The Traveling Image Makers

Our guest for this episode of the podcast is Dan Briški, who spoke with Ralph about his home country, beautiful Slovenia.

Dan is an expert outdoor photographer. He specialized for mountain- landscape photography in the Alps and spends most of his time in the wilderness searching for the right location and waiting for the perfect light. Although the Alps are his favorite photographic subject and he mainly shoots mountaineering, climbing and other outdoor activities in the mountains, he takes portraits and works on various commercial assignments as well.

He developed his passion for photography when he was a young mountaineer and wanted to bring back home photos that would show landscapes and sceneries he witnessed at their best. What started as a hobby soon turned into something much more.. a profession and a way of life.

His work regularly appears in mountaineering magazines and he exhibitions at home and abroad and has received several FIAP prizes at international salons of photography.

This week Ralph sat down for a chat with British-born and expat-to-Portugal photographer Anna Gunn.

Anna was born in Birmingham, England, in the 80s. Graduated in Aerospace Manufacturing Engineering, but the aerospace industry crash in the beginning of the 21st century forced her to look for other avenues. The passion for the performing arts, especially Stage Lighting, took her to the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts, where she graduated in Stage Management and Technical Theatre.

After some time spent on tours and slightly tired of the constant cold and the rain, Anna packed all her stuff and moved to a nicer climate, settling down in Maia, Portugal, in 2009.Since then her journey has taken her on a path to creating the very first Porto Photo Fest due to launch in September 2017.

The Porto Photo Fest is an event where people can learn more than what’s already available online – content that you can’t get anywhere else. This festival will give you the unique opportunity to go deeper into the creative process with a group of talented and accomplished professionals.

And you’ll do it in a UNESCO World Heritage Centre. Porto is a very special place where you can virtually step back in time. There is huge pride in this city, its stories and traditions. Its colour, texture and design make every corner of the city a photographer’s dream backdrop.

Aside from the festival, the conversation touched a number of topics regarding Portugal and the city of Porto, including its culture, food and wine, and the best spots for photography.

This week we have a returning guest on the show, Canon explorer of light, Rick Sammon, a man on a mission to make digital photography fun, creative, exciting and rewarding for others, often called the Godfather of Photography. Since he’s such a prolific author, we also like to call him the Stephen King of Photography.

Of course, we talked with Rick about books, including his latest, good and bad workshop behavior, horror stories about gear breaking down at the most unexpected times, music, vacations, creativity, virtual workshops, Botswana, and too many other topics to mention here.

We are sure you will love listening to Rick and discovering his sense of humor.

Rick was a guest of the podcast on episode 6.

Duration 48m 57s.

This week’s episode is a special one. During the latest Out Of Chicago Summer Conference, Ugo was the moderator of a panel discussion about the State of Landscape Photography. The panelists were three very well-known landscape and outdoor photographers: Josh Cripps, Ian Plant, and Bill Fortney.

What ensued was a lively and, at times, humorous discussion about the joys and pains of being a professional landscape photographer, interspersed with reflections about the direction the industry is going: Are we seeing a resurgence of “natural” photography? Is it still possible to make a living doing outdoor photography? and more.

As the panel went on for about 90 minutes, we split the recording in two parts. This is the second part; the first part is here.

Apologies for the audio quality, which is not at the usual level of quality. The microphones in front of the stage picked up a bit of background noise, but we think it’s still intelligible and the contents of the conversation, which are what really matters, are too good not to share.

We would also like to thank Chris Smith and the staff at Out Of Chicago for giving us the opportunity and the means to record this. If you’ve never been to Out Of Chicago, you should definitely attend it and we’ll certainly be there again next year.

Duration 40m 37s.

Starting with the month of June 2017, we are doing a monthly photo contest on our Facebook group, The Traveling Image Makers’ Corner. We invite the group members to submit one of their best photographs and, at the end of the month, we pick two winners and invite them to come on the show and tell us about their winning images and their photography.

The winners for the month of June, Nadja K. Rutkowski and Richard Leach, submitted an aerial photo of the Empire State Building and a poignant portrait of a boy on the streets of an Indian city, respectively. We thought those two stood above the rest, but it was a tough choice, since we got so many amazing submissions.

We also talk about Ralph’s new program, the Tour Organizer Training, where he’s teaching everyday people how to organize and lead their own trips, whether around the world, or around the corner. And these don’t have to be photography tours, but can be based on any special interest, such as food, walking, yoga, culinary, music, spirits, history and more.

Would you like to be one of the next guests on the podcast? Head over to our Facebook group, ask to join (if you’re not already a member) and look for the post pinned to the top for instructions. The contest for the month of July is still open, but we intend to do a new contest every month. Let’s see your best travel images!

Duration 38m 18s.

Robert Kelly is a travel writer and podcaster based out of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He was born and raised in Canada, but has lived abroad for the past 21 years, including an 17 year stint in Taiwan, where he began his travel writing career on the Taiwan Lonely Planet guide in 2003. In 2016, bored with the direction travel writing is going (lists, lists, lists!), he started Travel Tape, an immersive documentary audio program that covers subjects as diverse as China’s Ghost Cities, the changing life of Kenya’s Maasai people, and a night in the notorious Golden Triangle of Myanmar. Robert is currently completing the pre-script for a film documentary on Taiwan’s flourishing temple culture, which will start shooting in the fall.
