Episode 91 - Kevin Fickling

Kevin Fickling is an American photographer, producer and craftsman. He wears many hats and our chat covers how he got into stills photography by way of video, some lenses he’s shared with the world that are now being used in big name productions and we even treat ourselves to the shutter sound of one of his favourite cameras. It’s a treat to sit down with someone who has such interesting creative ideas and is working with clients to bring unusual ways of seeing to life. He’s helping them to take creative risks and I think that it’s paying off in his imagery. This is a lovely chat and hopefully the first of many.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.
