If you missed it, check out episode 1 with Tim here:
In this episode of Russ Critiques, we take a deep dive into the evocative and thought-provoking work of ‘And There Was Light’ photography – a practicing priest with a passion for dark, conceptual portraiture, Photoshop artistry, and philosophical themes.
📸 This unique portfolio blends studio lighting techniques, post-production creativity, and exploration through photography. If you’ve ever wondered what kind of imagery a vicar might shoot, this one’s for you!
Join Russ as he explores father Rich’s world and tries to offer advice on the technical aspects, and shares insights into the storytelling behind his images. As always, the approach will be open-minded and fun.
🧠 Great for photographers interested in:
Studio & Portrait Photography
Conceptual & Fine Art Imagery
Creative Photoshop Editing
Philosophical Approaches to Visual Art

Thanks for doing this Russ, enjoyed it – not harsh at all and gives me something to think about, which is the whole point. Suki and the Chessboard was all in camera btw, and you're right, I need to go back and fix Adam's shadow. Enjoyed the I'm a Celeb references too!
