010 - Peter Dench
©Peter Dench/Getty Images Reportage
Peter Dench has 20 years of experience as an editorial photographer, shooting documentary features, portraits, and advertising jobs, as well as turning his hand to video, writing, podcasting and being co-creative director of the White Cloth Gallery in Leeds, which he co-founded. Although he has worked in over 60 different countries, he is perhaps best known for documenting various aspects of English life in his own inimitable, irreverent style.
He has won numerous awards and has published 4 books, 3 of them in the past 12 months: England Uncensored, A&E: Alcohol and England, The British Abroad and, most recently, Dench Does Dallas, in which he sought to make a break from the work on England by turning his attention to the USA.
In episode 010, Peter discusses:
The Dench Does Dallas project
Internal dialogues
The English and alcohol
The seaside as an influence for humour
The advantages of unemployment
Getting a bit lost amidst the digital revolution
Funding books with the help of Twitter
“A typical day I will laugh out loud through sheer delight, I’ll get depressed, morose, but that’s the joy of photography - it can deliver spontaneous highs and a lot of lows and rarely is it in between, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
