Today's host, Oli Sansom, a talented photographer and educator from Melbourne, chats with Ian Weldon, a musician turned into a photographer, knighted by Martin Parr himself. Ian's passion is to create historical documents for future generations to help them relate to the world as it was back then. By taking one glance at his work, you'll immediately understand why his approach is so particular within the industry. He challenges the familiar images we repeatedly see on our screens and the notion of what is considered “beautiful”. He's a strong believer in creating things that stand the test of time, which implies practicing resilience, but also being comfortable with failure. We hope this episode inspires and gives you a raw perspective on your creative work. It's always good to be challenged on something we do on autopilot.
