About This Podcast
Photography stuff explained in plain English by me, Rick, in less than 27(ish) minutes without the irrelevant details.
I explain one photographic thing per episode, providing just enough information to help you understand it, improve your photography and take better photos, all without delving into endless, irrelevant details.
I am a professionally qualified photographer based in the UK and amongst other things I help photographers take better photos.
