Tirta Winata started photographing with his father's DSLR in Jakarta and eventually earned a Master's degree in art creation from the Jakarta Institute of Arts. His practice began as personal meditation, a way to experience solitude and freedom in nature, and gradually evolved into something he calls elemental photography.

The idea is straightforward but demanding. Tirta isolates a single element of nature in its environment, portraying it as if untouched by human intervention, the way a portrait captures a person's identity. Much of this work is minimalist black and white, shaped partly by Indonesia's long rainy season and his partial colorblindness.

In this episode Tirta talks about using constraint to expand compositional options, the challenges of applying minimalism to wider scenes, and how Indonesia's climate and infrastructure shape what's possible in the field. He also shares a delayed flight in Bali that led to a waterfall image that caught gallery attention, and his frustration with social media in an era of generative AI.

Tom Murphy grew up on a 7500 acre cattle ranch in western South Dakota, which taught him animal behaviour, a love of wide open land, and a firm conviction that chasing cows wasn't his future. He's been photographing Yellowstone since 1975 and has skied across the park three times, including a solo 175 mile, 14 day crossing in 1985.

Few photographers know Yellowstone as intimately as Tom does. He was the first person licensed to lead photography tours in the park, has donated work to the Old Faithful and Mammoth visitor centres, and has published multiple books including the Emmy nominated Silence and Solitude and the four volume Seasons of Yellowstone series.

In this episode Tom talks about his fieldwork process, giving wildlife the space to tell their own stories, and what five decades of backcountry travel in one of the world's great wilderness areas has taught him about patience, presence and the natural world.

Danielle Watson spent more than 20 years in professional sport as a tennis coach and biomechanics specialist before burnout brought him to a stop. She walked into a camera store in Melbourne one quiet afternoon, bought a DSLR without a plan, and photographed her eight week old kelpie. The images travelled further than expected and something clicked.

The years since have been serious and deliberate. A Master's degree pushed her well beyond technical skill into meaning, artist statements and immersive presentation. Working alongside Ken Duncan taught her discipline, storytelling and the responsibility of making work someone might choose to live with for years. Film and a Hasselblad system slowed her process and sharpened her intent.

In this episode Dani talks about co-founding Irid Gallery to present limited edition fine art photography at art fairs, moving from grand dramatic vistas toward atmosphere and aerial abstraction, and why she now makes far fewer images than she used to.

Saumya Kesurvala has spent 15 years as a professional designer and visual storyteller, working across brand identity, editorial and environmental graphics. Landscape photography has become his way of stepping away from screens and reconnecting with the natural world.

Growing up in a creative household and attending boarding school close to nature gave him an early appreciation for the outdoor experience itself, not just the images it produces. That philosophy shapes how he approaches long term projects, including photographing Uluru with the Milky Way core and capturing an osprey crossing the moon, both requiring serious research and pre-visualisation.

In this episode Saumya talks about valuing community over gear, navigating social media comparison, and choosing exhibition images based on the joy of making them rather than technical perfection. He also shares memorable close calls on an Iceland glacier and a near encounter with a brown snake, plus his thoughts on AI and the importance of honesty in photography.

Noelle Bennett moved from northwest England to New Zealand in 2002 and was immediately overwhelmed by the light, colour and space of her new home. A camera arrived in 2013 and she hasn't stopped since.

Now living in a tiny home in the foothills of the Southern Alps after living on a yacht her husband built in the Marlborough Sounds, Noelle seeks out quiet locations well off the tourist trail, often via off-roading and drone work to reach truly remote perspectives.

Her ICM body of work grew out of a difficult period when her husband was seriously ill, The experience of pulling that body of work together  was cathartic and ultimately earned her a Fellowship from the Photographic Society of New Zealand in 2025, their highest distinction.

In this episode Noelle talks about spontaneous feeling led shooting, her post processing work in Affinity Photo including multi-image composites and live stacking, and using competitions as a tool for focus and growth rather than validation.

Nilmini De Silva grew up in Sri Lanka, studied civil engineering at UC Berkeley, taught English in South Korea, backpacked across Europe and Asia, and eventually landed in Australia in 1998. A ten month sabbatical that included conservation photography work in South Africa, cheetah documentation in Namibia and a trip to Antarctica changed the direction of her life entirely.

She launched her first exhibition in 2011 and spent five years living and travelling Australia in a motorhome with her partner, covering stretches of the country most people never see. These days her work centres on aerial photography, flying over salt lakes, flood plains and working sheep stations by drone and light aircraft, finding abstract paintings in the Australian landscape from above.

In this episode Nilmini talks about discovering drone photography during COVID, repeated recognition in the Siena Drone Awards, how editing reveals muted aerial colour and texture, and using competitions and exhibitions as tools for honest feedback and craft development.

Circle of Light is a collaboration between six landscape and nature photographers, Anna Morgan, Charlotte Gibb, Claudia Welsch, Jennifer Renwick, Michele Sons and Sarah Marino, formed to counter the isolation that comes with landscape photography and to push the boundaries of what nature photography can express.

Their first project, the ebook The Nature of Place, brings together lead essays and dialogue style responses that read like a campfire conversation about creativity, connection to place and personal expression. It's the result of 18 months of Zoom calls, peer editing and genuine collaborative effort.

In this episode four of the six members talk about building supportive peer community, encouraging photography as expressive art rather than technique driven documentation, and why elevating diverse voices in the landscape photography world matters to them. They also discuss solitude versus community, finding honest critique networks and their thoughts on AI's growing presence in photography.

Jeffrey Tadlock grew up around cameras, his dad was an advanced amateur with a Nikon film setup, and early years photographing BMX and skateboarding events taught him camera settings before he really knew what he was doing. A decade long gap ended in 2016 when he picked up his wife's old Nikon and the fire came back.

Based in Ohio, Jeffrey has built a life around landscape photography as a creative outlet alongside a headshot business, YouTube channel and the Shutter Nonsense podcast. A sunset on Lake Erie shot on his phone was the moment that shifted his focus from documentary snapshots to images that try to convey how a place actually feels.

In this episode Jeffrey talks about his patient approach to working scenes particularly waterfalls, the value of revisiting locations like Hocking Hills and Death Valley, and why he defines success as enjoying the process rather than chasing great images. His natural, true to scene editing philosophy is refreshing too.

Warren Lloyd got his start with a Praktica SLR and a Mamiya 600mm lens in the late 1970s, learning fast because film cost money and mistakes weren't cheap. A robbery cleared out his gear and photography went quiet for years, until a 2013 road trip through southeast Australia reignited the bug for good.

Now retired and based in Bathurst, Warren has found a rich subject in the rolling countryside on his doorstep. Fog, moody light, the Capertee Valley and locations like Oberon Dam give him more than enough to work with close to home, supplemented by occasional architectural shoots in Sydney.

In this episode Warren talks about using PhotoPills to plan shoots alongside spontaneous outings, entering competitions with themed series, and using captions to promote conservation including work in an endangered grassy box woodland reserve. He also shares a practical rain tip involving shower caps and the story of a camera destroyed by a wave.

Greg Cromie first fell in love with photography at school, then stepped away while life took over. It was his wife's sudden death in 2013 that brought him back, using the camera as therapy and a way to re-engage mindfully with the world around him.

Based in Melbourne, Greg's focus is street and travel photography, roaming the city's laneways and making an annual trip to Japan to document a culture he's genuinely fascinated by. His involvement with the Australian Fujifilm community, regular blogging and paid writing for outlets like Shotkit and Lucky Straps keep his thinking sharp and his motivation strong through Melbourne winters and the harder days.

In this episode Greg talks about the ethics and safety of street photography, his minimal editing approach using Fujifilm film simulations, involvement with the Bright Festival of Photography, and how writing and shooting consistently fuel each other. He's also thoughtful about what authentic human experience means in an era of AI generated imagery.

Anna Morgan came to landscape photography via veterinary science, her own practice, and a Master's degree in Conservation Medicine from the University of Edinburgh. That research brought photography and conservation together in ways that still shape everything she does.

Now based on Vancouver Island after moving from the UK, Anna gravitates toward quiet, intimate scenes and abstract interpretations of the natural world rather than grand vistas or wildlife subjects. She chose landscapes partly to avoid disturbing animals, and partly because solitude in nature is central to her practice and her wellbeing.

In this episode Anna talks about Indigenous stewardship and why she avoids sharing precise locations, her preference for intuitive and serendipitous shooting over heavy planning, and how she defines success as opening people's hearts rather than building a large audience. She also discusses running workshops focused on authenticity, creativity and ecological connection, and the thinking behind her master's thesis on photographers' roles in conservation.

Timothy Poulton's path to landscape photography wound through graphic design, print marketing and a serious motorsport career that ended when the passion ran out. A cherry blossom shoot in Tokyo in 2007 pointed him in a new direction, and he hasn't looked back.

Best known in Australia for his Photoshop and post processing courses, Timothy has built a reputation for helping photographers master complex digital workflows and prepare work confidently for print, competition and publication. His iconic Shocking Bondi image won the International Aperture Awards in 2011 and his courses regularly sell out.

In this episode Timothy talks about building and eventually scaling back an international touring operation running up to 14 tours a year, the competitive realities and online negativity that come with a visible profile in the industry, and what he actually defines as success. His fast Photoshop based editing workflow and thoughts on photography's future amid phone cameras and AI are worth hearing too.

Joe Cornish has been photographing landscapes professionally since the early 1980s, and few people in the UK have thought more carefully or more deeply about what landscape photography actually is.

With an art school background and early influences including Ansel Adams and Edward Weston, Joe has always approached the landscape as an expressive art form rather than simple documentation. That philosophy runs through dozens of books, National Trust commissions, artist in residence projects at Fountains Abbey and Brimham Rocks, and a career that earned him an Honorary Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society.

In this episode Joe talks about cultivating curiosity and visual literacy as foundations for better photography, the value of collaboration and peer learning, and why he finds the craft of editing and printing as creatively satisfying as being out in the field. He also reflects on landscape photography's relationship to environmental change and the role images can play in helping people value the natural world.

Michael Frye has lived in or near Yosemite National Park since 1983. That kind of deep, sustained connection to a place shapes everything about how he photographs, and it shows in work that's been published in over 30 countries and featured in National Wildlife, Outdoor Photographer and American Photo among many others.

His time at the Ansel Adams Gallery was formative, bringing him into contact with photographic history, printmaking and a way of working that emphasises decisions made before the shutter rather than fixes made after. That old school foundation sits underneath everything he does, even the surreal nighttime work and high key images that sit alongside his classic landscapes.

In this episode Michael talks about conveying how a place feels rather than just how it looks, balancing planned shoots with spontaneous responses to conditions, and building a sustainable photography business alongside his wife. He's also thoughtful about growing mistrust in imagery as manipulation and AI become harder to detect.

Peter Eastway has been photographing for more than 50 years, from film era long exposures and surf photography to becoming one of Australia's most decorated and internationally recognised photographers. He's also spent four decades in publishing, running Better Photography magazine since 1995.

His concept of The New Tradition and invisible Photoshop sits at the heart of how he works, subtle, seamless post production that expands creative control without drawing attention to itself. It's an approach that's earned him a Grand Master of Photography title and ambassadorships with Phase One, Canon, Adobe and others.

In this episode Peter talks about using projects to guide shooting, building a database of ideas by studying other artists, and why he makes work for himself rather than for judges. He's also refreshingly candid about the business realities of professional photography, his practical view of AI as a tool, and the difference between running workshops and photo tours.

Scott Leggo's path to becoming one of Australia's most recognised landscape photographers took in an Air Force career, frontline service, high performance aerobatic aircraft and a stint as a diplomat. The discipline and attention to detail from those years transfers directly into how he runs his photography business today.

Based in Canberra with a gallery, a team and over a million photos sold, Scott has built something genuinely rare, a commercially successful artist led business with Australian landscape photography at its core.

In this episode Scott talks about simplifying compositions by eliminating distractions, scouting on location rather than over planning, and how customer demand shapes his work more than personal preference. He also covers a successful COVID era jigsaw puzzle pivot, safety in remote environments and why conveying emotion has always been a bigger challenge for him than mastering camera settings.

Alfonso Calero grew up in Manila with National Geographic on the coffee table and his father's camera in his hands. After moving to Australia at 15 and spending a year travelling Europe, he eventually turned a lifelong passion into a professional photography career at 30.

The path there wound through hotel porter work and tour guiding across multiple languages, and it's that background in connecting with people and places that shapes everything he does. His photo walks grew from a single Sydney outing into a national business now operating across six Australian cities and internationally in destinations including Tasmania, the Philippines, Japan, Spain and the Faroe Islands.

In this episode Alfonso talks about using the camera to build empathy with local communities, the importance of returning to a location repeatedly to truly understand it, and the logistics of running photography experiences that work for complete beginners and experienced shooters alike.

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, minutes from Banff National Park, he photographs aurora, storm light and the fleeting moments that most people never slow down enough to see.

In this episode James talks about balancing the creative pull of the Rockies with prairie landscapes, how a Discord community accelerated his improvement through honest critique, the gap between social media growth and actual print sales, and how he's building a print based business while keeping his storytelling authentically human amid the spread of AI imagery.

David Baker started with a small digital camera photographing standing stones. Early photo blogging and the feedback it generated gradually shifted his focus from simple documentation toward images that convey how a place actually feels.

Based in rural Aberdeenshire after a lifetime on the south coast of England, David works exclusively in long term projects, each with its own constraints and parameters. Five books published, more than 20 exhibitions including three appearances at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, and an Arts Council funded solo show at Southampton City Art Gallery mark out a serious and sustained practice.

In this episode David talks about using mapped circles, triangles and specific times as creative constraints, the role of instinct over heavy planning, and why printing and handmade books are the essential final step in his process. He also reflects on how moving to northeast Scotland changed his subjects while keeping his project based approach completely intact.

Tim Cooper is a full time picture framer based in northwest Tasmania who spends as much time as possible in the Tarkine, one of the most significant and threatened wilderness regions in the Southern Hemisphere.

Since 2016 his photography has focused on the rainforests, rivers and rugged coastlines of this ancient landscape and the very real threats it faces from logging, mining and climate driven fire. His work documents not just the landscape but activists, burn scars and threatened species like the swift parrot, images built around conservation impact rather than likes.

In this episode Tim talks about the challenges of working full time while pursuing serious landscape and wildlife photography, how selling at markets helped him refine his personal style and curation, and why he believes the printed image is where photography's real power lies. He's also candid about careful location sharing and the responsibility that comes with photographing sensitive environments.

Kévin Pagès took a winding road to Iceland. Born in Spain, raised in France, a year in New Zealand sparked his passion for photography, and studies in Montreal turned it into a career. He's been based in Iceland for eight years now and shows no signs of leaving.

His early studio work and cinematic portrait style have evolved into abstract landscape photography, often using drones to explore the shapes and patterns of glacier rivers from above. It's distinctive work that earned him Sony Emerging Photographer of the Year in 2016/2017 and a Broncolor GenNext ambassadorship.

In this episode Kevin talks about co-founding Arctic Journeys, a private Jeep based photo tour company, his go with the flow approach to shooting in unpredictable weather, and the realities of pricing, licensing and admin that come with running a photography business. He also shares his thoughts on AI and the growing pressures of social media.

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 over wide angles suits the Wolds perfectly, a landscape defined by twisting forms, shadows and intimate detail rather than grand panoramas.

In this episode Paul talks about his long term project focused on Millington Pastures and plans for a self-published book, the influences of Joe Cornish and David Ward on his thinking, and how photography has deepened his understanding of local geology, flora and environmental change including ash dieback. He also touches on navigating access issues with gamekeepers and building relationships with local landowners.

Candace Dyar started photographing as a way to manage anxiety and depression, taking her Canon SLR out on hikes as a therapeutic outlet. That early connection to nature, combined with an art history background, gradually shaped a practice with a much bigger purpose.

Based in Washington State, Candace now works at the intersection of wildlife photography and conservation advocacy, partnering with organisations like the World Wildlife Fund and Defenders of Wildlife to draw attention to threatened species and the ecological importance of apex predators. A wolf encounter in Yellowstone in October 2021 was a turning point that shifted her focus decisively toward wildlife.

In this episode Candace talks about using images and captions to challenge misinformation about wolves, educating people on coexistence and the reality of living alongside predators, running workshops in wild places, and balancing the admin side of a photography business with actually getting out and shooting.

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 the therapeutic benefits of time spent among them became the foundation of an entire career. He's now recognised as one of the world's leading woodland photographers.

In this episode Simon talks about moving from craftsman to artist, using composition to speak for the trees rather than simply document them. He discusses shooting locally to learn a woodland's rhythms, the mycorrhizal wood wide web as creative inspiration, and building a sustainable business through YouTube, workshops, books and prints alongside his involvement in the 6-1-7 Club with Thomas Heaton.

Daniel Tschurtschenthaler has spent 20 years photographing the Dolomites from his home in Sexten, and it shows. He sees the landscape in frames constantly, and that deep familiarity with a place comes through in his work.

A former painter and varnisher, Daniel turned his hobby into a full time career and now runs his own showroom in Sesto. He was also the subject of a three year Servus TV documentary about his life and practice, released in 2022.

In this episode Daniel talks about using paragliding to read weather and reach high alpine locations, sleeping on peaks to photograph Milky Way arches, and the aurora fever that gripped him after photographing the northern lights over the Dolomites for the first time in 2023. He's also candid about processing philosophy, the problem of AI imagery and why he won't share sensitive wildlife locations.

Zac Henderson has been shooting since he was 15, starting on his mother's film camera. 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.

Zac's photography is rooted in astrophysics, geological time and the kind of perspective shifts that come from thinking seriously about humanity's place in the cosmos. That draws him to deserts, rock formations and volcanic landscapes, places that feel like they could exist on another planet entirely.

In this episode he talks about his abstract Dark Matter series using magnets and iron filings, how recent high quality space imagery has influenced his thinking, and his experiments with full spectrum and infrared photography. He's also honest about the challenge of making work that communicates clearly in an era of AI generated imagery.

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 hikes with The Mourne Hikers where the pace and storytelling are completely different. She's open about photography being good for her mental health and is balancing a day job alongside dedicated shooting days.

In this episode she talks about tough hikes like Carrauntoohil and the Devil's Coach Road, influences like Henry Turner and Alex Nail, accurate color and natural edits for print, and using film photography to reset when digital starts to feel stale.

Brigitte Bourger spent over 35 years as a pharmacist in French Polynesia before devoting herself fully to photography. Living in Tahiti gives her direct access to some of the world's most extraordinary marine environments, and that proximity shapes everything she does.

Her Ephémères Impressions project, a minimalist series exploring the fragility of Pacific marine life, resulted in a sold-out book that won gold at both PX3 Paris and TIFA Tokyo. It's serious, internationally recognised work built around color, abstraction and a deep concern for environmental fragility.

In this episode Brigitte talks about finding her direction through workshops in Japan, the influence of Michael Kenna on her thinking, and how an instinct led, tripod and filter based process defines her approach. She also reflects on the challenge of earning recognition as a photographer in an era of image overload and AI.

Audrey Wilson has been passionate about photography since picking up a film camera at 13. Based near the coast in California, her work spans seascapes, beach sunsets, birds and macro photography and it's that range that keeps her creative spark alive.

A member of OCScapers in Orange County, Audrey values the shared knowledge and camaraderie that comes from shooting alongside fellow photographers. In this episode she talks about how studying other photographers helped her move beyond flat images, building depth through leading lines, foreground interest and intentional composition.

Travel shapes the atmosphere and memories she tries to convey, particularly the feeling of ocean movement in her seascapes. Away from the camera Audrey works as an accountant, and photography has become a welcome antidote to that world.

Laura Dyer's photography began with a single wild dog sighting — and never stopped. 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 shutter — to bring emotional depth to wildlife imagery. She also champions the value of landscape within wildlife photography, arguing that a strong sense of place elevates a single animal moment into something far more resonant.

In this conversation, Laura reflects on the mentorship and community that shaped her early years in South Africa, and how extended time in Kenya during COVID became an unexpected creative laboratory. She's candid about the realities of the industry — the algorithm pressures of social media, the severe toll tourism shutdowns took on local communities, and the logistical demands of running a photography business.

She also shares close encounters with elephants and polar bears, her commitment to ethical risk management, and how switching subjects and constraints can completely renew creative inspiration.

A former accountant turned full-time photographer and guide, Laura's story is one of deliberate reinvention — and a deepening attention to the natural world.

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 landscapes, forests, plants, and abstract imagery, always with the same underlying intention: to evoke feeling rather than record fact. She builds her work in long-form bodies — books, exhibitions, audiovisual shows — rather than chasing the rhythms of social media. Her LYS project, a years-long exploration of northern Europe, resulted in both a 45-minute audiovisual presentation and a substantial coffee table book.

In this conversation, Sandra discusses photographing locally, her preference for forests and the sea, and why she keeps post-processing minimal by focusing on getting things right in-camera. She reflects on what success actually means to her — personal expression and time spent outdoors — and speaks candidly about navigating a male-dominated field. She also considers where photography is heading amid AI and a renewed interest in film.

A deeply considered photographer whose work has been recognised in Wildlife Photographer of the Year multiple times, Sandra's approach is a reminder that restraint and intention are creative strengths.

Bill Ward is a multi-award-winning creative photographer and professional actor from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England. Known for his pioneering work with Intentional Camera Movement (ICM), Bill’s photography explores energy, motion, and emotion—particularly through his long-running ocean project that culminated in the book Immersive, published in 2025.

While many recognise Bill for his acting career—most notably his roles as Charlie Stubbs in Coronation Street and James Barton in Emmerdale—photography has become an equally important creative outlet. For Bill, photography offers a quiet counterbalance to the public nature of acting, allowing him to explore solitude, reflection, and connection to place.

In this episode, Bill Ward discusses balancing two demanding creative careers while touring theatre productions such as The Shawshank Redemption. He shares how travelling for acting roles inspired numerous photographic projects, including a 16-year exploration of theatres and a pandemic-era book created in collaboration with the Theatres Trust.

Bill also explains his fascination with photographing water using long exposures and intentional camera movement, creating images that focus less on representation and more on feeling. His approach centres on time, immersion, and emotional connection to the landscape rather than simply documenting a scene.

Alongside his photographic work, Bill is a judge for the UK Landscape Photographer of the Year awards, leads workshops internationally, and continues to exhibit in galleries across the UK. His perspective highlights photography as a deeply personal practice—one rooted in quiet observation, creative experimentation, and the search for moments of stillness.

Mick Fortier is a Newcastle-based landscape and aerial photographer whose work is driven by a deep personal connection to both creativity and healing. A licensed drone pilot accredited by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), Mick creates striking aerial imagery that reveals familiar environments from powerful new perspectives. His photography spans landscapes, marine life, storms, and astrophotography, reflecting a desire to continually explore and stay creatively engaged.

Photography became especially meaningful following Mick’s eight-year policing career, which ended after he experienced PTSD. Returning to the camera provided a therapeutic outlet, helping him reconnect with himself and the natural world. Early inspiration from his father’s darkroom and the iconic Australian landscape work of Ken Duncan shaped his artistic direction and appreciation for the emotional impact of imagery.

Mick further developed his skills while studying photography at NSW TAFE, where mentorship and formal training refined his editing workflow and creative process. Drone photography became a defining part of his work, allowing him to capture dynamic coastal environments and dramatic ocean scenes that are otherwise inaccessible.

In this episode, Mick Fortier shares how photography supported his recovery, the lessons learned from challenging field experiences, and his perspective on authenticity in editing. He also discusses selling fine art prints through local gallery partnerships and why photography continues to play a vital role in his wellbeing and creative identity.

Andrew Vukosav is an Australian aerial landscape photographer whose work offers a radically different perspective on the continent, moving beyond traditional outback clichés to reveal abstract, surreal, and often fragile interpretations of the land. Flying solo into some of the most remote regions of Australia, Andrew undertakes journeys that can last days or even weeks, photographing coastlines, deserts, salt pans, and geological formations from directly overhead.

With over four decades of experience as a commercial photographer and a lifelong passion for aviation, Andrew engineered a unique photographic system by mounting a 150MP medium format camera into the underbelly of his single-engine aircraft. In this setup, the entire plane effectively becomes the camera body, banking and pitching into position for each image. The result is a visual language that feels unframed and immersive, as if the viewer is suspended in open air rather than looking through a cockpit window.

Andrew’s work explores the tension between fluidity and permanence—estuaries swirl like clouds, salt lakes resemble glaciers, and deserts appear both vast and delicate. Beneath the visual abstraction lies a deeper intent: to document the environmental fragility of Australia’s landscapes and encourage dialogue around sustainability and conservation.

In this episode, Andrew Vukosav discusses combining engineering with photography, navigating extreme isolation, researching geology and Indigenous land significance, and how encounters with artists at the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards reshaped his creative direction. He also shares insights into international exhibitions, including DFAT-supported tours and climate-focused events, and why minimal digital manipulation remains central to his process.

Ellen van den Doel is a dedicated landscape photographer from the Netherlands, based in Sommelsdijk on the island of Goeree-Overflakkee. Photography has been a central part of her life since 2009 and remains a source of daily inspiration, balance, and creative fulfilment. Living by the sea, Ellen is deeply drawn to coastal environments, where rhythm, light, and atmosphere shape much of her visual language.

Her work is best known for its calm, minimalist aesthetic and extensive use of long exposure techniques. By working with neutral density filters and natural light, Ellen creates images that express mood, tranquillity, and a strong sense of place. While technical knowledge plays an important role in her process, her core philosophy centres on enjoyment, curiosity, and truly experiencing the landscape rather than simply capturing it.

Before becoming a full-time photography educator, Ellen built a long career in teaching and sports. With a background in gymnastics and physiotherapy, she spent over 25 years working as a teacher and coach. This foundation in education naturally evolved into photography, where she now leads workshops, photo tours, and lectures across Europe.

Since 2015, Ellen has been guiding photographers in the field, and since 2020 she has been closely involved with the Dutch Photo Academy, organising trips and educational programs. Known for her approachable and down-to-earth teaching style, she focuses on helping photographers slow down, observe light more carefully, and develop a deeper personal connection with the landscape.

In this episode, Ellen discusses her creative journey, photographing in extreme environments like Iceland, balancing business with passion, and why teaching remains just as meaningful to her as making images.

Antoinette Koutsomihalis, better known as Toni Kouts, is an international award-winning fine art landscape photographer based in Sydney, Australia, whose work is deeply rooted in emotion, intuition, and lived experience. With a background in welfare and a lifelong artistic practice, Antoinette approaches photography not just as a visual medium, but as a space for reflection, healing, and connection.

Her photographic journey began in her aunt’s darkroom, where she first discovered the power of images to hold memory and feeling. Since then, photography has become both a creative language and a personal refuge—one shaped by observation, integrity, and emotional depth.

In this episode, Antoinette shares how photography became a tool for mental health, self-expression, and personal transformation. She opens up about the influence of her welfare work and her experience with breast cancer, and how both have profoundly informed the way she sees the natural world and creates art.

Antoinette speaks honestly about authenticity in photography, the pressure of social media, and her desire to create work that prioritises emotional resonance over external validation. She reflects on travel, stillness, and the importance of approaching landscapes with respect and presence.

This conversation explores photography as a quiet, intuitive practice—one that invites viewers not just to look, but to feel, breathe, and walk a little further into the deeper stories of the natural world.

Michael Schultz is a wildlife, aurora, and landscape photographer based in Alaska, where vast wilderness and glowing winter skies shape both his life and his work. Featured by National Geographic, Michael is widely recognised for his expertise in photographing the Northern Lights and capturing remote landscapes that feel raw, quiet, and deeply immersive.

Originally drawn to the outdoors rather than photography, Michael found the camera became a way to preserve emotional experiences rather than simply record locations. His work is rooted in honest storytelling, natural light, and a strong connection to place—focusing on how landscapes feel, not just how they look.

In this episode, Michael shares his journey from avid outdoorsman to full-time professional photographer and workshop leader. He discusses the challenges and rewards of long exposure photography, especially in extreme Arctic conditions, and how photographing aurora requires patience, presence, and technical precision.

Michael also reflects on leading small-group photography workshops through Alaska and beyond, helping photographers slow down, connect with nature, and create meaningful images rather than chasing trends. He explores the impact of social media and AI on photography, and why authentic experiences and real human connections remain central to his creative philosophy.

This conversation offers insight into photographing some of the most spectacular natural phenomena on Earth, while staying grounded in purpose, presence, and storytelling.

Over the past decade, Matt Jackisch has combined his love of travel, adventure, and storytelling through the language of landscape photography. He finds a unique satisfaction in uncovering visual harmony between geometry and light, describing the process as similar to solving a mathematical equation. His approach is grounded in exploration, patience, and precise timing, allowing him to interpret nature through moments of clarity and visual balance.

Time spent in remote environments has shaped Matt’s worldview, fostering a deep awareness of humanity’s relationship with the natural world. He recognises the fragility of Earth’s remaining original ecosystems and sees his work as a way of preserving their memory. Through his images, Matt seeks to express simplicity, order, reverence, and at times, raw power—qualities he believes reflect the true essence of nature’s design.

Matt is committed to honest visual storytelling. While he uses advanced digital techniques to overcome technical limitations, his priority remains the integrity of the scene and the authenticity of human perception. Photography, for him, is not about creating fantasy but revealing deeper layers of reality. Guided by mentors early in his journey, he now shares his knowledge through workshops and creative critiques. His photographic pursuits have taken him across the Himalayas, Patagonia, Greenland, the Faroe Islands, Pakistan, Lebanon, and beyond. Alongside his creative life, Matt has worked as an Air Traffic Controller since 2004 and is currently based in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Helen Sear is a Royal Academician and internationally recognised artist whose work explores the fragile co-existence between human, animal, and natural environments. Rooted in Magic Realism, Surrealism, and Conceptual Art, Helen’s practice challenges traditional ideas of photography, perception, and visual storytelling.

Originally trained in Fine Art at Reading University and the Slade School of Art (UCL), Helen first gained prominence in the late 1980s through mixed-media installation, performance, and video. Her photographic work reached international attention in the landmark British Council exhibition De-Composition: Constructed Photography in Britain, which toured Latin America and Eastern Europe in 1991.

Photography remains central to her practice, yet Helen uses it in unconventional ways—questioning fixed-point perspective and the dominance of the camera lens. Her work often incorporates painting, sculptural elements, and layered imagery to activate emotional and sensory responses beyond pure visual representation.

In what I felt was a captivating discussion, Helen reveals how her unique journey through fine art and alternative media led her to create immersive photographic works. 

Helen shares insights on navigating the art world, the significance of exhibiting work, and the lifelong creative exploration driving her art. 

We gains a rare insight into a career driven by experimentation, emotional depth, and a lifelong commitment to expanding what photography can be.

Deeply shaped by Australia’s outback, Adam Edwards approaches landscape photography with patience, resilience, and intention. The harsh, unpredictable environment of the outback has influenced not only how Adam photographs, but how he teaches—working creatively with imperfect conditions and finding meaning in every frame.

Adam has committed himself fully to photography, spending years refining both his fieldcraft and post-processing to create images that feel authentic and personal. In 2025, he took a major step by opening a gallery in Broken Hill. More than a showcase for his work, the gallery serves as a creative hub—celebrating the region, fostering connection, and supporting a growing photographic community in the outback.

In this conversation, Adam reflects on moving from passionate hobbyist to full-time professional, sharing stories of photographing extreme weather, managing a gallery, and embracing the realities of a creative business. He speaks openly about the importance of mindfulness, intentional image-making, and developing a personal style that reflects lived experience rather than trends.

Teaching and mentoring now sit at the heart of Adam’s practice. Through workshops and one-on-one guidance, he prioritises real feedback, human connection, and community—values he believes are increasingly vital in an online-driven world. For Adam, photography is about far more than the finished image; it’s about process, place, and the people who shape the journey.

Jon Norris is a seasoned landscape photographer whose approach blends technical precision with thoughtful artistic intent. First picking up a camera at 14, Jon’s creative path has been shaped by his background as a former aerospace engineer, giving him a deep understanding of both the mechanics and the meaning behind an image.

Based in Southern California, Jon spends much of his time exploring and photographing places like Joshua Tree National Park. His philosophy centres on slowing down, learning to truly see, and building the confidence to create images that feel personal rather than camera-driven. For Jon, landscape photography is not about chasing icons, but about developing consistency, intention, and a visual voice that reflects the photographer behind the lens.

In this conversation, Jon discusses balancing a demanding corporate career in aviation with a long-term passion for photography, eventually reshaping his priorities around creativity and personal fulfilment. He shares insights into teaching workshops, navigating increasing restrictions in protected landscapes, and why he chose to step away from social media to reconnect with authentic creative practice.

Jon also explores his growing interest in medium format film, the value of setting personal photographic goals, and the responsibility photographers carry to protect the wild places that inspire their work. His perspective is grounded, reflective, and refreshingly honest.

Based in the Chiltern Hills, just outside London, Robin is drawn to places of quiet complexity—believing the British countryside offers some of the most rewarding and expressive landscapes in the world. His photography balances structure and spontaneity, revealing calm and clarity within seemingly chaotic natural environments.

Entirely self-taught, Robin’s relationship with photography began at 14, developing film in his bedroom. A formative period living in Cold War Berlin shaped his visual philosophy, teaching him how creative freedom can exist even within physical and conceptual constraints. That mindset continues to inform his approach to composition and visual storytelling today.

Robin’s work has received significant national recognition, including winning UK Landscape Photographer of the Year 2021 (Your View) and British Wildlife Photography Awards 2024 (Black & White), alongside multiple shortlistings and touring exhibitions with Forestry England. His photographs are widely exhibited across the UK and featured in major publications.

In this conversation, Robin explores the emotional pull of the landscape, the role of weather, and the importance of slowing down to truly see composition. He also discusses printmaking, mentoring, woodland workshops, and his recently published eBook, Order in the Chaos. His insights reflect a thoughtful, grounded practice shaped by patience, curiosity, and deep connection to place.

Tasmanian wilderness photographer Cam Blake reflects on a lifetime shaped by the landscapes of Australia, beginning with childhood explorations in Northeast Victoria. Now an accredited and commercially licensed photographer, Cam is known for his deep connection to remote places and for capturing the raw, rugged character of Tasmania’s wild environments. His imagery has appeared in major publications including Australian Geographic, Olympus UK/US, and WILD Outdoor Magazine, showcasing both his technical skill and his profound respect for nature.

Cam explains that he has always approached photography with a scientific curiosity rather than a purely artistic mindset, yet the emotional pull of the natural world remains at the heart of his work. Beyond creating images, he is dedicated to helping others grow as photographers. Through multi-day workshops across Tasmania and mainland Australia, he offers hands-on guidance, inspiring participants to develop their craft while immersing themselves in spectacular wilderness settings.

He speaks candidly about the realities of running a photography business, the importance of preserving memories through images, and the therapeutic value photography can offer in an increasingly fast-paced world.

Peak District–based photographer Andy Gray shares how a lifelong artistic instinct, shaped by early landscape painting and a later career in manufacturing and engineering, ultimately led him back to creative expression through photography. Beginning his photographic path in 2004, Andy’s practice remained slow and reflective for many years, guided more by observation and study than by constant shooting. A formative trip to Lapland to witness the northern lights reignited his momentum, but it wasn’t until leaving manufacturing after 2018 that photography became a central focus of his life.

During the 2020–21 lockdown period, Andy turned his attention to the woodland surrounding his home, creating an evolving body of work built through repeated visits across changing seasons. This deep familiarity with place led to his breakthrough image Winter Pathway, which won a major prize at the 2021 Landscape Photographer of the Year competition and toured nationally throughout the UK.

Andy speaks about capturing atmosphere over spectacle, the importance of patience, and how working close to home reshaped his creative vision. For him, photography is about transporting viewers into the emotional presence of a place through light, weather, and quiet moments.

Scottish photographer Grant Bulloch shares how his creative path developed from early artistic curiosity into a deep connection with the landscapes of the Highlands and Islands. While his work is rooted in Scotland’s natural environment, Grant also finds creative fulfilment photographing urban spaces, architectural details, and events. He reflects on the way shifting weather, fleeting light, and moody atmosphere influence both his shooting decisions and emotional response to place.

Grant speaks openly about the importance of storytelling, not just through dramatic scenes but also through quieter, more abstract subjects such as boats, waterlines, and weathered rock formations. These details, he explains, often reveal deeper narratives when approached with patience and intention. The conversation also explores the challenges of exhibiting work publicly, learning to trust your creative voice, and remaining authentic in a competitive field.

Recognition through multiple national competitions has helped validate his long-term dedication, yet Grant emphasises that awards are secondary to the personal connection he builds with each image. His work continues to evolve through repeated returns to the same locations, allowing familiarity to foster deeper creative insight.

Throughout the discussion, Grant highlights photography as both a reflective practice and a visual language — one that allows him to interpret landscape not just as scenery, but as an evolving emotional environment shaped by light, weather, memory, and time.

South Australian landscape photographer David Dahlenburg explores a creative life shaped by curiosity, emotional connection, and a deep respect for the natural world. David reflects on how his passion for photography began during a three-month journey through the UK and Europe with a 35mm film camera — an experience that sparked a fascination with crafting images that feel both captivating and mysterious. His travels through Peru, the USA, New Zealand, and across Australia helped refine his eye and ultimately led to receiving the 2019 South Australian AIPP Emerging Photographer of the Year award.

David shares how creativity has always been central to who he is, from songwriting and performing in bands to now creating visual artworks that encourage personal interpretation. He speaks about his love for images that hold unanswered questions, inviting viewers to find their own meaning within the frame.

Spending long, quiet moments in remote environments has also reshaped the way he sees the world. For David, waiting for light in the wilderness is both grounding and reflective — a reminder of the fragility and value of the landscapes he photographs.

He also discusses the joy of knowing that his artwork hangs in homes across Australia and beyond, a meaningful affirmation of the emotional connection his images create. Through his thoughtful process and deep appreciation for the environment, David demonstrates how photography can open conversations and inspire a closer relationship with the natural world.

Brisbane photographer Dallas Grenenger reveals a creative life shaped by stillness, simplicity, and a deep appreciation for quiet moments. Dallas reflects on how his earliest experiences — photographing flowers, family, and road trips with a small Kodak camera — planted a spark that resurfaced years later when he picked up a mirrorless camera and began teaching himself the craft.

Dallas describes himself as naturally introverted, and photography has become his way of expressing something personal without noise or pressure. He shares how he gravitates toward calm, contemplative scenes, favouring black and white images for their ability to strip away distraction and bring light, texture, and emotion to the forefront. Long-exposure work plays a key role in his style, allowing him to slow time, soften movement, and create images that feel reflective and slightly surreal.

Whether crafting fine art pieces, portraits, or commercial projects, Dallas approaches each frame with the same quiet intentionality — clean compositions, space to breathe, and mood shaped by natural light. Beyond photography, he talks about his love of cycling, exploring new places at a slower pace, and the way these experiences feed into his creative mindset.

Through his thoughtful process and grounded perspective, Dallas reminds us that photography is as much about paying attention as it is about making images — an invitation to pause and notice the quiet beauty in everyday scenes.
