  Emily Garthwaite on Consent, Conflict and the Stories We Don’t See

  Sep 22, 20261h 1m

  How does a photographer earn trust in places shaped by conflict, faith and history? In this episode of How I See: The Leica Podcast , Louise Goldstone speaks with photographer Emily Garthwaite about curiosity, walking and the human connections behind her work. Emily recounts how she first began photographing people as a teenager, her journey to Iraq during the Arbaeen pilgrimage, and the thousands of kilometres she walked through the Zagros Mountains. She discusses working with Yazidi communities, documenting faith and memory, and travelling with Sister Macrina through the landscapes of Sinjar. The conversation also explores ethical photography, informed consent, women’s access to private spaces, and why some of the most important photographs are the ones you choose not to take. Emily shares her Leica approach—one camera, one lens—and explains why restriction, patience and returning to the same communities are central to her practice. She also reflects on rejection, teamwork, photojournalism and her move into long-form documentary filmmaking.

  Holly-Marie Cato: Finding the Stories Close to Home

  Sep 1, 20261h 4m

  In this episode of How I See: The Leica Podcast , host Louise Goldstone sits down with London-based photographer and director Holly-Marie Cato to explore photography as a tool for connection, curiosity and community. Holly reflects on growing up in a large Jamaican-British family in London, her unexpected journey from architecture into photography, and the pivotal experience of documenting the 2011 Tottenham riots that helped change the course of her career. From Mexico City and Vietnam to India, Jamaica and London's Notting Hill Carnival, Holly discusses how travel, conversation and human connection shape the way she photographs the world. She also takes us behind Heavy is the Mantle , her deeply personal project documenting a Black Caribbean church community, and reflects on trust, representation and the responsibility of giving something back to the people we photograph. The conversation also explores why creating opportunities for emerging Black photographers matters, how her architectural background influences the way she sees space, and why some of the most meaningful stories might be much closer to home than we think. For Holly, photography may begin with the camera, but the conversation will always matter more than the photograph.
