On this episode of The Life of Phys Podcast, we sit down with JuanCarlos Gonzalez, a Puerto Rican photojournalist and visual storyteller based in Plymouth, Vermont.

JuanCarlos’s work is rooted in authenticity, human connection, and a deep sense of place. Working across portraiture, documentary, events, and landscapes, he creates emotionally resonant imagery that bridges cultures, celebrates resilience, and honors the quiet power of everyday life. In 2025, his work received international recognition when he was named one of Leica’s 100 Photographers.

Raised in the coastal town of Maunabo, Puerto Rico, JuanCarlos’s passion for photography began with newspapers and magazines—images that sparked a lifelong curiosity to explore, observe, and document the world. That early inspiration continues to shape his approach today.

His photographs have been featured in Leica Fotografie International (LFI), Vogue Italia, The Boston Globe, National Geographic, and numerous cultural institutions.

In 2023, JuanCarlos launched Vermont Female Farmers, a landmark portrait and documentary project featuring 45 women shaping the future of agriculture in Vermont. The project has toured nationally as a solo exhibition and was published as a companion book now held in the permanent collection of the Library of Congress. Exhibitions have included the Fleming Museum of Art, Billings Farm & Museum, Bennington Museum, the Vermont State House, and the Leica Gallery Boston, with additional solo shows continuing into 2026.

Beyond his personal practice, JuanCarlos served for six years as Director of Arts Programming at IBA Boston, New England’s largest Latinx nonprofit, leading community-driven arts and cultural initiatives.

When not on assignment, JuanCarlos is a marathoner and avid tennis player. He has completed 11 marathons including Paris, Stockholm, Big Sur, and six Boston Marathons as well as a 375-mile cycling journey around Puerto Rico

Upcoming projects:

- Puerto Rico Female Farmers: The Impact due to Global Warming 

- Vermont showing at Bryan Memorial Gallery, Fall 2026

This episode explores storytelling with intention, honoring lived experience, and what it means to photograph people and places with care.

In this episode of The Life of Phys Podcast, we sit down with documentary and landscape photographer Kyle McDougall, whose work explores the intersections of place, history, and time. Originally from Ontario, Canada and now based in the United Kingdom, Kyle is known for his quiet, observational approach to storytelling—capturing rural environments, overlooked towns, and landscapes shaped by memory and change.

Kyle began his career as a cinematographer and editor in the outdoor television industry before moving into commercial and documentary filmmaking. In 2017, he shifted his focus fully to photography, dedicating himself to long-term projects and sharing his creative process through his widely followed YouTube channel.

His first monograph, “An American Mile,” released in 2023, reflects five years of documenting small towns across the American Southwest, offering an intimate look at landscapes often passed by but rarely examined up close.

We talk about Kyle’s evolution as an artist, the discipline behind multi-year photo projects, the balance between creativity and clarity, and what he’s discovering through his current work on the Slate Landscapes of North Wales and the lost airfields of the Royal Air Force in WW2.

If you're passionate about documentary photography, long-form storytelling, or the quiet craft of observing the world more deeply, this conversation will stay with you.

Rachael Galipo is a photographer, model, and director whose work blends spirit, play, and deep human connection. Her creative journey has taken her across Chile’s rugged landscapes, into the canyons of Colombia documenting climbers forging new paths, and on 15 day road trips shooting tourism campaigns with crews she meets along the way. Her energy and enthusiasm shape every project she touches, making her a powerful presence both on and off set.

Rachael moves fluidly between roles behind and in front of the camera. As a model, she has worked with brands such as Mobil 1, TNF, Visit Utah, and Pickler. As a photographer, she captures people, places, and stories with vulnerability and intention. She believes that shifting between roles in the industry gives her a deeper understanding of storytelling and keeps creativity fun.

When she’s not on assignment, Rachael is outdoors or exploring passion projects. She often shoots with a large format film camera gifted by her uncle, reconnecting with the roots of the craft and the joy of slowing down. For her, photography is about process, presence, and connection.

In this episode we explore creativity, identity, vulnerability, and the power of seeing the world from both sides of the lens.
