This week I'm talking to Izzy Abuleela about his stunning extra long exposures as well as some interesting experiences he’s had along the way.
Izzy likes to say that he’s just a normal guy with a passion for photography.  But he’s much more than that.
He can't help but rise before sunrise and head out into the dark, camera in hand, looking to capture the landscape in the pre-dawn gloom.
He  shoots exclusively with the Fuji Medium Format digital system. Specialising in the practice of long exposure,  Izzy captures the often unseen beauty by the art of simplification, presenting a unique view of the world where time is expressed in physical form.
Originally from Liverpool in the UK and now living in Australia. Izzy is dedicated to exploring sharing iconic and lesser known locations around his local area and across Australia. 
He runs a popular YouTube channel where he shares his journey, approach and camera techniques and by doing so connect and learn from the viewer through comments and suggestions.
I hope you enjoy the show!

This time I’ll be talking to Courtney Clark or Courts Jay as she is known online,  about her photography journey and how it has shaped her relationship with the world.
Courts is a West Australian based Travel & Adventure photographer who shoots landscapes, architecture & portraits. A qualified and practising Engineer and a strong advocate for Inclusion & Diversity.
Her photographic style is bold & colourful, and incorporates elements of symmetry and scale.  We discuss how she has continued to develop that style over time, with a focus on bright colours and contrasting elements. 
In 2017, She lost her father suddenly and a close friend 2 months later. These events made Courtney question what she values in life and completely changed her perspective on a lot of things. It made her realise how short and fragile life is, and has chosen to make the most of every opportunity she gets to travel since. 
Photography to Courtney is not only a passion, but it is a way for her to keep the connection alive with her Father.  
We discuss her work and how that shapes her photography, her adventures in the Italian Alps and how the pandemic has affected her relationships and provided an impetus to dive headlong into the NFT photography scene.
I hope you enjoy the show!

Kieran Stone joins the podcast to talk about  his work and motivations along with a  range of other topics I hope you’ll find interesting.
Kieran’s photography career started when he moved to London a while back and started to document his travels around Europe.  On his return to Melbourne as a biomedical scientist, he started to get more serious about progressing his photography and spent a lot of time working on his brand and skills and promoting his work via social media.
If he could sum up his life in one word it would be “Curiosity” Ever since he was a child he has been interested in the world around him and the Universe as a whole. Wondering at the millions of years that went into creating coastline or mountains was much more appealing to him than the ever changing focus of media and entertainment.
This wonder and curiosity combined with wanderlust to see all that he could has brought with it an inevitable desire to capture the world through photography. The more places he visited, the more cultures he came to understand, drove his passion to create images that portrayed the splendour and the raw emotion it evoked.
Kieran’s photography is an expression of his thoughts and philosophies. It is a description and physical representation of his life as a passage through time and development as a Human. He endeavours to never stop learning, whether it is in photography, science, his own personality, or existence as a whole.
I hope you enjoy the show!

In this episode I'm talking to Talor Stone about her photography journey and an exciting new project she’s started.
Talor Stone is a PhD researcher and photographer based in Pensacola, Florida.  After serving as a federal agent for the United States military, Talor broke from the traditional career path to pursue photography.  
As an Arctic specialist, Talor has spent a significant amount of time exploring the northern region.  Her summers in Greenland have inspired numerous academic research projects on topics like globalization and indigenous identity, mass tourism and peripheral communities, and climate-induced human migration among Inuit populations.  These themes are echoed in her photographic pursuits which focus heavily on Arctic landscapes and other climate change-inspired projects that allow her to visually explore the real-life aspects of her academic subjects.  
To further this mission, in 2022-2023 Talor is partnering with filmmaker Ashlei Payne to produce a documentary about the modern changes of hunting culture in northern Greenland based on more than 4 years of academic research.  
Talor’s work is about more than photography.  Her images merge science and art to highlight themes of transition and fragility and to emotionally connect viewers to places few will ever visit.  Her hope is to raise awareness that climate-threatened landscapes are more than data points, charts, and statistics – they’re living places that deserve to be protected in their own right. In her role as an educator, Talor considers it a priority to enhance awareness and appreciation of the natural world through speaking engagements and hands-on education.  Her photography workshops focus on introducing others to these magical and remote places and creating a deeper understanding of the environment while also learning new technical skills.  Talor is proud to be a Pro with Muench Workshops who offer incredible and immersive photography experiences worldwide.
I hope you enjoy the show!

This episode I’m speaking with Julian Lallo about  his work, NFT’s and a range of other topics I hope you’ll find interesting.
When first picking up the camera in 2015 photography was for Julian  nothing more than a hobby - an excuse to hang out with friends and take photos of their sneakers. But it very quickly progressed to something much more than that. It became an obsession; an obsession which led Julian to experiment with all genres of the craft. From street photography and landscapes to portraiture and food.
Through the power of social media his work was soon recognised by both brands and the photography community alike. Gaining work with recognised brands, in international tourism and an ambassador  for Canon Australia.
As his interests have shifted, so too has Julian’s main focus and passion in photography; a shift towards fashion photography. A direction that is off to a great start, having involved campaigns both locally and internationally, with clients such as New Balance, Nana Judy, Intimo, Seafolly and George & King
However, through the ever evolving journey of his career as a photographer one thing has remained the same… It still doesn’t feel like work!
I hope you enjoy the show!

This week I'm joined by Jeff Freestone to talk about his stunning intimate landscapes in the high country of south eastern Australia.
Jeff lives in the small remote town of Omeo, nestled in the heart of the Victorian High Country. He and his family moved here in 2017 from Melbourne seeking a quieter life, away from the hustle and bustle, to raise their children.  What started out as a new hobby quickly turned into something that would soon consume all of Jeff’s free time and resulted in a desire to learn as much as he could about the art of photography. His previous love for art and creativity, which had been lost for many years during during his time chasing money and status, would eventually return in the form of photography and would ultimately become his new tool for artistic expression.
We discuss how he and his family came to make the decision to give up city life for a quieter existence, how the high country has influenced his artistic direction and his passion for intimate forest scenes and much more. 
I hope you enjoy the show!

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!
