Landscape Photography World

Award-winning photographer and scientist, Franka M. Gabler, developed a fascination, admiration, and respect for nature early in her lifetime. Soon after moving to California in 1997, she experienced her first wilderness backpacking trip in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Ever since that time, she has been photographing the magnificence of the high-country mountains and the California landscape. Her photographs are evocative - the light and atmosphere evident in her photographs often result in sentimental impact and ethereal feeling. She strives to capture the mood and the essence of the place she photographs.   Franka’s photographs have been recognized internationally, including the 2022 Landscape Photography World Awards (overall winner) and the 2021 First Place award for the ‘Intimate and Abstract’ Natural Landscape Photography Awards category. Her photographs are published in several books and she has been featured in several photography magazines. Franka has been invited to speak at several photography conferences.   Her work has been featured in numerous exhibits and is represented in private collections throughout the United States and abroad.    We discuss the advantages of spending time at a location to gain familiarity, the enjoyment of her experiences in nature and how her early experiences in the High Sierra have shaped her portfolio along with a lot more!   I hope you enjoy the show!   You can find Franka's work here: Website: https://www.frankagabler.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/franka_gabler/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FrankaGablerPhotography     Listen to this and other episodes wherever you find your podcasts or on https://grantswinbournephotography.com/lpw-podcast   Or subscribe to my YouTube channel https://youtube.com/@grantswinbournephotography   Theme music: Liturgy Of The Street by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com   #podcast #landscapephotography  

Justin Snead is a storm chasing photographer from the US whose work is largely guided by extreme weather events.  He’s been lucky enough to set up his work life balance to enable him to take time out to shoot when the storm season in the midwest of the US is at its peak. For Justin, it started when he was driving one day in Minnesota and noticed an unusual cloud in the sky as it swirled along the rural landscape. Luckily he had his  camera with him and he began clicking away.   His phone alerted him of an approaching tornado, a surge of adrenaline rushed through him, and he knew he was in the right place, doing what he was meant to do.   Since that time he’s developed a spontaneous style that ignores some of the technical niceties of photography, but that shows the power and magnificence of extreme weather.   We discuss how he stays safe in dangerous weather conditions, his balancing act of work and photography and how he’s learned to read storm structures to get the results he wants, along with lots more!   I hope you enjoy the show!   You can find Justin's work here: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/TheDreadlockTraveler Website: https://thedreadlocktraveler.smugmug.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedreadlocktraveler/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/DreadlockTvlr Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/justin.snead.33   Listen to this and other episodes wherever you find your podcasts or on https://grantswinbournephotography.com/lpw-podcast   Or subscribe to my YouTube channel https://youtube.com/@grantswinbournephotography   Theme music: Liturgy Of The Street by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com   #podcast #landscapephotography

Today I talk to Andrew Baruffi who has used the power that nature has to heal, and through photography has enabled healing moments for himself. I won’t go into the details here because Andrew tells his story far better than I can, in the podcast.  Andrews work draws on the landscapes of Zion and the south-west of the USA where his journey of healing truly began.

David Fairs is a photographer, filmmaker, painter, illustrator, and digital artist living and  working in the Illawarra region South of Sydney. Obsessed with the ocean, documenting the beauty of nature, David believes creators hold more value than our system holds true. Growing up on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, and being a keen surfer, the sea and water have always been close to his heart and this shows strongly in his art, with his main focus recently being on aerial surf and abstract wave shots.   Formerly a creative director for a marketing agency, David has used many of the  skills he learned in that field in making the decision to make art full time.  He uses creative visualisation techniques such as story boarding etc to shape his creative vision and drive his business forward.   We discuss his encounter with a sea monster, how he uses his business skills to create art,  his involvement with the NFT space along with a lot more!   I hope you enjoy the show!   You can find David's work here: Website: https://www.newlightvisual.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/newlightvisuals Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/newlightvisuals/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/newlightvisuals     Listen to this and other episodes wherever you find your podcasts or on https://grantswinbournephotography.com/lpw-podcast   Or subscribe to my YouTube channel https://youtube.com/@grantswinbournephotography   Theme music: Liturgy Of The Street by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com   #podcast #landscapephotography    

This week I’ve got something a bit different.  Brie Stockwell and Len Metcalf both brilliant  landscape photographers in their own right, started their podcast, A Creative Affair, a little while ago after meeting during an after party for Matt Payne’s podcast, F/Stop Collaborate & Listen.  Their podcast is a  collection of lively conversations, exploring creativity through the art of photography and other creative passions.   Brie is an American photographer & life coach who has been exploring her own creativity through her work in nature and landscape photography since 2019.    Brie challenged herself to exhibit 10 of her best images in 2020, in what she calls an "impossible goal".  Through this challenge, Brie learned a lot about herself which has opened several doors in her life.   Len began his obsession for photography in the late sixties when his father gifted him his first camera. Growing up in Australia’s spectacular Blue Mountains provided Len with an endless array of incredible scenes to capture. He particularly loves the light and mood of misty wet landscapes, abundant in that region.   In 2000 Len opened his own gallery in Katoomba. Combining his flair for both education and photography made perfect sense and not  long after, Len’s School was created.   Len has become renowned as a leading photographic educator through teaching, mentoring and facilitating innovative workshops and tours.    We discuss how the pair view creativity, how their shared passion has blossomed into an online partnership, the vagaries of social media &  photography along with much much more!   I hope you enjoy the show!   You can find Brie & Len's work here: A Creative Affair Podcast:  https://www.acreativeaffairpodcast.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/asliceofbrie2020/ https://www.instagram.com/lenmetcalf/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brie.stockwell https://www.facebook.com/leonardmetcalf/photos Twitter: https://twitter.com/brie_stockwell https://twitter.com/lenmetcalf Vero: https://vero.co/briestockwell https://vero.co/lenmetcalf Website: https://creativemindscoach.com/quicklinks/ http://lenmetcalf.com/   Listen to this and other episodes wherever you find your podcasts or on https://grantswinbournephotography.com/lpw-podcast   Or subscribe to my YouTube channel https://youtube.com/@grantswinbournephotography   Theme music: Liturgy Of The Street by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com   #podcast #landscapephotography            

Glenn Walker is an Australian/Melbourne based photographer specialising in sea and landscapes.   He loves to set his alarm for 4am and drive to a location in the darkness and with anticipation, setting up just as the first light taints the horizon. With the awakening of his surroundings, Glenn creates wonderful naturalistic compositions as he observes the changing conditions.   Glenn grew up by the bay and regularly headed to the coast on weekends, so he’s always been captivated by the picturesque sea, sand, surf and Victoria’s many and varied scenic landscapes. In recent years, after a trip to Hawaii, he began viewing the sea through the lens of a camera and has been capturing images ever since.   Glenn also uses his carpentry skills to create frames, in either sustainable or solid recycled timbers, to compliment his images.   He aspires to capture the moment and movement of the ever-changing elements of nature.  Guided by nature’s random tides, swell, water, wind, light, stone, timbers, foliage and all of its captivating hues.   We discuss his adventurous nature, the challenges of selling his prints at market stalls, how he creates his own frames with recycled timber along with so much more!   I hope you enjoy the show!   You can find Glenn's work here: Website: https://glennwalkerphotography.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennslens.au/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennslens.au/   Listen to this and other episodes wherever you find your podcasts or on grantswinbournephotography.com/lpw-podcast   Or subscribe to my YouTube channel youtube.com/@grantswinbournephotography   Theme music: Liturgy Of The Street by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com   #podcast #landscapephotography  

Rosie Steggles has been interested in photography practically her whole life.  Rosie had her first SLR when she was in high school.    Digital Photography has allowed her to have more control over how she wants her images to look and so she can create more of a mood in her shots.    Rosie now focuses on her compositional work and creating a story image from scratch.   While Rosie loves landscape and travel photography, she’s also a very keen explorer of  a lot of genres for example: architecture, surf, etc (portrait photography scares her the most though).   We discuss her horror story, how she’s developed her multiple exposure style, the hacking of her instagram account and how she got it back along with a whole lot more!   I hope you enjoy the show!   You can find Rosie's work here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rosiefoto/ & https://www.instagram.com/rosiefotoart/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063485078369   Listen to this and other episodes wherever you find your podcasts or on grantswinbournephotography.com/lpw-podcast   Or subscribe to my YouTube channel youtube.com/@grantswinbournephotography   Theme music: Liturgy Of The Street by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com   #podcast #landscapephotography  

Paul Belli has been photographing landscapes/seascapes since 2018. Originally from Scotland he’s now well and truly settled in New Zealand and loves having the opportunity to shoot some of the most stunning scenery in the world.   His style has changed quite a bit in those 4 short years. He’s always shot long exposure photography but continues pushing boundaries with the length of exposures he’s taking, taking a deep dive into the realms of ultra long exposure photography.   His first love is taking photographs of the sea, probably in part from the love of having his feet in the ocean, to Paul it's very cathartic.   Being surrounded by natural beauty in New Zealand, Paul uses his camera as an extension of how he sees the landscape and then prints his photos with a focus on the magic he finds.    Earlier this year he won the Cityscape category in the Landscape Photography World Awards and he’s going to keep pushing the boundaries of his craft.   We talk about where his creative drive comes from, how he balances having a young family with his passion for astro-photography and what success in his photography means to him along with a lot more!   I hope you enjoy the show!   You can find Paul's work here: Website:  https://paulbelliphotography.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/PAULBELLI9 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulbelliphotography/ FaceBook:  https://www.facebook.com/paulbelliphotography/   Listen to this and other episodes wherever you find your podcasts or on grantswinbournephotography.com/lpw-podcast   Or subscribe to my YouTube channel youtube.com/@grantswinbournephotography   Theme music: Liturgy Of The Street by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com   #podcast #landscapephotography
