What is your name?
Harry Guinness.
What sort of photography do you do?
I like to take shots of interesting people. I've worked with a lot of Dublin's street performers. I'm also doing a personal series of portraits of Dublin's homeless. I've also got another personal project working with bodybuilders while they work out. Having said that, I generally try to have my camera with me wherever I am so I shoot landscapes when the opportunity presents itself.
How long have you been shooting?
About two years.
What's your favorite piece of gear? (for example, Lens, Bag, Camera, Tripod, anything you really love to work with)
I love my Canon 40mm lens. It's so small that it adds no noticeable weight to my camera and it's so versatile. Especially for the street stuff, I can get in really tight for portraits or go wide for more environmental shots and it just nails it.
I'd also be remiss if I didn't mention my love for Peak Design and Triggertrap. The leash and cuff are the best straps imaginable. I generally just use the cuff and have my camera in hand when I'm walking about the city. Triggertrap's mobile dongle is a hell of a lot of fun.

Week 44 - Tara
What is your name?
Tara Sutherland
What sort of photography do you do?
Underwater and Landscape.
How long have you been shooting?
Just over 10 years.
What's your favorite piece of gear? (for example, Lens, Bag, Camera, Tripod, anything you really love to work with)
I don’t think I do have a favourite right now. All my gear is loved equally although I do take a lot of pleasure from putting together my underwater rig and having it nestled in its box all ready to get wet.

I live in New Zealand - in the North Island. My country is probably the reason I got in to photography as our scenery just begs to be documented (and I can’t draw to save myself!)

Week 43 - Robert
What is your name?
Robert Catto.
What sort of photography do you do?
I’m a freelance photographer specialising in performing arts and live events. I used to be a lighting designer for theatre, dance, opera etc - so I fell into photography from there, after trying to build a portfolio of my own work for myself.
How long have you been shooting?
At all? Since about 1989 when my dad gave me his old Canon FT-b and a bag of prime lenses to take to university, which I gradually upgraded to a T-90 that came travelling with me in 1996. Professionally, full time since 2002.
What's your favorite piece of gear? (for example, Lens, Bag, Camera, Tripod, anything you really love to work with)
I’m pretty in love with my Fuji X-Pro 1 kit (18/35/60mm lenses included) - it brings back some of the simplicity of that first camera I got handed down to me.

Week 42 - John
What is your name?
John Lechner, I am also known as John Vacy or ESJ, the ESJ relates to my equestrian work. I was known as Eventing Safety John, which got shortened to ESJ and has stuck thats why my business name is ESJ Photo.
What sort of photography do you do?
Until recently my focus had been mostly on Equestrian sport, Eventing in particular with some landscape work also.
But in the last 12 months I have really redefined my work and I would have to say my focus is on travel, landscapes and portraiture. Most important is I love to be outdoors shooting not in a studio.
How long have you been shooting?
I cannot remember a time when I didn't have a camera, there have always been cameras in my life.
What's your favorite piece of gear? (for example, Lens, Bag, Camera, Tripod, anything you really love to work with)
My favourite is without doubt my Nikon D800, I carry it with me everywhere. It is just a beautiful piece of kit.
I am a gadget person though, I love my bags (I currently have 3 but sold another 3 on eBay 8 weeks ago to de-clutter), my everyday bag is a Tenba messenger which is great but the Peak Design Leash is also the most versatile camera strap I have ever used.
Where can we find you? Twitter account/s, blogs, galleries, any and all web presence that you feel comfortable sharing.
My website is esjphoto.com.au I have a personal twitter @johnvacy and business @esj_photo.
Where do you live and work? You can be as specific as providing your lat-long coordinates, or as vague as "planet earth".
I live in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales in Australia, about 2 hours north of Sydney. This is my home but I never feel settled unless I am travelling. I just spent a month in the USA on a family holiday. I have trips to Cambodia plus Amsterdam and Iceland planned for 2014, these trips are purely photography.

Week 40 - Gilbert
What is your name?
Gilbert Potts.
What sort of photography do you do?
Digital snapshots and fully manual. I like depth compression textural street photography without humans and animals. Minimalism but more in terms of limiting the number of colours and shapes. My ideal pic has three or less colours and one or two shapes. Greatly inspired by the art of Jeffrey Smart and the visual design of Jaques Tati.
How long have you been shooting?
32 years.
What's your favorite piece of gear? (for example, Lens, Bag, Camera, Tripod, anything you really love to work with)
My brain. Any camera.
