| 19 Mar 2025 | EP 43 - Who’s Actually Keeping Street Photography Real on YouTube? (Rant Alert!) | 00:13:33 | |
Let’s talk about why is most street photography on YouTube is so... bad? Overhyped, and about as spontaneous as a plate. Listen I’ve nothing against the creators here, good on them, it’s more about me being intrigued and annoyed as to why YouTube rewards that gooey syrupy kind of a video over the handful of photographers telling it as it is. This isn’t some deep-dive analysis—it’s just me having a good old-fashioned rant about the state of things. Expect sarcasm, some brutal honesty, and maybe this is us making a stand for the quality youtube street photographers. Hit play, have a laugh, and if you disagree... well, that’s what the comments are for.

| 25 Feb 2025 | EP 39 - The Plan is… There is No Plan: How Spontaneity Fuels Creativity | 00:14:16 | |
An off-the-wall, disruptive, street and portrait photography podcast hosted by Gary Lashmar, aka the Street Thief from East London, UK. We’re creating, we’re disrupting, we’re clicking, and we’re putting the world to rights. A podcast that keeps it real and asks questions that no other photography podcasts do. Fires arrows at industry nonsense. With a tilt toward street photography, leaving no stone unturned. In this episode Gary started out this episode improvising what to talk about and as a consequence got into talking about the benefits of improvisation. Out here on the streets, with a camera in your hand and the world moving at a hundred miles an hour, a plan is just a distraction. I never plan a shot. Not because I can’t be bothered, but because the best moments—the real, raw, unfiltered ones—happen when you’re actually in the moment, not stuck in your head thinking about what should happen. Street photography isn’t a checklist. It’s not about following some pre-planned vision like you’re directing a film. It’s about reading the energy, reacting to the unexpected, and staying sharp. And yeah, that can feel like stepping off a cliff with no parachute. But that’s where the magic happens. If you’re overthinking every frame, you’re missing the real story. Let go, trust your instincts, and see what happens when you shoot with your gut instead of a game plan. Press play, and let’s talk about why the best shots come when you stop trying to control everything.

We're creating, we're disrupting, we're clicking and we're putting the world to rights. A podcast that keeps it real and asks questions that no other photography podcasts do. Fires arrows at industry nonsense. With a tilt toward street photography, leaving no stone unturned. In this episode … Are you really a street photographer if you’re asking permission? Or are you just… politely documenting? In this episode of The Dare Photography Podcast, Gary Lashmar drops a bombshell that might ruffle a few purist feathers: The secret, is… I’m not a street photographer. Yep, you heard that right. With his signature mix of creative chaos, near-the-mark humor, and just enough sarcasm to keep things spicy, Gary tackles the age-old debate: does street photography lose its soul when you ask for permission? The answer isn’t what everyone will want to hear, but hey—when has this podcast ever been about pleasing the masses? Bold, disruptive, and refreshingly down-to-earth, this episode is a no-filter masterclass on why the rules of photography are made to be broken. If you’re looking for a shot of creative inspiration (and maybe a laugh or two), this one’s for you. Expect a mix of raw, unfiltered banter, near-the-knuckle humor, and plenty of holiday cheer—all wrapped up in the punk rock spirit of photography.

| 25 Mar 2025 | EP 45 - Street Photography Mindset: How to See Like a Fking Predator | 00:14:10 | |
You ever walk through a street that’s buzzing with life, camera in hand… and still feel like you’re seeing nothing? Yeah. That’s not your lack of talent—it’s your mindset. In this episode, Gary Lashmar aka The Street Thief rips into the myth of “interesting subjects” and exposes the real reason you’re missing the shot. It’s not about luck, or gear, or magic locations—it’s about waking up, getting outside of our thinking, so we can begin to see like a f**king predator. We’re talking primal vision, creative awareness, and learning to open our eyes creatively.

Fires arrows at industry nonsense. With a tilt toward street photography, leaving no stone unturned. In this episode Most photographers don’t actually want to get better—they just want to feel like they’re getting better. And that’s the problem. The comfort zone is where your dreams go to die. Photography growth isn’t about mastering composition, finding the best lens, or chasing the perfect preset. The hardest part of improving is admitting you’ve been full of sh*t. In this episode, I pull the carpet out from under you. We’ll talk about: 🔥 Why most photographers are stuck in a trance—repeating the same habits and mistaking comfort for growth. 🔥 How a lot of what is out there online keeps you sedated—feeding you validation instead of real challenges. 🔥 The illusion of progress—how watching tutorials, buying gear, and playing it safe keep you stuck. 🔥 The only real way forward—embracing discomfort, breaking habits, and waking the f*ck up. Most people run from the harsh reality.

🎧 Show Notes Introduction: This episode gets real. I’m diving headfirst into the questions you’ve been asking—from handling aggression on the street, to kit essentials, to finding your groove in the pouring rain.

I don’t chase perfection—I chase the unpredictable moments that actually make the shot. If you're stuck overthinking, paralysed by gear settings, or too focused on getting it “right,” this one's for you. Unfiltered. Unpolished. Street photography as it should be. Let’s go.

| 21 Mar 2025 | EP 44 - I Watched Adolescence as a Photographer. I Felt It as a Father. | 00:13:31 | |
This episode isn’t about photography. Not really. It’s about a show that hit me in such a way I had to talk about it. I just watched Adolescence on Netflix — a cinematic sledgehammer starring Stephen Graham and Owen Cooper as the 13 year old boy arrested for murder. The performances left me speechless as did the direction by Philip Barantini. and writing by Jack Thorne and Graham. Shot in one take. Four episodes. No cuts. No mercy. As a photographer, I was floored by the visual storytelling. As a dad… I was disturbed. This show isn’t so much entertainment — it’s a mirror. It’s a question we all need to be asking: do we really know what’s going on in our kids’ lives . This is me processing it all. No plan, no notes — just an immediate reaction.

| 22 Apr 2025 | EP 51 - The Confidence Con: How Street Photographers Are Being Sold Comfort | 00:12:47 | |
In this episode I’m calling bullshit on the illusion of progress being sold to photographers everywhere. Street Photographers gain confidence through rigour - not comfort. Confidence isn’t something you get—it’s something you do. And yet, the industry keeps pushing the idea that buying more gear, upgrading cameras, or chasing the latest lens will somehow make you brave, better, or bolder. It won’t. This episode is a conversation about urgency, discomfort, and the real work behind building confidence—not only in street photography, but in life. You’ll hear thoughts on:

| 27 Mar 2025 | EP 46 - Stop Playing Small - Why most photographers are SCARED to SHINE! | 00:19:49 | |
This one’s for the photographers and creatives holding themselves back. In this episode, Gary (aka The Street Thief) goes full tilt on why most photographers are scared to be great. He talks about our fear of being seen, fear of being judged, fear of actually owning our power. From deep philosophy to street-smart truths, Gary breaks down why confidence isn’t about strutting—it’s about showing up, raw and real. There’s no growth without discomfort, and no greatness without guts. Katie drops in for some banter, a reality check, and a couple of Mother's Day jabs. This is your creative wake-up call. No fluff. No filters. Just truth, jokes, and a reminder that the bird was meant to fly, not hide in the bush.

| 04 Apr 2025 | EP 48 - What if JOHNNY ROTTEN was a street photographer? | 00:10:58 | |
What if Johnny Rotten were a street Photographer? Welcome to The Dare Photography Podcast — where attitude meets aperture, and creativity refuses to be caged. In this raw and rebellious solo episode, Gary Lashmar (aka the Street Thief) riffs hard on the spirit of punk and what it means for photography today. He doesn’t just talk photography — he smashes the industry's obsession with perfection and shouts for photographers to reclaim their voice, their edge, and their guts. With Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols as the unexpected muse, this episode draws fierce parallels between punk rock and street photography. It’s a call to arms for anyone tired of safe compositions, golden hour clichés, or chasing likes on Instagram. Gary asks: What if we shot like we sang punk — loud, imperfect, and unapologetically real? If Johnny Rotten had a camera instead of a mic, he wouldn’t be chasing bokeh or hiding in shadows. He’d be in your face, making noise, rejecting sterile trends, and setting the frame on fire. That’s the vibe we need in photography now more than ever — a refusal to conform and a hunger to break the rules. Gary takes you through his own memories — growing up in Limehouse, East London, just missing the full wave of punk, but never missing its spirit. He name-drops Elvis, the Beatles, the Maharishi phase, and even Britpop (which, let’s be honest, never really carried the same weight). It’s not about genre. It’s about shaking shit up. And that’s the heart of this episode: attitude. Not the kind that’s contrived, not the plastic-punk mohawks of the Beckham variety — but that raw, instinctive, rebellious energy that says, I’ll shoot how I want, not how I’m told to. The camera is your weapon, not your comfort blanket. Gary questions everything — from the anonymous approach to street photography, to the myth of the perfect photo, to the industry’s constant messaging that you need more gear to be “good enough.” Instead, he flips it: embrace your “mistakes,” seek the happy accidents, and stop asking for permission. He also touches on giving feedback to others, not from a high horse, but by throwing the question back — what do YOU think? It’s not about right or wrong. It’s about finding your own ethics, your own intent, your own voice in the visual noise. If you’re into rule-breaking, soul-shaking photography conversations — the kind no one else is having — this one’s for you. It’s messy. It’s late-night. It’s full of grit. But it’s real. And in today’s glossy, algorithm-driven world — real is rare. 🔗 Don’t forget to check out Gary’s latest YouTube drop, where he shares insights on wide-angle lenses and why he uses them (not why you should). 📢 Hit play, crank it loud, and remember: your next photo doesn’t need to be pretty. It needs to be true.

We're creating, we're disrupting, we're clicking and we're putting the world to rights. A podcast that keeps it real and asks questions that no other photography podcasts do. Fires arrows at industry nonsense. With a tilt toward street photography, leaving no stone unturned. In this episode … Ever scrolled through social media and thought, Is anyone actually real anymore? Yeah, you’re not alone. Gary rips the mask off the endless parade of fake grins, airbrushed “candid” moments, and the absolute bollocks people pass off as authenticity online. 2025 is here, and guess what? No one’s buying the polished, plastic influencer act anymore. People crave raw, unfiltered, real-as-it-gets content—and if you’re still churning out the same old social media fluff, you’re already yesterday’s news. We get into why the era of glossy nonsense is on its last legs, why the real ones are winning, and how you can stop being just another copy-paste personality online. Expect brutal honesty, a bit of near-the-mark humor, and the usual dose of creative disruption. With his signature mix of creative chaos, near-the-mark humor, and just enough sarcasm to keep things spicy, Gary tackles the age-old debate: does street photography lose its soul when you ask for permission? The answer isn’t what everyone will want to hear, but hey—when has this podcast ever been about pleasing the masses? Bold, disruptive, and refreshingly down-to-earth, this episode is a no-filter masterclass on why the rules of photography are made to be broken. If you’re looking for a shot of creative inspiration (and maybe a laugh or two), this one’s for you. Expect a mix of raw, unfiltered banter, near-the-knuckle humor, and plenty of holiday cheer—all wrapped up in the punk rock spirit of photography.
