68: This is Ang Waterton - a podcast by Alan Law

A real pleasure to chat to the fab Ang Waterton for episode 68 of the Podcast today! This is a Podcast from one Cornwall to another, as Ang is based in Cornwall, Canada (whereas I'm in Cornwall in the UK). A brilliant wedding and family photographer, Ang recently won 3 Family Story Awards in a single Collection - something that we talk about on the episode, as well as many other things, including:

her tips for people just starting out as a documentary family photographer, trans-Atlantic relationships, her journey from teacher to photographer, her profound hatred of socks, the importance of taking on legacy work for her clients, our Netflix synopsis game, and so much more...

Before we get on to Ang, just a few little mentions about some upcoming events:

On Friday 19th March at 11am GMT we're doing a Facebook Live with the fab Yves Schepers, who was our TiR Photographer of the Year 2020. He'll be telling us how he captured each and every one of his 20 Reportage Awards from that year - should be really, really interesting, and fun too!

Be great if you want to watch live, and ask Yves any questions. It will be on our public FB page, which you can find at https://www.facebook.com/thisisreportage - and if you can't make it live, it will be available to watch exclusively for TiR members afterwards.

Then, on Monday 22nd March at 1pm GMT, we're doing our very first Clubhouse chat! I'm going to be joined by this very lovely and talented three: Sanne De Block, Louise van den Broek & Dave Scholes (all of whom have actually been on the Podcast before, as well).

We're going to be talking about the mistakes we made (and other horror stories) - whether that's from a wedding, a family shoot, business, or just a general 'life' mistake.

It would be great if you wanted to join us, listen in, ask any questions or - even better! - share your own mistakes with us. You can find us on Clubhouse at https://www.joinclubhouse.com/club/this-is-reportage - should be fun!
