I welcomed San Francisco photographer Subha Joshi to Wildlife Conversations for Episode 22! Her stunning work captures everything from Alaskan bears, wolves, hummingbirds, foxes, and bison to intimate lupine meadows and foggy urban landscapes.

Based in San Francisco and an engineer by training, Subha found her love of photography in 2019. It started with a friend’s daughter’s birthday party and then a visit to a local camera club; her story will resonate with you, I’m sure.

A Canon shooter, she loves photographing wildlife, birds, and intimate/abstract landscapes and strives to be able to find a scene worth capturing anywhere. 

Subha and I met quickly last summer in Alaska, her favorite place to shoot, and I can’t for you to listen to her story!

We discuss:

• Finding her voice behind the lens
• Seeing the beauty in ordinary things each day and challenging yourself to make an image

• Photographing what one likes, not what Instagram likes

• Photographing ethically 
• How photography helps our mental health

• Creating and taking up space as a woman

• Photographing locally and finding a camera club and mentor

• LIVE Q&A and the speed round, plus so much more!
