Andrew Baer on Discovering His Father’s Lost Photo Archive
What happens when you discover thousands of photographs your father made decades ago, including images you never knew existed? In this episode, Ashley Riffo and Bob Patterson talk with Andrew Baer about the remarkable story behind the work of his father, photographer John Baer. Andrew shares how four boxes of prints and negatives sat with him for 27 years before he and his wife, Megan, began uncovering what was inside. We talk about the years of scanning, research and detective work that followed, the extraordinary team that helped bring John’s photographs into book form, and what Andrew learned about his father along the way. We also hear about the creation of the John Baer Archive and Andrew’s hope that these photographs will continue to inspire new stories, art and interpretations for years to come.

John Rosenmiller on Cuba, Self-Editing and Becoming a Better Photographer
John Rosenmiller didn't set out to become a photographer. In fact, it wasn't until later in life that he realized something was missing: he'd done a lot of things, but he'd never done anything purely creative. Photography changed that. And Cuba gave him a place to explore it. In this conversation, John joins Street Photography Magazine's Bob Patterson and Ashley Riffo to talk about the many trips that have taken him deep into Cuban life and eventually led to his striking Carboneros de Cuba series. When John first arrived in Havana, its chaos, characters and raw energy reminded him of the New York he knew in the 1970s and '80s. He kept going back, building relationships, following his curiosity and learning photography along the way. Upon seeing his photos one photographer wrote in to tell us, “This is more than good, this is a labor of love.” John is refreshingly candid about that learning process. He talks about the years it took him to feel comfortable calling himself a photographer, why realizing his early work wasn't very good actually helped him improve, and why photographers should be ruthless about what they choose to show. We also dig into how he creates his nighttime portraits with surprisingly simple lighting, the value of honest criticism, photographing people without turning them into a performance, and the personal rules he follows when deciding whether a photograph should be made at all. But some of the most interesting parts of this conversation aren't really about photography. John talks about what years of returning to Cuba have taught him about people, generosity and community, and how a search for creative fulfillment became something much bigger than he expected.

James Choi: What Street Photographers Can Learn from an Independent Filmmaker
What can street photographers learn from an independent filmmaker? Quite a lot, it turns out. In this episode of the Street Photography Magazine Podcast, we sit down with filmmaker and professor James Choi, whose recent return to South Korea after nearly five decades inspired both a feature film and a striking body of street photography. Discovered through Trope Publishing, James brings a unique perspective to photography, one shaped by years of visual storytelling through cinema. We talked about how filmmaking and street photography overlap, why simplicity often leads to stronger work (and why keeping things simple can be a challenge), and how creative limitations can become your greatest advantage. Along the way, James shares thoughtful insights on: • Returning to his birthplace after 46 years • Photographing the feeling of a place rather than simply documenting it • Why authentic art requires vulnerability • How simplifying your gear and your process can help you grow faster • Lessons filmmakers and photographers can learn from one another • Independent film recommendations that every visual storyteller should see

Kantaya New on Balancing Street & Conceptual Photography
Watch on YouTube This month’s podcast guest might surprise you. Most street photographers thrive on unpredictability. They head out with a camera, trust their instincts, and let the world unfold in front of them. Kantaya New does that. She also spends days, sometimes weeks, carefully planning conceptual photographs where every element is intentional. On paper, those two approaches couldn’t be more different. But as you’ll hear in this conversation, each one has made her better at the other. Kantaya, who is also a newly minted X-Creator with Fujifilm, joins Bob Patterson and me to talk about balancing street photography with conceptual work, using humor to explore serious subjects, and why some of her most personal projects have resonated with complete strangers. One of my favorite moments is hearing how her husband became the reluctant star of her ongoing series A Modern Day Affair, and the lengths she has to go to keep him motivated during shoots. If you’re looking for a conversation about creativity, curiosity, and finding your own voice as a photographer, I think you’ll really enjoy this one.

Sandra Cattaneo Adorno: You Have More Potential Than You Think
When Sandra Catanio Adorno picked up a camera for the first time, she was 60 years old. She had no photography background, no formal training, and by her own admission, took "horrible" photographs at first. But a workshop with Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb sparked something that would completely reshape the way she experienced the world. Today, Sandra is an internationally recognized street photographer, the author of four acclaimed photobooks, and the creator of a stunning solo exhibition at the 61st Venice Biennale. Before we even began recording, Sandra insisted on giving me a tour of her exhibition. As she walked through shimmering silver prints, a fragmented mosaic, and fabric installations overlooking the canals of Venice, it became clear that her work isn't just about photographs. It's about curiosity, experimentation, and inviting people to see familiar things in new ways. In this conversation, we talk about discovering creativity later in life, collaborating with artists and publishers, new ways of seeing, and why Sandra believes we all have far more potential than we realize. Whether you've been making photographs for decades or are still waiting for the "right time" to begin, Sandra's story is a reminder that it's never too late to discover something that changes your life.

The Making of a Photo Book Course
Creating a photo book taught us far more than we ever expected. Creating a course about it taught us even more. In this episode, Bob Patterson interviews Street Photography Magazine publisher Ashley Riffo about the making of our new self-publishing photo book course. We talk about why the course exists, some of the challenges of book making & course making, the lessons we learned from publishing "Where the Streets Lead", and what we'd do differently next time. Along the way, Bob shares what he's been up to since retiring as SPM's publisher, offering up stories from his recent trip to Japan, a glimpse into his new Substack, "Beyond Street Photography", and reflections on creating a personal travel zine. We also share thoughtful feedback and advice from a few photographers who have self-published books includeing Craig Litten, Debby Cole, and Wayne Campbell. They all agree: Self-publishing a book is a lot of hard work, but totally worth it. If making a photo book has been sitting on your "someday" list, this conversation is for you.
