Chris Gravett has a nickname, or nom de photography, leflik17. He also has a passion and ambition for photography. During our conversation we discuss why he walked away from a high status, highly paid career to do what he loves, which is mainly but not exclusively Music Photography. He has also gone back to school to read for a degree in Photography (but not necessarily for the reasons that you might think). I found Chris’s story inspirational and I only wish that if you are one of those people who have decided to put your dreams on hold, that you reconsider that suffocating decision after listening to this episode.

Chris is also organising and taking part in a new photographic exhibition called Public Private at a new venue in East London (part of the world that he loves to photograph), the Espacio Gallery.
