Ep 92 - Storm Chaser Justin Snead on how to Achieve Balance in Life

Justin Snead is a storm chasing photographer from the US whose work is largely guided by extreme weather events.  He’s been lucky enough to set up his work life balance to enable him to take time out to shoot when the storm season in the midwest of the US is at its peak.
For Justin, it started when he was driving one day in Minnesota and noticed an unusual cloud in the sky as it swirled along the rural landscape. Luckily he had his  camera with him and he began clicking away.
 
His phone alerted him of an approaching tornado, a surge of adrenaline rushed through him, and he knew he was in the right place, doing what he was meant to do.
 
Since that time he’s developed a spontaneous style that ignores some of the technical niceties of photography, but that shows the power and magnificence of extreme weather.
 
We discuss how he stays safe in dangerous weather conditions, his balancing act of work and photography and how he’s learned to read storm structures to get the results he wants, along with lots more!
 
I hope you enjoy the show!

Ep 91 - The Healing Power of Landscape Photography with Andrew Baruffi

Content Warning: This podcast episode includes a discussion of suicide, which may be triggering for some listeners. If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, please seek help immediately.
Photography and mental health go hand in hand. Today I talk to Andrew Baruffi who has used the power that nature has to heal, and through photography has enabled healing moments for himself.
I won’t go into the details here because Andrew tells his story far better than I can, in the podcast.  Andrews work draws on the landscapes of Zion and the south-west of the USA where his journey of healing truly began.
We talk about his book Heal, the culmination of his journey through suicidal depression and anxiety, how he has used his photography to make strides in his recovery along with a whole lot more.
I hope you enjoy the show!

Ep 89 - Storyboarding Your Photography with David Fairs

David Fairs is a photographer, filmmaker, painter, illustrator, and digital artist living and  working in the Illawarra region South of Sydney. Obsessed with the ocean, documenting the beauty of nature, David believes creators hold more value than our system holds true.
Growing up on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, and being a keen surfer, the sea and water have always been close to his heart and this shows strongly in his art, with his main focus recently being on aerial surf and abstract wave shots.
 
Formerly a creative director for a marketing agency, David has used many of the  skills he learned in that field in making the decision to make art full time.  He uses creative visualisation techniques such as story boarding etc to shape his creative vision and drive his business forward.
 
We discuss his encounter with a sea monster, how he uses his business skills to create art,  his involvement with the NFT space along with a lot more!
 
I hope you enjoy the show!

Ep 88 - A Creative Affair with Brie Stockwell & Len Metcalf

This week I’ve got something a bit different.  Brie Stockwell and Len Metcalf both brilliant  landscape photographers in their own right, started their podcast, A Creative Affair, a little while ago after meeting during an after party for Matt Payne’s podcast, F/Stop Collaborate & Listen. 
Their podcast is a  collection of lively conversations, exploring creativity through the art of photography and other creative passions.
 
Brie is an American photographer & life coach who has been exploring her own creativity through her work in nature and landscape photography since 2019. 
 
Brie challenged herself to exhibit 10 of her best images in 2020, in what she calls an "impossible goal".  Through this challenge, Brie learned a lot about herself which has opened several doors in her life.
 
Len began his obsession for photography in the late sixties when his father gifted him his first camera. Growing up in Australia’s spectacular Blue Mountains provided Len with an endless array of incredible scenes to capture. He particularly loves the light and mood of misty wet landscapes, abundant in that region.
 
In 2000 Len opened his own gallery in Katoomba. Combining his flair for both education and photography made perfect sense and not  long after, Len’s School was created.   Len has become renowned as a leading photographic educator through teaching, mentoring and facilitating innovative workshops and tours. 
 
We discuss how the pair view creativity, how their shared passion has blossomed into an online partnership, the vagaries of social media &  photography along with much much more!
 
I hope you enjoy the show!

Ep 87 - Early Morning Seascapes and Photo Framemaking with Glenn Walker

Glenn Walker is an Australian/Melbourne based photographer specialising in sea and landscapes.
 
He loves to set his alarm for 4am and drive to a location in the darkness and with anticipation, setting up just as the first light taints the horizon. With the awakening of his surroundings, Glenn creates wonderful naturalistic compositions as he observes the changing conditions.
 
Glenn grew up by the bay and regularly headed to the coast on weekends, so he’s always been captivated by the picturesque sea, sand, surf and Victoria’s many and varied scenic landscapes. In recent years, after a trip to Hawaii, he began viewing the sea through the lens of a camera and has been capturing images ever since.
 
Glenn also uses his carpentry skills to create frames, in either sustainable or solid recycled timbers, to compliment his images.
 
He aspires to capture the moment and movement of the ever-changing elements of nature.  Guided by nature’s random tides, swell, water, wind, light, stone, timbers, foliage and all of its captivating hues.
 
We discuss his adventurous nature, the challenges of selling his prints at market stalls, how he creates his own frames with recycled timber along with so much more!
 
I hope you enjoy the show!

Ep 86 - Multiple Exposure Landscape Photography by Rosie Steggles

Rosie Steggles has been interested in photography practically her whole life.  Rosie had her first SLR when she was in high school. 
 
Digital Photography has allowed her to have more control over how she wants her images to look and so she can create more of a mood in her shots. 
 
Rosie now focuses on her compositional work and creating a story image from scratch.
 
While Rosie loves landscape and travel photography, she’s also a very keen explorer of  a lot of genres for example: architecture, surf, etc (portrait photography scares her the most though).
 
We discuss her horror story, how she’s developed her multiple exposure style, the hacking of her instagram account and how she got it back along with a whole lot more!
 
I hope you enjoy the show!

Ep 85 - Extra Long Exposure Seascape Photography with Paul Belli

Paul Belli has been photographing landscapes/seascapes since 2018. Originally from Scotland he’s now well and truly settled in New Zealand and loves having the opportunity to shoot some of the most stunning scenery in the world.
 
His style has changed quite a bit in those 4 short years. He’s always shot long exposure photography but continues pushing boundaries with the length of exposures he’s taking, taking a deep dive into the realms of ultra long exposure photography.
 
His first love is taking photographs of the sea, probably in part from the love of having his feet in the ocean, to Paul it's very cathartic.
 
Being surrounded by natural beauty in New Zealand, Paul uses his camera as an extension of how he sees the landscape and then prints his photos with a focus on the magic he finds. 
 
Earlier this year he won the Cityscape category in the Landscape Photography World Awards and he’s going to keep pushing the boundaries of his craft.
 
We talk about where his creative drive comes from, how he balances having a young family with his passion for astro-photography and what success in his photography means to him along with a lot more!
 
I hope you enjoy the show!

Ep 85 - Landscape Photography on the South Coast of Britain by Tom Ormerod

Family man Tom Ormerod lives in Bournemouth on the south coast of England. When he’s not standing knee deep in water or doing an impression of a mountain goat on the side of a cliff, he works as an IT Director and specialises in the Education sector.
 
He has always been around cameras  and photography but found his niche in 2017. Over the years Tom has had all kinds of cameras such as a hand-me-down 35mm SLR, early digital cameras, bridge cameras and DSLRs but it was the purchase of his Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II that really sparked his interest in the landscapes around him.
 
He is well known across the South Coast for his enthusiasm and friendliness, always willing to stop and chat with others, encouraging the social & wellbeing side of photography as much as the creative and technical aspects.
 
Tom has been an active member of the Guild of Professional Photographers since 2019. He quickly achieved his Qualified status and has since been submitting his work for assessment on a regular basis. He has won Gold, Silver & Bronze awards for his work and has achieved the multiple Photographers Bar awards (for consistently high quality work over a year) in the Natural World and Open categories. In 2021 he was shortlisted for the Image of the year award (Vasco Da Gamma Bridge) and finished as the overall Runner up in the Open category.
 
We discuss what photography means to him, how he balances a busy career and family life with his photography, his love of the south coast of England and much much more.
 
I hope you enjoy the show!
