In this episode, I speak with Photographer, ceramicist, digital artist and sculptor, Annie Holland, who for over twenty years has been photographing the wonderful, the absurd and beautiful images of people, places and their daily lives worldwide. she tends to venture down the road less travelled, and years ago ended up in Japan, where her passion for photography really began. After a few years working as a freelance photographer, she returned to Ireland and set up sher own studio in 2000. She shoots both stills and video in a clear composed style which can then be edited into short movies to further tell a story.
We discuss the place of image in documenting memories, of creating sustainable futures with Art across generations, drawing attention to and listening for what's worthwhile, dancing in the museums and the textures of art, close-up, working with empowering kids to ask for what they need, environmental hazards of music festivals, exploring what it means to value and support your creative vision with grants, professionalism, and other people's opinions, and the long memories of those whose stories need a voice, still. The work that never ends, and appreciation of what's rare or unnoticed.
