| Wildlife Conversations Episode 14 with Syler Peralta-Ramos |

Loved having photographer and guide Syler Peralta-Ramos on for episode 14 of the podcast! A native of the Jackson, Wyoming, area, he grew up next to two of the most beautiful National Parks in the U.S. and now guides clients there and in Alaska with his company Pangea Expeditions. 

We discussed. . .

• His journey to photography and creativity from a young age, college, and then now

• The building of a guide company business and his heart for teaching and connecting clients with beauty and the natural world in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and Alaska

• The need to have your work do more than make money, but also have a positive impact

• Some of his favorite images and experiences like one with the matriarch of the Tetons, Grizzly 399

• Ethics and competition in wildlife photography

• The concept of wildlife photography as art and the pursuit of creative processes

• Being grateful for moments in nature and enjoying the experience, which can free you up creatively

• Not expecting perfect shots all the time and high keeper rates - but embracing that there is room to learn, explore, and play 

• Submitted questions and the speed round
