Stacy is an award winning photographer and Scott has been fortunate to meet and talk to her in person. Find out more about the moving stories from Stacy in this NYT Lens article: https://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/05/15/still-shooting-after-the-end-of-war/. Please also take a look at Stacy’s fantastic Veterans Portrait Project here: http://stacypearsall.com. Stacy has also written the book: “A Photojournalist’s Field Guide – In the trenches with Stacy Pearsall” that you can get here: bhpho.to/2kCevci
- Here is the link to the “Inspiration & ideas for photo projects in 2017” episode, that Marco mentioned: https://photofocus.com/2017/01/14/photofocus-podcast-january-14-2017-inspiration-with-scott-bourne-marco-larousse/
- Scott shares the interesting things and inspiration that he saw at WPPI 2017 in Las Vegas.
- Triggered by a listener question about the “religion of shallow depth of field and bokeh” Scott and Marco discuss the different aspects and reasons why one should or should not use fast lenses and when to shoot them wide open and when not to do that.
- Marco explains how he takes advantage of the two stops aperture advantage between the Fuji XF 14mm f2.8 vs. the Fuji XF 16mm f1.4 lens.
- Marco’s photo book of the month pick is: GENESIS by Sebastião Salgado. This short quote by Sebastião describes what this beautiful 520 pages book is all about: “In GENESIS, my camera allowed nature to speak to me. And it was my privilege to listen.” https://www.taschen.com/pages/en/catalogue/photography/all/05767/facts.sebastio_salgado_genesis.htm
