It is hard to believe that exactly two years have passed since we launched our beloved website MirrorLessons. Much like a newborn child, we never could have imagined just how profoundly running a website would impact our personal and professional lives.

Living the Life of a London Street Shooter: An Interview with Nicholas Goodden

22/10/2014 By Heather 3 Comments

Welcome to our series of 100 interviews we will be holding with professional photographers who use mirrorless cameras for work! “Switching to a smaller and lighter system” has become somewhat of a buzz phrase as of late, but many working photographers take this philosophy seriously. From medical reasons such as resolving back and shoulder pain to the simple realisation that bigger does not mean better, photographers are turning to mirrorless systems now more than ever before.

This week’s interview is with Nicholas Goodden, a Franco-British award-winning urban and street photographer who resides in the great city of London. His work has been featured in a wide variety of publications including The Huffington Post, Londonist, LondonOnTheInside, Photoshelter and The Phoblographer, and has been included in the global list of the Top 100 Most Socially Influential Photographers.
