David Suchet 'on photography'

Box Brownie · 21 Oct 2019

Hi all

I was listening to Radio 4 Saturday Live this weekend and one guest was David Suchet.

He spoke of his love of Photography and how 'subjects' catch his eye.....in regard to which I felt a synergy of way some things catch my eye where others would just walk by!

BBC link here https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0009jbm

I am downloading the show to listen to again. He also mentioned a book " Behind the Lens: My Life like a good read as well to see his photographs.

I'm a huge Poirot fan so this is an easy purchase decision. Thanks for the heads up.

You're welcome

Sometimes it can be a surprise when you hear of a person in the public eye has another side to their personality. I recall hearing Denis Healey being interviewed and he was one a smallish number of MPs who all were keen lifelong photographers....... unlike, it seems these days, it helped cross the political divide in "the house"!

Yes he did. First thing I thought of. Im sure he went around villages talking to older people about the village they were in and compared photos from the past and present.
Could be completely wrong though lol.

Right i have found from 2012 a documentary called
Perspectives – David Suchet: People I Have Shot. It was him in effect following in his grandfather's Jimmy Jarche footsteps.....who was a Fleet Street Photographer who was his mentor and inspiration in photography.

And on Google here 4 episodes and other links
