Episode 88 - Ray Di Pietro

Ray Di Pietro is a working photojournalist based in Nashville. From political candidates to protests, street scenes to t-shirts he shoots it all. I found him almost by accident when searching on Instagram and was struck by his style and felt like we’d get on. I was proved right by this wonderful conversation which I think you’ll all enjoy and which starts and finishes with Ray’s attire which compliments the way he shows up every day.

Some conversations with new guests are like long chat with an old friend and this is most definitely one of those. I would drop everything to sit down with Davide again over a coffee in a heartbeat. I hope you enjoy this chat with Davide.

In the episode we talk about Alice Longstaff’s photos and you can find out more about her by listening to a previous episode. I couldn’t find the Red Square photographer unfortunately.

More about this show:

A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you’ll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth. Prime Lenses is a series of interviews with photographers talking about their photography by way of three lenses that mean a lot to them. These can be interchangeable, attached to a camera, integrated into a gadget, I’m interested in the sometimes complex relationship we have with the tools we choose, why they can mean so much and how they make us feel.
