Episode 1: Michael Chapman

In this episode, I talk to my friend, photographer Michael Chapman. We talk about knowing when to make the leap to a creative freelance career from a stable office job, how to make people feel chilled when you're taking their photos, meeting people off of Twitter, trying to convince people your work is worth paying for, turning down jobs with the 'alt-right', the branch of Leon where the servers sing, and what emoji Michael would be if he was an emoji. Michael's website is www.mjchapman.co.uk He tweets at @mjc_photography Who we talked about: Leah Vernon - www.beautyandthemuse.net - @leahjvernon Jennifer Tighe - @tighe_er Martin Chivers - @Finnbarm Travis Alabanza - @travisalabanza Dom Falquero - @errorfied

Om Podcasten

I read a memoir written by a friend last year, and as I was reading it I realised I wish all my friends wrote memoirs, not just the well-known ones. I know so many interesting people who have had interesting experiences or made interesting decisions, and I want a legitimate excuse to know all about them. So here is Hello Friend, a podcast that enables me to ask questions of the great people in my life and share their brilliance with the world. Or at least the listeners of this podcast.
