Ep 156 - Tania Malkin on Capturing Australia's Beauty Through Aerial Landscape Photography

7/23/2024
Tania Malkin's passion for photography began early, collecting travel postcards on family camping trips around Western Australia and receiving her first SLR camera at seven. Inspired by the Australian outback's colors and the Australian Impressionist art movement, Tania's interest in photography and art has been a significant part of her life journey. Initially studying fine art and art history, she used photographic images as references for her paintings. However, landscape photography, particularly aerial photography, took precedence in the late '90s. Living and working in remote locations has given Tania the opportunity to explore and capture stunning landscapes, creating artworks across various mediums, including photography, painting, and ceramics. Tania describes aerial images as illustrations of the landscape in a completely different way, offering a journey through the history of a landscape that oscillates between the surreal and reality.. Tania's work is renowned for its unique perspectives and storytelling through images, capturing the essence of the landscapes she explores. She continues to shape her approach to landscape photography, offering a glimpse into the future of the art form. We discuss her experiences working with Fujifilm, her transition from terrestrial to aerial photography, and the logistical and creative challenges that come with it. We touch on her approach to planning shoots, her philosophy on storytelling through images, the business side of photography, and her struggles with pricing and marketing her work along with lots more.

Inspired by medium format panoramic photographers, he adopted a medium format slide film camera in 2010, dedicating himself to mastering its nuances and the discipline required for film photography. In 2018, on a family holiday in Western Australia, a chartered flight over Hutt Lagoon revealed stunning textures and colors, igniting his fascination with the aerial perspective. This new pursuit led him to travel across Australia, capturing diverse landscapes, from cloud inversions in Kosciuszko National Park to dramatic tidal ranges in the Kimberley. Aerial photography, though challenging, offered unique rewards.

Ep 138 - Diverse Landscapes Captured Beautifully by Verity Milligan

3/19/2024
On this week’s episode I’m joined by Verity Milligan, an acclaimed professional photographer and content creator based in Birmingham, UK. Renowned for capturing the richness of the natural world, she works both locally and internationally for recognized brands. Verity's signature lies in revealing the essence of diverse locations, be it Birmingham's skyline, the rugged Outer Hebrides, or the serene Lake District. Through masterful use of light and composition, she crafts images that evoke mood and draw viewers into the scene. Having traversed the UK, from the Scottish Highlands to the hills of Worcestershire, Verity is driven to capture the UK’s natural beauty with a keen eye and a passion for storytelling. Verity recounts her early experiences in genealogy, cinema and lecturing before turning to photography, initially as a stress outlet and eventually as a full-fledged career. She eloquently describes the allure of being out in nature, capturing images that resonate with her passion for the outdoors. We discuss the combative nature of imposter syndrome and the importance of authenticity, motivation and human connection in photography. Verity also gives insightful thoughts on her experiences with YouTube video production and shares potential challenges facing the future of photography. I hope you enjoy the show!

Ep 137 - Sparking Creativity & Inspiration with Kim Grant

3/12/2024
This week I’m speaking with Kim Grant, an inspiring landscape photographer, podcast host, and creator of Photographic Connections. Kim's profound connection with nature began in North East Scotland, using photography as a therapeutic escape from anxiety at age 16. Growing up in North East Scotland, Kim's life has always been deeply rooted in nature. Throughout her journey she has developed a close relationship with it and works in harmony with nature to ground herself and express her creativity. As her passion evolved, she found it providing solace during a career in healthcare. Kim's approach to photography prioritizes emotion and connection over technicalities, and she now dedicates herself to connecting others with the healing power of photography, sharing her wisdom on YouTube and the Photographic Connections podcast. We discuss finding her niche within the field of Landscape Photography, how she got started with Youtube and Podcasting and the importance of self authenticity when establishing a photography business.
