In this episode of HeARTh Tales on Fresh FM, host Rich McCoy sits down with photographer Steve Ford of Wise Dog Studios to explore the emotional heart of photography. From growing up as a solitary youth in a mining town to serving as a ship’s photographer in the Royal Navy, Steve shares how punk music, travel, and personal loss shaped his artistic eye. They discuss the mythopoetic power of the image, the tension between emotion and technique, and why the most powerful photograph Steve ever took wasn’t technically perfect — but perfectly human. It’s a moving, grounded conversation about seeing, feeling, and capturing moments that matter.
