#330 PHOTOWALK: AN INDIAN PHOTOGRAPHIC LOVE AFFAIR
Australian Leica ambassador Russell Shakespeare talks about the importance of clicking with people before you even start clicking with the camera and how special India has been as his photo project muse across three decades. Also, getting creative with a drone, respects paid to Tim Page, photographing Rhino, a misty Swiss walk and being grateful despite the cancellation of a round-the-world trip of a lifetime.
