Ep 186 - The Art of Capturing Intimate Landscapes with Krista McCuish

Krista McCuish shares her journey into landscape photography, which began with childhood explorations in the coastal woodlands of Nova Scotia. These early wanderings ignited her imagination and a lifelong fascination with nature, particularly the overlooked details of the natural world. With a focus on botanicals, textures, and patterns, Krista creates thought-provoking, intimate photographs that highlight the beauty of the unseen.
 
Her background in critical care nursing, including ICU, aeromedical evacuation, and forensic nursing, combined with studies in earth science and toxicology, informs her art with a unique perspective. Krista finds calm and creative fulfillment in macro and still-life photography, where she uses her keen observation skills to explore the intricacies of her subjects.
 
Krista's work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions across Nova Scotia, including ViewPoint and Studio Lab Galleries, as well as in numerous publications. She also experiments with mixed media, such as watercolor and printmaking, to expand the expressive potential of her photography. Reflecting on the role of social media, Krista discusses the challenge of balancing creative integrity with sharing her work online and her dedication to pushing the boundaries of photographic art.

Judit Prat Martí has always loved taking pictures. Originally from outside Barcelona, Judit started taking classes at Richard Stromberg’s Chicago Photography Classes school while a Postdoctoral fellow at the Astronomy and Astrophysics department at the University of Chicago.

Ep 178 - Exploring Abstract Landscapes with Laura Zimmerman

In this episode, I sit down with Laura Zimmerman, a Pacific Northwest photographer who shifted from portrait to landscape photography after her retirement in 2020. Laura dives into her journey of rediscovering photography through experimental techniques, including Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) and Multiple Exposure ICM. Known for her abstract landscapes, Laura reflects on how the COVID lockdown provided her the opportunity to explore new creative realms, particularly around Lake Sammamish, where she crafted images with a profound emotional resonance.
 
Laura discusses the joy and unpredictability of experimenting with ICM, capturing the beauty of movement in nature, and the importance of embracing the unknown. We also explore how she balances her passion for photography with everyday life, her thoughtful approach to post-processing, and her perspective on photography’s role in today’s fast-paced, digital-driven world. From gallery features at home and abroad to her work in ICM Magazine, Laura’s story is one of transformation and creative exploration.
