The Art of Photography The Wicked Hunt Photography by Stanley Aryanto

Hey Wicked Hunters, Excited to announce this week guest for The Art of Photography Podcast with John Weatherby.
 
John Weatherby, a skilled photographer from Tampa, embarked on his photographic journey while juggling waitering duties during his college years. His initial foray into photography began with managing social media accounts, which sparked an interest in enhancing his photographic skills. This newfound passion led Weatherby to invest in professional gear, including a DSLR camera and lighting equipment.
Breaking away from the hospitality sector, Weatherby turned his lens towards the scenic vistas of Tampa Bay. His unique captures of the city quickly garnered local admiration and underscored his potential to transform his hobby into a thriving career. In 2015, Weatherby established Weatherby Photography, a venture that has since collaborated with prominent names like Uber, the University of Tampa, and the Home Depot.
Renowned for his vibrant and innovative depictions of Tampa, Weatherby excels in presenting the city through a creative lens. His portfolio, however, is not limited to fine art; it also encompasses commercial and architectural photography. Weatherby's philosophy revolves around the gratification of turning a beloved hobby into a sustainable livelihood. He finds immense joy and fulfillment in not only pursuing his passion but also in adding value to the lives and businesses of others through his artistic talent.

John Knopf  0:00  If this guy can do this, and like there's only a handful of people doing this in the world, maybe I can do it.

My parents were you in and out of prison like, Mike, I was told by all my teachers, there's no way I was going to amount to anything, I was most likely going to end up homeless in a trailer park or just, you know, in prison Ed.

Hey Wicked Hunters, Welcome back to The Art of Photography Podcast, Today I want to welcome Peter O'Hara.Pete considers himself “A guy trying to live out adventures I created in my head as a child while flipping through National Geographic Magazines.”
The majority of Pete’s early creative career was spent working in the Canadian television industry, providing the fortunate opportunity at a young age to travel the world while developing my skills as a cinematographer, editor, and photographer.
With these skills, he began working on branded projects with agencies and brands such as Ikea, Buick and Lexus before beginning to focus my expertise on television development collaborating with companies such as Disney, HGTV, Discovery Channel and The Property Brothers.
Pete says,” While these projects allowed for personal and professional growth, after 10 years in the industry, I was ready to take on a new challenge.
Though I always loved my time spent abroad, it wasn't until spending two months travelling to New Zealand that I discovered my love and passion for outdoor adventure photography and filmmaking.
Through this realisation, the course of my career naturally shifted, and I began to invest more time learning how to improve my skills and the art of adventure storytelling.
I am a professional drone operator with advanced drone certification through Transport Canada and aim to enhance these stories by taking to the skies. My goal since beginning this creative venture is to share my passion for exploration and create content that will inspire others to spend more time outdoors and in nature as well as give back along the way.”
Highlights over the past few years are working with Travel Yukon, Tourism Vancouver Island, and Campbell River Whale Watching, JAR of Hope Foundation raising awareness for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Hey Wicked Hunters, I'm excited to share another week of podcast-sharing artist journey and the inspiration behind their experiences. 
This week we have Ina Grischau. She is an artist from Germany, she creates fine art photography through solo off-grid travels in search of connections and stories.
On a journey to Nepal in 2015 she got a brand new camera and had pictures of towering mountains and secluded towns in her mind. The connection woven in those 5 weeks is influencing her work today and has formed her as a creator, explorer and storyteller. A few months later she continued to search for the perfect shot in a two-year world travel around central Asia, south and east Asia, Hawaii and West Coast Canada.
