The Open Shutter Photography Podcast

Today I'm joined by freelance travel and nature photographer Ignacio Palacios who has travelled 92 countries across his 23 year career, and whose images have earned over 100 photography awards in that time, including being awarded the status of Master of Photography with 1 gold bar with the Australian Institute of Professional Photography.

In this episode we talk about what Ignacio has been up to as a travel photographer in worldwide lockdown and how he's stayed productive, how he researches and plans trips to get the most out of every opportunity, and how to look beyond the typical Iconic landscape scenes to capture something more intimate and intriguing, plus lots more that should ignite the travel bug in you ready for when the world gets back to something resembling normal!

This weeks guest is world-renowned photographer and shelter-dog advocate Sophie Gamand, who joins me to talk about how to make a real difference in the world with your photography.

Sophie's Pit Bull Flower Power project started as a passion project but quickly exploded in the media, becoming the catalyst for a full time career in photography.

For Sophie, it's shelter dogs. Your passion may be similar, or completely different. But what Sophie shares in our conversation today will inspire you to think about how you can attach more meaning to your photography, to tell stories that make a difference, and to create images that can make a real-world difference to whatever cause you set your mind and heart to.

Welcome to episode 3!

In this weeks episode I'm talking with professional landscape photographer Luke Tscharke, who shares what it's been like to leave the security of a corporate life behind for a more fulfilling career in photography, and we also go a bit deeper into how not panic when you feel your photography mojo starting to slip, plus a lot more.

In episode 2 I'm joined by Anthony Lamb, an award winning minimalist photographer from the UK, who lives and works as a professional photographer in the UAE.

Anthony shares some great insights on how to connect with your photography on a personal level, and how this can be used to find inspiration in photographing your local area landscapes so you can lose the FOMO from always feeling like you need to have world class locations on your doorstep.

Welcome to the Open Shutter Photography Podcast episode 1, with our guest Adam Williams from EasyWayPhotography.com

I'm so proud and thankful to kick the podcast off with this interview. It started out with the intention of being simply some tips and insights on creativity but the further we went into the conversation, the deeper and more personal Adams stories and insights went.

The whole experience left me re-evaluating my own photography, what it all means to me, and how I can put more of myself into my photography to connect on a deeper level.
