The BAAM Podcast Is Back With New Zealand Based Architectural Photographer Simon Devitt

After a Summer hiatus, the BAAM podcast is back with an extraordinary episode featuring one of my favorite photographers, Simon Devitt. BAAM hosts Barry MacKenzie and Andy Macpherson include a particular treat at the beginning of the episode, which is an incredibly insightful introduction by one of Simon’s clients, architect Paul Owen of Owen Architecture.

Paul kicks things off by discussing the importance of architectural photographs and finding a photographer whose work immortalizes his practice while being a joy to spend time with — i.e. Simon

You can expect to hear Simon touch on great points in this interview such as:

• Gaining knowledge through experience instead of going to university

• Dealing with imposter syndrome

• Being adaptable and open to surprised during a shoot

• Doing things reductively to keep space from looking too forced or staged

• Photographing projects over time

• Hear a bit about Simon’s capture process, approach to lighting, and hiring retouchers

This is a powerful and inspiring episode of the BAAM podcast that will get you fired up to go out and make photographs! You can listen here:
