Finding Focus

Author: Christina Webber

Finding Focus is a series of informal conversations attempting to reveal the processes of contemporary photographers in Scotland today. The aim of these discussions is to go some way toward demystifying the creative industries, providing an exploration of the bits of photography that you don't often hear about in ticketed artist talks - how to talk about your work, stay motivated, meet other artists, look after yourself, build community and make money along the way. Plus plenty of tangents! Each photographer will also go into a bit of detail about a project that I ask them to introduce.

6 | Dave Ferrie on 'The River isn't Yellow in Winter'
Episode 6
Friday, 4 September, 2020

In this episode (recorded in January) I talk to Dave Ferrie ahead of completing his recently self-published book: The River isn't Yellow in Winter. We discuss the tension between man-made spaces and nature, photographing China, his shift into colour photography, and pit the experience of a photo book against that of an exhibition. You can buy the book and stalk Dave online here. A note on audio: apologies - I'm aware of the problems with background noise during the interviews and will record future episodes in a quieter environment. Hopefully for now it can be a nice bit of pub ASMR for everyone in lockdown! For those with hearing impairments, or for anyone who wants visuals to accompany this chat, this episode is available as a subtitled video on Youtube here. A word of warning: all episodes will more than likely contain swearing, this is part of the informal nature of these dialogues. Please take this into account if explicit language is likely to offend.
