Matthew Maran Podcast

Eddie is a photographer, designer, writer, editor, bookmaker, mentor, workshop leader – basically the ideal guest for this podcast! Eddie got interested in photography while at University, photographing and writing for a student magazine. After moving to London in 1984 he signed up for a photojournalism course at the London College of Printing (now called the London College of Contemporary Arts) and began mastering the art of black and white printing. Fast forward a few years and Eddie set up his own magazine entitled AG+ and was an early adopter of self-publishing, creating books and manuals about darkroom techniques. The British Journal of Photography bought AG+ magazine and Eddie went on to run workshops and teach at universities and colleges for Ilford and Kodak. He later worked as a commissioning editor and book designer for Argentum for several years, commissioning a wide variety of landscape and wildlife photo books.
