Ep 258 - Aurora & Rocky Mountain Photography with James Andrew 07.07.2026

James Andrew bought his first camera in 2018 to document his daughter growing up. He was working as an electrician at the time and spending his days off driving out into the Rockies alone. A Tuesday night aurora at Peyto Lake at minus 30 changed everything. Three years of learning the craft later, James walked away from a 20 year electrician career to pursue photography full time. Based in Calgary...

Ep 257 - Project Based Landscape Photography with David Baker 30.06.2026

Ep 254 - Yorkshire Wolds Landscape Photography with Paul Moon 09.06.2026

Paul Moon has been photographing the Yorkshire Wolds for years, and that depth of time in one place comes through clearly in his work. It's a landscape most people drive past without stopping, chalk valleys, dry grassland, ancient woodland and wildflower meadows, and Paul has made it his life's work to show people what they're missing. His preference for upright compositions and mid-range lenses o...

Ep 253 - Candace Dyer on Moving from Landscapes to Wildlife Conservation Photography 02.06.2026

Candace Dyar started photographing as a way to manage anxiety and depression, taking her Canon SLR out on hikes as a therapeutic outlet.

Based in Washington State, Candace now works at the intersection of wildlife photography and conservation advocacy, partnering with o...

Ep 252 - Healing through Woodland Photography with Simon Baxter 26.05.2026

Simon Baxter's path to photography wasn't straightforward. A back injury in 2012 ended his adrenaline fuelled outdoor life, mountain biking, kayaking, snowboarding, and forced him to find a slower way back to the natural world. A labradoodle puppy called Meg did exactly that. Their woodland walks around the North York Moors gave Simon something unexpected. The solitude, the complexity of trees and...

Ep 251 - Aurora & Alpine Photography with Daniel Tschurtschenthaler 19.05.2026

These days he and his wife live and travel full time in a motorhome across the US, and that nomadic life feeds directly into his work.

Ep 249 - Waterfalls & Wild Mournes with Naomi Savage 05.05.2026

Naomi Savage's photography grew out of a life in music. Shooting gigs in Belfast gave her an eye for light and timing, and after taking night classes in 2017 and learning manual settings properly, she turned that eye toward the landscapes on her doorstep in Northern Ireland. These days Naomi splits her time between solo fine art shoots around the Mourne Mountains, forests and waterfalls, and group...

Ep 248 - Minimalist Ocean Photography in the South Pacific with Brigitte Bourger 28.04.2026

What followed was a move away from accounting and into full-time wildlife photography, guiding, and bespoke trip design across Africa and beyond. Her approach has evolved significantly over time. Where documentary instincts once dominated, she now embraces slower, more artistic techniques — including ICM and slow s...

Ep 245 - Sandra Bartocha: Why Intimate Details Beat Grand Vistas 07.04.2026

Sandra Bartocha: Why Intimate Details Beat Grand Vistas Sandra Bartocha grew up with a photojournalist father and a rural childhood that pointed her firmly toward nature — and away from people. That foundation shaped a practice built on emotional resonance, where intimate details, shifting light, and quiet moods matter far more than sweeping panoramas. Based in Germany, Sandra works across natural...
