Ep 28 - Dani Watson's Transition from Tennis Coach to Landscape Artist is a New Game

This time I’ll be talking to Dani Watson about her stunning landscapes.

Dani turns these photographs into artworks that capture the essence of the scene that was in front of her.

 

Dani started out as a professional tennis coach. And it was an unintentional, somewhat accidental, career path which began with a introduction to DSLR camera course at Michael’s Camera Store in Melbourne.

 

After enrolling in a swag of new courses… over the next few weeks to learn as much as she could about photography Dani joined a few landscape photographers on a tour to the Great Ocean Road, and that really sparked the interest in Landscape photography. After a chance meeting with Ken Duncan, at the Langham Hotel, Dani decided to give up her former life as a tennis coach.

 

Dani had a point of difference in her sporting career holding a degree, so she enrolled in a Photography degree at RMIT University.

 

She has worked with Ken Duncan OAM as his assistant, travelled with Ray Martin has had the opportunity to learn from so many photographers who inspire her each and every day.

 

We discuss how growing up on a farm has influenced her art, how and why she started her degree, along with a host of other topics.

I hope you enjoy the show!
