Ep 66 - Unveiling Earth's Wonders Through Arwin Levinson's Lens

Arwin Levinson is a Las Vegas-based landscape photographer known to capture some very compelling photography that depicts nature in its most raw and ethereal form. She’s devoted her time to capturing not only perfectly timed photos of our world but also the feeling of awe you get when you experience those moments of wonder in real-time.
Arwin was born in Massachusetts and studied computer science at the University of Illinois before finding herself in Las Vegas. One day, on a road trip through the country to help her sister move to Los Angeles, Levinson found herself driving through the mountains in Colorado when she felt immediately inspired by nature and the views of the mountains. She picked up her first camera not long after, and found herself wandering around the landscapes trying to capture as much of the land surrounding the North West as she could. When she moved back to Illinois, she found herself in a city with very minimal landscape opportunities, but a work trip that took her all the way to India, where she got the chance to visit the Himalayas, would rekindle her passion for photography again.
We discuss how she came to see the landscapes around her as old friends she can revisit many times over as well as her love for capturing the unusual and astronomical events that can be seen in the brother skies along with much much more!
I hope you enjoy the show!

Ep 65 - Seeking Stillness and Depth in Wild Landscape with Sara Boychuk

Sara Boychuk has been a “photographer” since she was a child.  She photographed on film and was published at a young age.  After school, she decided to move into the medical field following 2 degrees and when she got deep into nursing Sara was truly reminded how precious and finite life is.  Taking pictures freezes a time in life that is never replicated- for that brief moment.. time stands still.  She cherishes that so deeply and seeks this stillness in everything she does.
Living in Canada Sara gets to enjoy adventures in all seasons: hiking, kayaking, skiing, snorkelling, and a whole lot of general frolicking in nature. 
We discuss how she made the decision to move into full time photography and where that journey has taken her along with a lot more.
I hope you enjoy the show!

Ep 64 - Chris Wright's On the Role or Landscape Photography in Climate Advocacy

Chris Wright is a photographer living on Sydney’s northern beaches, whose interests extend from natural and urban landscapes, to travel and street photography. As a university professor and senior climate change researcher, he has a strong interest in the natural environment and the sustainability of ecosystems and planetary health. 
His photography journey began more than thirty years ago growing up on Sydney Harbour, using his first cameras to capture the beauty of the ocean, as well as on fishing trips to Australia’s tropical north and Papua New Guinea (many of his images featured in fishing magazines of the time). 
In the 2010s he rediscovered a love of photography on overseas trips to major cities in North America, Europe and Asia. Embracing mirrorless, small format cameras, this late in life rediscovery of the joy of photography has grown into a consuming passion as his knowledge of the technical aspects of composition and processing has developed. 
In recent years, the pandemic has led him to shift his attention towards local seascape and landscape compositions and explore the creative possibilities of hidden waterfalls and the beauty of beaches and headlands at sunrise and sunset. He has also sought to marry his research interest in climate change with photographic projects exploring the fossil fuel industry and its physical impacts on the landscape and society. This includes exploring ways to extend his photographic vision into artistic and abstract compositions which address the realities of the vulnerability of the natural environment and the changing landscape we are now living within.
We discuss climate change and the challenges we face with it, how Chris uses his imagery in his educational career, the way photography has helped him with mental health and his career as a climate scientist along with a whole lot more.
I hope you enjoy the show!

Ep 62 - Larryn Rae's Astro and Scenic Landscapes in New Zealand's Back Country

This week Larryn Rae joins me to talk about his stunning astro and scenic landscapes from NZ and around the world.
With a decade of world travel and photography experience, Larryn came to realise that truly remarkable landscapes are more than just photogenic geological structures. Their moods shift with the weather, their faces change in the shadows, and while they dance in daylight, they never lay dormant at night.
Larryn fell  in love with the way mountains come alive under the Milky Way, the moment the sun and ocean melt together, the haunting comfort of fog banks lighting up as they envelope a city skyline and the way the stars blur as the world twirls beneath them.
It’s all lead him to what he describes as his compulsion to capture more of these fleeting moments of time in nature, and in the process, create portraits of New Zealand’s true essence.
We discuss how his compulsion has grown, his recent move to the South Island of NZ to pursue his passion and his incredible workflows both in the field and in post production and lots, lots more.
I hope you enjoy the show!

Ep 60 - Exploring Landscape Photography from the Sea with Steve Belasco

This week I'm joined by Steve Belasco talking about his unique coastscapes where he captures landscape images from the sea!
I first saw Steve’s work in a pub when I was on holiday in Dorset earlier this year. What I saw was a series of intriguing images of the coast of Dorset taken from a boat on the sea.  They were unique and interesting so  I spoke to the barman and luckily he had one of Steve’s business cards behind the bar.
When I got home I contacted Steve and he agreed to be my guest for this week’s episode.  His career spans several decades from his days as a newspaper photographer through his paparazzi and sports photography years to freelancing and eventually to what he now loves doing; showing people the Jurassic Coast from a very different view point.  Everyone has seen Durdle Door and many of the iconic locations from the land, nut few have photographed it in the way that Steve is doing.
He has published a number of books of his coast scape photography and has just published a new one which we talk about in the show.
We also touch on why he gave up newspaper photography, how he manages a camera and a boat at the same time and his work in magazine production and his association with the Jurassic Coast Trust along with a whole lot more 
I hope you enjoy his fascinating story!

Ep 59 - Neil Jose's Unique Photographic Perspective

This week I'm talking to Neil Jose about his amazing landscape photography journey.
From creating masterpieces in the kitchen, to enjoying the feeling of fighting in 14th century armour, Neil Jose is an animal loving, tattooed, easy going kind of bloke. 
What started with taking photos of buildings with an iPhone, has turned into Sunday morning sunrises and Wednesday afternoon sunsets, with many other creations in between. 
We're all told to look outside the box to be creative - but with Neil’s photography, it's what he fits in that box that tells the story.
We delve into how he forgot how much he loved photography as a child, his penchant for medieval reenactment along with what drives his photographic passions.
I hope you enjoy the show!
