Summary: In this episode of the Dare Photography Podcast, Gary Lashmar cuts straight through the romantic nonsense around “free support” and calls out a hard truth: people are more invested when they pay. Drawing on years of running Dare workshops and a large creative community, Gary explains why money sharpens attention, commitment, and willingness — and why so many photographers say they want growth but quietly avoid the discomfort it demands. This is a disruptive, no-bullshit look at why support only works when people are actually supportable . The episode also digs into what Dare really is — tough love, creative responsibility, and learning to drop borrowed reference points so originality has somewhere to come from. Gary talks workshops versus communities, why group work matters, why magic tricks don’t exist, and why being wrong is part of getting better. He also lifts the curtain on what’s coming next: the Dare Patreon, deeper post-production support, live shoots, Zoom sessions, and the launch of ModFace — a new chapter built on 17 years of professional work across street, portraiture, editorial, and brand photography. If this episode makes you uncomfortable, that’s the point. This podcast isn’t here to soothe you — it’s here to challenge you.

This week’s episode is a bit of a firestarter. Gary’s back behind the mic after a few weeks away, talking about what really drives growth — not gear, not technique, but support and accountability. He breaks down why most photographers say they want creative freedom but rarely do what it takes to get there. Why discomfort isn’t the enemy — it’s the signal. And why the Dare Photography Community exists: to help photographers stop hiding behind comfort and finally take the kind of risks that change everything. You’ll hear about: Why overthinking is killing your creativity. How “creating energy” on the street transforms your photography. The difference between wanting it and doing what it takes. Why going it alone doesn’t work — and how support accelerates growth. What the new Dare Photography Facebook community is (and isn’t). How real feedback (not flattery) shapes stronger photographers. This isn’t another social media group — it’s a challenge. A space for honest feedback, fearless work, and genuine creative evolution.

Summary: The Street Thief returns with a full-frame confession: making a photo zine is beautiful chaos. In this episode Gary Lashmar dives into the year-long brawl behind his new zine Smudge —a second-album project haunted by creative procrastination , deadline dodging, and that inner critic that whispers “not good enough.” Gary unpacks the late-night edits, the false starts, and the punk realisation that a photo zine only comes alive when you stop waiting for perfect light and hit print. He riffs on how community keeps you accountable, why fear hides inside “productive stalling,” and how finishing matters more than flawless execution. Whether you’re dreaming up your first photo zine or battling your own creative delays, this episode is your gritty push to finish what you started.

Just back from my fifth trip to New York City , and every time I land there it still feels like I’ve walked onto a giant film set. Maybe it’s a British thing—growing up in the 70s and 80s we didn’t have Hollywood blockbusters of our own. We had gritty “kitchen-sink” realism from directors like Mike Leigh and Ken Loach. Brilliant films, but hardly escapist. For real cinematic magic we looked to American movies — The Godfather , Taxi Driver , Mean Streets , Dog Day Afternoon , Serpico , The Warriors , Rocky —stories that turned New York into myth. Add in the comics I devoured— Batman , Spider-Man , Superman —and the city became a dreamscape of impossible skylines and wild possibility. Walking the streets with a camera in 2025 still hits that same nerve. In Coney Island , the fun-fair rides, neon signs and battered boardwalk feel like they’re waiting for a director to shout “Action!” As a street photographer , I’m not staging anything, but I am composing life as if I’m framing a shot in a film. That’s the thrill: you’re directing without actors, chasing moments where reality and cinema collide. I’ve always said my photography is influenced more by cinema than traditional photography . I grew up watching movies, not poring over photo books. Even now I probably watch more films than I browse photo sites. Wide lenses let me move in close—right into the scene—like a cinematographer putting the camera center-stage. I want viewers to wonder, how did he get that shot? That cinematic tension drives every click of the shutter. Good cinema feeds great photography. I talk about this in my Dare Photography Workshops : a steady diet of films—blockbusters and arthouse—shapes how you see light, shadow, and story. Don’t dismiss so-called popcorn films either. The Terminator , made on a shoestring budget, is a masterclass in atmosphere and visual storytelling. Movies like that train your eye to find drama in ordinary streets. So if you’re chasing cinematic street photography , here’s my challenge: watch more movies. Study framing, pacing, and light. Then hit the streets and treat each frame like a still from your own film. Whether you’re in London, New York, or anywhere else, you can create a sense of scale and narrative that turns everyday life into a moving picture. Join our community on Instagram— @the_street_thief and @idaretoshoot . Tag your work with #idaretoshoot and we might feature it in our stories or on the grid. This episode dives into that cinematic street-photography mindset—how movies shaped the way I shoot, why New York street photography always feels epic, and how you can borrow the language of film to push your own images further. Grab your camera, queue up a classic film, and start making your own movie—one frame at a time.

Summary: Street Photography isn’t about wandering aimlessly with a camera — it’s about discipline. What you need is a set of photographer rules or guidelines. The kind that forces you into challenges, constraints, and corners until you start seeing what others miss. In this episode, “A Set of Photography Rules for Creative Freedom,” we dig into why limitations can unlock your best work, how rules sharpen your eye, and why discomfort is the quickest way out of a creative brick wall. If you’ve been stuck, sleepwalking through shoots, this one’s a wake-up call. Creative freedom doesn’t come from doing whatever you want — it comes from giving yourself rules strong enough to break you open.
