Escape the cubicle and dive into the wild life you've always dreamed of! 🌊 Join Jaedon in this inspiring episode of Working With Wildlife as he chats with James Lowe, an eco-tourism business owner and passionate underwater photographer based in Cape Town, South Africa—or as he calls it, "Kelp Town." James shares his incredible journey from a self-proclaimed shy geology graduate to a globally-traveled expedition lecturer on cruise ships, a role that forced him to overcome his fear of public speaking in a spectacularly memorable, sweat-inducing moment!

Discover how an initial, expensive leap of faith into underwater photography led to a thriving career documenting the biodiverse beauty of the Cape Peninsula's kelp forests. James dives deep into his unique, patient approach to getting spectacular shots, revealing why he prioritizes composition and letting the marine wildlife come to him, rather than chasing the perfect subject. He also discusses the transformative impact of his career, providing insights into starting an eco-tourism business and connecting people intimately with the natural environment. Learn how this commitment to passion and patience can change the trajectory of your life.
