Landscape Photography World

Chris Wright is a photographer living on Sydney’s northern beaches, whose interests extend from natural and urban landscapes, to travel and street photography. As a university professor and senior climate change researcher, he has a strong interest in the natural environment and the sustainability of ecosystems and planetary health.  His photography journey began more than thirty years ago growing up on Sydney Harbour, using his first cameras to capture the beauty of the ocean, as well as on fishing trips to Australia’s tropical north and Papua New Guinea (many of his images featured in fishing magazines of the time).  In the 2010s he rediscovered a love of photography on overseas trips to major cities in North America, Europe and Asia. Embracing mirrorless, small format cameras, this late in life rediscovery of the joy of photography has grown into a consuming passion as his knowledge of the technical aspects of composition and processing has developed.  In recent years, the pandemic has led him to shift his attention towards local seascape and landscape compositions and explore the creative possibilities of hidden waterfalls and the beauty of beaches and headlands at sunrise and sunset. He has also sought to marry his research interest in climate change with photographic projects exploring the fossil fuel industry and its physical impacts on the landscape and society. This includes exploring ways to extend his photographic vision into artistic and abstract compositions which address the realities of the vulnerability of the natural environment and the changing landscape we are now living within. We discuss climate change and the challenges we face with it, how Chris uses his imagery in his educational career, the way photography has helped him with mental health and his career as a climate scientist along with a whole lot more.

This week Larryn Rae joins me to talk about his stunning astro and scenic landscapes from NZ and around the world. With a decade of world travel and photography experience, Larryn came to realise that truly remarkable landscapes are more than just photogenic geological structures. Their moods shift with the weather, their faces change in the shadows, and while they dance in daylight, they never lay dormant at night. Larryn fell  in love with the way mountains come alive under the Milky Way, the moment the sun and ocean melt together, the haunting comfort of fog banks lighting up as they envelope a city skyline and the way the stars blur as the world twirls beneath them. It’s all lead him to what he describes as his compulsion to capture more of these fleeting moments of time in nature, and in the process, create portraits of New Zealand’s true essence. We discuss how his compulsion has grown, his recent move to the South Island of NZ to pursue his passion and his incredible workflows both in the field and in post production and lots, lots more. I hope you enjoy the show!   You can find Larryn's work here: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/larrynrae Website: https://www.shadowandshade.co.nz/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shadowandshadenz/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/shadowanshadenz Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shadowandshadenz YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCUfqBA9WS9HtrqBQ_TW1jA   Theme music: Liturgy Of The Street by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com   #podcast #landscapephotography
