What is your name? 

Brian Russell

When did you begin listening to The Candid Frame? 

Around two months ago, working my way through the back episodes though!

How long have you been shooting and what inspired your interest in photography?  I’ve had two stints with photography. Around 20 years ago I did a photography course at the local college, producing my own black & white prints, even made my own developer (Pyro!). Fast forward a few years & photography fell by the wayside & I stopped shooting so much. After using a D90 casually to capture family photos, I’ve had my passion for the subject reignited. So I’m still very much the amateur with loads to learn. Despite the large gap in practice, I never really stopped seeing photographically and it’s this that inspires me. For me photography isn’t just about making the images, it’s far more about how to see. I’m a software architect by trade, but despite shiny gadget-lust it’s the artistic aspect of photography that attracts me.

Do you have a preferred genre or specialty of photography? I’ll cheat & say Travel, which can encompasses street, people, landscape, architecture
