Episode 77 - Silvergrain Classics

My guests today are Charys Schuler and Marwan El Mozayen from Silvergrain Classics. In an age of AI and digital consumption on ever increasing numbers of screens, they are charting a path in the opposite direction. Analogue photography of all kinds is celebrated every quarter in their beautiful magazine which they produce in Germany and send around the world. They are also half of a new company Silver Bridges, helping to bring back the wonderful Widelux camera, a favourite of many photographers and in particular loved by Jeff Bridges, yes, that Jeff Bridges.

More about this show:

A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you’ll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth. Prime Lenses is a series of interviews with photographers talking about their photography by way of three lenses that mean a lot to them. These can be interchangeable, attached to a camera, integrated into a gadget, I’m interested in the sometimes complex relationship we have with the tools we choose, why they can mean so much and how they make us feel.
