In this episode of PhotoWalk Talk, hosts Martin and Sandeep welcome professional photographer Paula Smith. They discuss Paula's journey into photography, her experiences as a freelance photographer for 18 years, and the challenges she faces in the evolving photography industry. The conversation touches on the impact of COVID-19 and AI on professional photography, as well as Paula's passion for personal photography, particularly film. They also explore her travel experiences, especially in Japan, and the beauty of capturing moments through photography. In this conversation, the speakers delve into their experiences with photography, particularly focusing on photo walks, the dynamics of participation, and the importance of creating inclusive spaces for photographers. They discuss the challenges faced by female photographers in male-dominated environments and explore innovative features in photography communities that encourage engagement. The conversation also highlights upcoming events, the evolution of photography gear, and offers valuable advice for aspiring photographers navigating the industry.

Martin is quiet for a lot of this episode due to technical problems (he probably won't be missed though)
