October 2025 - Photography Online Podcast

On this month’s podcast, Ruth, Marcus and special guest Chris Sale check out the late Pope’s one-of-a-kind Leica which is up for auction, discuss the new time limits being imposed on photographers in Chinese hotspots and try and figure out why photojournalists at a major UK newspaper are unhappy. We decide if being an “award-winning” photographer is actually of any merit and we look at a more gear releases including the photo bag which doubles up as a table!
