We’re switching gears on the show today and going outside our portrait boxes. With the resurgence of Street Photography around the world we felt that it was a great opportunity to have a guest who’s dedication and passion to the topic was all in. Gardner Hamilton is truly a man who is educated and very invested in the genre. A wedding photographer of over 25 years and always a man to travel and shoot on the streets, Gardner brought so much more to the show than I could have ever imagined. I had first seen Gardners’ name on an ISPWP contest winners page and then more prominently when I joined the growing Blackandwhitestreet.com website, where he is the founder and one of the curators.

His wealth of knowledge in photography was truly humbling and Kelly and I had a tonnes of “ah ha!” moments. It’s great to listen to a man like this and I left our conversation with some serious questions about my own shooting and education.

Kelly and I will be the first to admit that we didn’t fully understand the genre and how important it is to photography, but we left the conversation with several great ideas on how to integrate street photography into our wedding and portrit sessions.

Enjoy the episode and although Kelly and I made a mess of it, Gardner cleaned it up!lol
