The Archipelago Podcast

45 conversations about the craft.

From 2020 to 2022 I hosted the Archipelago Photography Podcast — 45 episodes of conversations with photographers I admire, from around the world. Documentary photographers, portrait artists, street shooters, educators, and business minds. Each episode was a chance to go deep on craft, process, and what it actually means to make a life behind a lens.

The podcast is no longer active, but the episodes are all still here — and still worth your time. Browse below or find us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

Notable guests included

Joe McNally, Peter Hurley, Alex Stoddard, Adam Ferguson, Gulnara Samoilova, Lori Grace Bailey, David Ulrich, Matt Carr, and many more — photographers working at the highest levels of the industry, worldwide.

The podcast is on pause, but the work continues. I'm now focused full-time on portrait and headshot sessions in Ottawa & Gatineau — bringing the same curiosity and craft to every session that drove these conversations.
