it to you for your own use, maybe using some ideas for commercial purposes. However I realized you are focused elsewhere and so back to topic. My view is not just graphic, because on the wall it must either be a window to a beautiful scene or else it must be an image IN WHICH I CAN PLACE MY OWN story otherwise it cannot in any way connect to me personally, hence the success of example your drive in tray and car photo. But I don't want to see something like a dirty dumpster or rubbish heap. Most ols iconic photos are exactly successful because "my own story" is drawn into the picture. Food for thought.

Thanks for reading Johan & for the interesting insight into your own practice. Love hearing other photographers talk about the elements that they consider really valuable to their own vision and process
