### 5/5 — Great conversations with photographers

*2024-07-28*

The interviews also includes links to their work and the last question recommending another photographer’s link.

### 5/5 — Best photography podcast anywhere

*2022-08-04, version 2.5.9*

Since finding Ibarionex podcast I’ve listened to as many episodes as I can, in the hope to catch up on them all! His easy, comfortable and relaxed manor puts his interviewees at ease and every episode feels like a natural conversation with his guest. 
Highly recommend to anyone interested in creativity, especially related to photography and no gadget and jargon talk! Just great creative chat.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2022-05-03, version 2.5.9*

I am so glad that I found this podcast. The interviews are insightful and in-depth and I’m learning about people who I had not heard of as well as some of the better names in the profession.

### 5/5 — A Gem of a Podcast

*2021-08-17, version 2.5.9*

Definitely not a podcast for gear heads. TCF is essentially a deep dive into photographers as artists, story tellers and concepts with the focus on the medium of photography as a method to create and communicate. I dont find every podcast interesting but the ones that I do are pure gold. If you care more about the image than the gear used to make that image, look no further than the candid frame.

### 5/5 — Master and inspire your Photography.

*2021-07-25*

My favorite photographer podcasts all in one place.  Listen to them all and learn.  My preference is to start in 2006 and move forward while simultaneously listening to the newest episode.  There are so so many wonderful nuggets and learnings from almost twenty years ago.  Hearing how photography has changed and transformed over this some span is incredible.  Insights from masters with different perspectives all in one place is very rare.  Enjoy and learn!

### 5/5 — A real boost in a burst of photo joy.

*2021-01-28*

What an enjoyable, informative treasure-trove of unique visions & voices, esp. for photographers. In a calm, positive & gorgeous voice, the host engages each photographer in a way that makes you feel you’re at a table with friends, ready to order another round. Great questions. Each story is individual and can to cover a range - from their childhoods, first jobs, the subjects they love, their current projects, all authentic enough to affirm the listeners’ own weirdness er story and still lavish with survival tips anyone who’s listening very closely.

### 5/5 — Great photography podcast

*2020-11-24, version 2.5.9*

I am enjoying listening to this podcast. The interviews are in depth and the guests rate top notch photographers. Bravo!

### 5/5 — The best photography podcast around

*2020-11-17, version 2.5.9*

Week after week, year after year, wonderful in-depth interviews with a diverse and interesting range of great photographers. Ibarionex Perello always gets the best out of them. My all time favorite is Peter Turnley, and I learned a lot from the recent one with Amy Toensing, as well as those with Cheriss May and Idris Solomon, John Isaac, Barbara Peacock and An Rong Xu ... to name but a few.

### 5/5 — Great content and audio quality

*2020-03-18, version 2.5.9*

Ibarionex Perello has that perfect voice for these podcasts. His articulate and intelligent interviews are exceptional in this world of voices screaming for attention.

### 5/5 — The best photography podcast by a mile.

*2020-03-12, version 2.5.9*

The best photography podcast by a mile.
