Episode 08: Vicky Grout

from Making Conversation with Grant Brydon · host Grant Brydon

For this episode I spoke to photographer Vicky Grout.  Vicky is known for her documentation of London’s music scene through portraits that capture her subjects relaxed and full of character. She’s shot a diverse range of artists from both sides of the Atlantic including Stormzy, Jorja Smith, Smino, Doja Cat, Amine, slowthai, Virgil Abloh and Joe Kay.  We discuss her career so far; from her first experiences taking photos to working with brands like Nike and shooting that infamous photo of Skepta during a party at Ace Hotel. She speaks on everything from being self-taught, to photo etiquette and why it’s been important for her not to be pigeonholed. ---------- My debut book, "Life Lessons from Hip-Hop" is available now: geni.us/LifeLessonsFromHipHop ---------- @VickyGrout @GrantBrydon ---------- Artwork by @smithsmithsmithsmith Recorded at Keakie.co.uk Music by @kiina_dd
