Join me, Josie Purcell, your host of the Photopocene podcast as I chat with the fabulous emerging freelance photographer, Alice Mason.
Alice has a passion for photographing people which shines through in her work.
She started out studying film at university and experimented with different mediums before falling in love with photography.
Her work has a strong documentary slant, with topics ranging from the BLM protests, street photography, stylised and thematic portraits and fashion, with representation a key focus. She often works with members of the LBGTQ+ community and/or with models who have black, Asian or mixed heritage.
Along with finding out more about her BLM protest coverage and the importance of telling the story of those you photograph, we also chat about our joint love of festivals and her long-form series, Glastonbury After Hours which looks at what's left behind at such an event.
Other editorial work includes her coverage of the World Naked Bike Ride in London; an event taking place globally in various cities to raise awareness of climate change and her experience photographing the event.
As ever, we talk about how photography has a role to play in shining a spotlight on environmental issues, which are most often linked to humanity in some way.

And if you are heading to Glastobury this year, go see Alice at the Wreck Collective at Green Futures Field. And be mindful, if you take it, take it home if you can't dispose of correctly on-site.
