For the second episode of the podcast, I chat with Paris based street and documentary photographer Valentine de Villemeur.

We talk about Valentine's love of film photography and the darkroom printing process and about her time studying at the Speos Photography School in Paris. We also discuss her experiences of shooting in different cities across Europe and whether the long history of street photography in Paris makes it the most challenging city to photograph. We also cover her experiences of exhibiting her work in exhibitions and if competitions are still a valuable way to get feedback on your work. We also talk influences, the impact of imposter syndrome, publishing, advice for new street photographer's and much more.

You can catch up with Valentine and view her work on social media and through her website where she also has prints for sale.
