Welcome to Landscape Photography World! I’m Grant Swinbourne and I’ll be your host on this show discussing the world of landscape photography. In future shows I’ll be talking to some of the best landscape photographers that inspire me. We’ll be getting to know them better and talk to them about their inspirations and motivations, how they’ve developed their style and what they do and don’t like about being a photographer. I’m keen to explore with you the art of landscape photography, composition, the use of tone and colour with maybe a little tech talk along the way. What I’m aiming for is to give you a glimpse into the world of landscape photography from the perspective of some of the best landscape photographers out there. I hope you enjoy the show!

    Ep 164 - Hanging Pixels with Oat Vaiyaboon

    Oat Vaiyaboon, also known as 'Hanging Pixels,' was born in Bangkok, Thailand, and moved to Sydney, Australia, at 14 to pursue his education. After completing his studies in architecture, Oat worked as a draftsman for a decade, adding his creative touch to the Sydney skyline. His passion for photography, which began in high school, was reignited when he pursued a master’s degree in design, photography, and digital media. Oat’s journey from film photography in the darkroom to mastering digital techniques is a testament to his dedication to the craft.   Oat’s photography is deeply influenced by his background in architecture, giving him a unique perspective on landscapes and natural light. He ventured from Sydney to south-west Victoria, with his wife Mandy, capturing stunning images of the Grampians, Great Ocean Road, and other natural wonders. His recent move to the Blue Mountains promises new subject matter for his lens.   Back in 2013, Oat’s wife, Mandy bought him his first drone which started his aerial journey. Now a licensed drone Oat is also a licensed drone operator, using this technology to capture breathtaking aerial shots. He shares his work and passion for photography on social media, finding it therapeutic and a way to connect with nature. Whether alone or with family and friends, Oat seizes every opportunity to photograph the landscapes around him.   In this episode, Oat discusses balancing his photography career with managing a Thai restaurant, the importance of on-site shot perfection, and his editing process. He also touches on the impact of smartphone photography, the value of printed images, and the supportive nature of Melbourne’s photography community compared to Sydney.   I hope you enjoy the show!   You can find Oat’s work  here: Website: https://www.hangingpixels.com.au/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hangingpixels_photo_art/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hangingpixels         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 #DronePhotography #CreativeJourney #ArchitecturalInfluence #SydneyPhotography

  2. Ep 163 - PTSD & Theraputic Photography Gill Dayton

    10 SEPT

    Ep 163 - PTSD & Theraputic Photography Gill Dayton

    Gill Dayton, also known as 'TassieApplespice,' transitioned from a 30-year career in law enforcement to full-time landscape photography as a form of therapy, finding solace in Tasmania's tranquil and breathtaking landscapes. Raised in the Huon Valley, her connection to nature was cultivated early, which she later channeled into photography. Initially self-taught, Gill's creative journey blossomed under the mentorship of a friend, allowing her to hone her skills and capture Tasmania’s raw beauty, from its wildlife to its iconic landscapes.   Struggling with severe PTSD and Disassociated Amnesia from her time as a police officer, photography became more than a hobby for Gill—it was her refuge. The quiet corners of Tasmania offered her a sanctuary, where the natural world provided healing and peace. Despite the challenges, including insomnia that ironically benefits her astrophotography, Gill remains dedicated to keeping her scenes natural and unmanipulated.   Gill also navigates the complexities of social media, addressing issues like intellectual property theft and the growing impact of AI on photography. She has expanded her photography to include sailing events and accommodation shoots, capturing the essence of her subjects with the same authenticity she brings to her landscapes. Emphasizing the importance of enjoying photography as a therapeutic practice, Gill's story is a powerful testament to the healing power of art and nature, reminding us that sometimes the most profound journeys are those we take with a camera in hand, seeking solace in the world's quieter places.   I hope you enjoy the show!   You can find Gill’s work  here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tassieapplespice/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tassieapplespice/   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 #PTSDRecovery #NaturePhotography #Astrophotography #TasmaniaLandscapes #TherapeuticArt

    Ep 158 - Balancing Art and Environmentalism with Hans Strand

    Hans Strand, born in 1955 in Marmaverken, Sweden, transitioned from a nine-year career in mechanical engineering to landscape photography in 1990, a decision he has never regretted. Drawn to the untamed and raw expressions of nature, Hans believes, "The wilderness is the mother of all living things." His work spans diverse locales from polar deserts to rainforests, capturing the forces that shape landscapes. Recently, his focus has shifted to human impacts on ecosystems, including water pollution and agricultural landscapes.   Internationally acclaimed, Hans's photography is published in numerous photo and art magazines. He has won thirteen international awards, including the Hasselblad Master Award in 2008, and published seven books centered on environmental themes and humanity's relationship with nature. His images, while frozen in time, tell dynamic stories of movement, evolution, and the passage of time.   In this episode, Hans discusses his evolution from grand landscapes to intimate compositions, and the importance of personal expression in his work. He shares his thoughts on the challenges posed by AI, the influence of social media, and the difficulty of sustaining a career in landscape photography. I hope you enjoy the show!   You can find Hans’s work  here: Website: https://www.hansstrand.se/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hansstrandofficial/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063591182238 Aqua Book: https://www.kozubooks.com/books-new/aqua-by-hans-strand   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
