The Compact Camera Podcast: Recent Episodes
Robert Law
Join us for a compact, easily digestible chat about contemporary photography in Wales, the UK and beyond. Think of it as a chat with a photo-friend over a coffee! Focussing mainly on documentary photography, we outline calls for entry, new photo books, exhibitions and have a chat with one of our photo-buddies in each carefully-packaged podcast that won't have you committed for the length of a feature film.
We're keeping this episode in line with the title! But we have a fantastic interview for you with the talented Joanne Coates.

Lockdown's biting, so we look at how Natalie Ball is trying to make things better, particularly for people with mental health struggles. Her project is called My Camera, My Therapy.
And we talk to US photojournalist, John Sevigny, about his work in Central America and the wider issue of consent and ethics within photography.
