My guest today is Jack Kaido. He is not just a digital abstract artist, he lives for abstract art. According to him, the chaotic and unstructured elements we often see in abstract forms are more aligned with the natural order of things than the structured world we typically perceive. This notion deeply influences his work, inviting us to view his art not just as expressions of individual thought, but as reflections of the universe's fundamental nature. His pieces not only draw the eye but spark the mind, exploring the complex interplay between technology and creativity. Today, Jack is here to tell us a little bit about his life, and his art!

My guest today is Nakul Sharma, a Delhi-based photographer who, in my view, is the undisputed master of composition, light and color. Nakul has journeyed through landscapes far and wide, from the serene mountains of Spiti Valley to the bustling streets of Vietnam. His work isn't just about photographs; it's about storytelling, conveying powerful narratives through each frame.

My guest today is Ole Haugland, a Norwegian artist whose photography captures the essence of nature's resilience and togetherness. Ole has a multimedia background, with experience as video editor and graphic designer, but has for the past eight years focused and honed his craft as a photographer with a focus on the smaller more intimate scenes of the southern region of Norway and its diverse landscape. Ole is a hidden gem in the art world, with talents that go way beyond photography. He is also a passionate cook, almost at a professional level, and he’s been playing guitar for more than ten years. You could say he is a unique blend of passion, talent and exploration.

My guest today is Nathan Bauman. Originating from the heartlands of Ohio, his work brings to life the forgotten rural landscapes of America. Nathan’s photos capture not just the places he's been but also the deep emotions of the people he's met.

Nathan sees beauty in the genuine and unrefined. His choice to use film in a digital world highlights the realness he brings to every image.

My guest today is Nick de Jonge, an aerial and landscape photographer living in the Netherlands. Speaking of aerial: in his spare time, Nick is an airline pilot. He skillfully combines his passion for air travel and photography by creating enchanting views from above.

But Nick also likes to be close to the ground. His early morning landscape shots and colorful flower portraits are wonderfully relaxing, almost meditative.

My guest today is Jerad Armijo, also known as “Away I Flew”. Jerad lives in New Mexico and shoots landscapes like you have never seen before. Seriously. His photographs are like abstract paintings, often with a pastel color palette, and soft light. But there’s an unseen chord that strings these visuals together – Synesthesia, Jerad’s secret superpower. His camera doesn’t just capture landscapes; it explores the unvoiced rhythm of nature, drawing out a harmony that lies hidden in the everyday view.

Here are some of Jerad's artworks and pieces mentioned in the episode:

"Misfit," a piece featured on Super Rare, which Jerad describes as a warm, happy piece that reflects his acceptance of being a misfit, with a colorful array of puzzled pieces shaping his circular soul1​.

"Bloom," a single exposure shot that defies the common assumption about composite photography, showcasing Jerad's skill in painting with color to create abstract landscapes​​.

Throughout the podcast, Jerad mentions several artists you should follow:

My guest today is Tara Workman, a nature photographer living in the Pacific North West. Tara’s landscapes shine with unassuming simplicity and minimalism, some of them look like abstract paintings. Despite using a toned down, pastel color palette, Tara manages to display sharp contrasts and she uses shadows like a scalpel.

Speaking of which, in her free time Tara is a medical doctor and as such a family medicine physician. You can find her works on ⁠Foundation⁠ and ⁠SuperRare⁠, and I implore you to closely follow her ⁠Twitter account⁠!
