Listen "Photopocene with Jonathan Straight - Episode 12 - sharing eco-conscious photo art in an audio way"
Episode Synopsis
I'm joined on this episode by street and documentary photographer, Jonathan Straight.
Jonathan doesn't specifically use his photography to raise awareness of environmental issues (his day job is heavily related to things such as water resources and waste management) but his topics do reflect or connect to them.
We chat about his latest photo book Vegans in Iceland. It's a great insight into the country, its vegans, and discussions around the benefit of a plant-based diet.
We also chat about the ethics of street photography, how Jonathan gets so close to his subjects and how, on occasion, he has remained in touch with some of them like the woman from Russia who he still meets occasionally for a coffee since their random meeting on a London street some years ago.
