Award-winning automotive photographer and Nikon Europe Ambassador Amy Shore joins Angela Nicholson for a fascinating conversation about creativity, storytelling and why developing your own photographic style has never been more important.
Although Amy is best known for her evocative images of classic cars, this episode quickly reveals that her work is really about people, adventure and the stories that connect them. She explains how an unexpected route from studying silversmithing to photographing weddings and eventually becoming one of the UK's leading automotive photographers shaped the way she sees the world through her camera.
Amy discusses why natural light plays such an important role in her photography, how she approaches major events such as Goodwood Revival and why trusting your own instincts is far more valuable than trying to copy someone else's style.
The conversation also explores the changing photographic landscape, including the rise of artificial intelligence. Amy shares why she believes authentic photography created by real people will become even more valuable in the years ahead, arguing that genuine emotion and honest storytelling can never be replaced.
Along the way, Angela and Amy also talk about working as a woman in the automotive industry, balancing a successful freelance career with family life and the importance of finding confidence in your own creative voice.
Whether you photograph cars, wildlife, landscapes, weddings or family life, this episode is full of thoughtful advice about developing your style, embracing authenticity and creating photographs that genuinely reflect the way you see the world.
