Tania Malkin's passion for photography began early, collecting travel postcards on family camping trips around Western Australia and receiving her first SLR camera at seven. Inspired by the Australian outback's colors and the Australian Impressionist art movement, Tania's interest in photography and art has been a significant part of her life journey. Initially studying fine art and art history, she used photographic images as references for her paintings. However, landscape photography, particularly aerial photography, took precedence in the late '90s.
Living and working in remote locations has given Tania the opportunity to explore and capture stunning landscapes, creating artworks across various mediums, including photography, painting, and ceramics. Tania describes aerial images as illustrations of the landscape in a completely different way, offering a journey through the history of a landscape that oscillates between the surreal and reality.. Tania's work is renowned for its unique perspectives and storytelling through images, capturing the essence of the landscapes she explores. She continues to shape her approach to landscape photography, offering a glimpse into the future of the art form.
We discuss her experiences working with Fujifilm, her transition from terrestrial to aerial photography, and the logistical and creative challenges that come with it. We touch on her approach to planning shoots, her philosophy on storytelling through images, the business side of photography, and her struggles with pricing and marketing her work along with lots more.
I hope you enjoy the show!

Alexandra MacAlpine, better known as Xan, is the founder and sole operator of The Social Herd, a creative hub she runs from home in the Central West of New South Wales. Living on a mixed farm with her husband Alex, Xan draws inspiration from her rural surroundings and Alex's insights into marketing products to farmers.
With a background in design and photography from the University of Technology in Sydney, Xan initially pursued a career in marketing and communications. It wasn't until 2020 that she combined her skills and passion for photography by starting The Social Herd. Through her business, Xan collaborates with rural-based enterprises, offering strategic and creative marketing solutions. The best part for Xan is the opportunity to pick up her camera again and capture the essence of rural life.
Xan's photography is authentic, showcasing everyday individuals at work, including her husband Alex on their property. She uses a mix of ground and aerial shots, often employing a drone to capture dynamic images. Her limited-edition prints, with only 25 copies each, are intended to be timeless and unique. Each day presents new opportunities for Xan to capture the rural beauty and hardworking spirit of her community.
Alexandra shares how her daily life deeply influences her photography. She discusses the importance of showcasing women in agriculture, her journey from studying design and photography to finding her niche in rural landscapes, and the challenges and joys of working with livestock.
She also highlights how her work promotes understanding between rural and urban communities and reflects on the evolving role of photography in telling authentic stories of the land. Her insights are a testament to the power of photography in capturing the timeless beauty of rural Australia and its hardworking people.

Martine Perret is a photographic artist who was born in Paris, and now lives and works from her base in Margaret River. She is known for her startlingly beautiful portrayal of the Western Australian landscape, often employing aerial captures and portraiture to tell important stories of our times.
Her approach to artistic work is based on a career in photojournalism, including a decade covering UN peacekeeping missions in conflict zones, in South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Burundi, Timor-Leste and West Africa where she documented the Ebola crisis.
Recent projects Ngala Wongga (Come Talk) - Cultural Significance of Languages in the Goldfields and Belong – Language connecting feeling, culture, country exhibition at the WA Museum Boola Bardip, highlight the importance of First Nations' languages.

Martine shares her journey from her beginnings in Paris and Bordeaux, through her extensive travels with the UN, to settling in Sydney and eventually Western Australia. We talk about the crucial role of photography in society, the impact of digital evolution on the field, and the personal philosophies that guide Martine's work.

Ep 153 - Exploration and Imagination in Aerial Photography Featuring Tim Wrate
Wednesday Jul 03, 2024
Wednesday Jul 03, 2024
Tim Wrate's childhood passion for drawing fantastical landscapes evolved into a love for photography during a 2001 expedition to Mount Kenya. However, it wasn't until 2008, after completing his academic pursuits, that he fully embraced photography. Inspired by medium format panoramic photographers, he adopted a medium format slide film camera in 2010, dedicating himself to mastering its nuances and the discipline required for film photography.
In 2018, on a family holiday in Western Australia, a chartered flight over Hutt Lagoon revealed stunning textures and colors, igniting his fascination with the aerial perspective. This new pursuit led him to travel across Australia, capturing diverse landscapes, from cloud inversions in Kosciuszko National Park to dramatic tidal ranges in the Kimberley.
Aerial photography, though challenging, offered unique rewards. From the open windows of light aircraft and doorless helicopters, Tim navigated wind buffeting, engine vibrations, and shifting perspectives to capture powerful images. Collaborating closely with skilled pilots, he revealed the hidden beauties of the landscapes. Tim's work transcends the obvious, offering fresh insights and a harmonious blend of geography and art.
In this episode, Tim outlines his journey from childhood fascinations to his adult explorations of Australia's diverse terrains from the air.
Highlighting his transition from film to digital photography and the strategic adoption of medium format cameras for panoramic vistas, he emphasizes the importance of finding a unique photographic voice.
Additionally, we discuss the challenges and rewards of sharing art in the digital age, offering advice to aspiring aerial photographers and stressing the unending allure of discovery through the camera lens.

Ep 147 - Hillary Younger: Exploring Light and Wilderness in Landscape Photography
Wednesday May 22, 2024
Wednesday May 22, 2024
Hilary Younger grew up pretty much alone, on a horse, in the bush...with a tendency to dream, and to become lost for hours in such things as a flower, or the wind on her face.
Photography was a lure for many years, but has only been an integral part of Hilary’s life since 2007 merging with a deep love of the natural world.
There is, at the bottom of it all, a deep reverence for land and life.
For Hilary, landscape photography is an expression of the unique relationship of the photographer with the land. My photography is an attempt to communicate intimate moments in that relationship, which stir the emotions and touch the spirit.
We explore Hilary's progress through the world of photography, starting from her introduction to landscape photography out of personal crisis to her profound journeys across the Tasmanian wilderness and international deserts.
Hilary shares her transformative experiences, the risks taken to capture breathtaking shots, and the pivotal role of solitude in artistic creation along with lots more.
