The Camera Life

The Random Photography Show is our weekly live podcast about al things photography. Join Justin and Greg live as they go over camera news, rumours and even review images that you send in.

This episode dives into major camera industry shifts—from GoPro’s bold new interchangeable lens system to DJI’s latest Osmo Pocket release. The hosts explore evolving trends in smartphone photography, sensor tech, and creative tools, while also reviewing listener-submitted images and discussing what makes a compelling photograph beyond technical perfection.

Anne is the photographer behind White Shutter Photography, originally from Germany and now based in Australia for over 17 years. She is driven by the stories, emotions, and connections that make each wedding unique, creating natural, romantic, and soulful imagery.

Her approach is organic and people-focused, taking the time to understand each couple and gently guiding them to ensure their vision comes through authentically. Anne is passionate about capturing genuine moments—whether intimate or grand—and brings a calm, supportive presence to every wedding.

Based in the Macedon Ranges, she lives with her daughter River and a mix of animals on their equestrian property. When she’s not behind the lens, she enjoys coffee, chocolate, and a good glass of red wine.
