    A conversation with Ben Eriksson (EP221)

    Ben is an Australian photographer, educator and adventurer who has spent more than 10 years using photography to tell the stories of his own adventures and those of his clients. With a passion for teaching, Ben runs a range of photography workshops and tours across Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, as well as tours to Bermagui and Eden in New South Wales to photograph the annual Humpback Whale migration. His personal photography is heavily influenced by a fascination with the things many people might miss. His subjects range from migrating whales breaching and tail slapping to lesser-known bird species, the Aurora Australis, bioluminescence, ghost fungi, the Galactic Core of the Milky Way, eclipses, meteor showers and dramatic storms. His photographic style is a direct reflection of his personality: creative, curious, adventurous, passionate, enthusiastic and fun. Ben shoots with Canon equipment and an assortment of lenses, while maintaining a strong working knowledge of most major camera systems. He also operates a Fine Art Print Studio, where he runs workshops exploring the art of editing and preparing photographs for print using his Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-2100 24-inch and PRO-4100 44-inch large-format printers. Ben is a proud Australian ambassador for Samyang Optics Australia, Tenba Bags Australia, Benro Tripods Australia, Nanlite Australia and Athabasca Filters Australia. When he isn’t behind the camera, Ben can usually be found pursuing another adventure. During summer, that might mean spending time with his family on the Murray River or sailing his International 420 dinghy on the Mornington Peninsula. In winter, he swaps the water for the trails, mountain biking around Arthurs Seat. He’s also a keen cook and is particularly proud of his Lebanese meatballs — famous in his daughter’s eyes, at least. https://www.benjaminerikssonphotography.com.au/ https://www.instagram.com/benjamineriksson.photography/ https://www.facebook.com/benjaminerikssonphotography =========================================== THE CAMERA LIFE - LIVE PHOTOGRAPHY PODCAST =========================================== ➡Blog: https://luckystraps.com/the-camera-life ➡YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@the_camera_life ➡IG: https://www.instagram.com/the_camera_life_podcast ➡Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1dC4kPNrLORz2ASrukyOS5?si=18c6fd2534cf4d97 ➡Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-camera-life/id1760304677 =================================================== LUCKY STRAPS - THE BEST CAMERA STRAPS ON THE PLANET =================================================== ✅ Quick Release System ✅ Anti-Theft, Cut-Resistant and Safety Lock ✅ Super Comfortable Genuine Leather ✅ Australian Made and Lifetime Guarantee a ✅ Personalise with Your Name or Logo ✅ Owned, Designed and Used by Working Photographers SHOP NOW https://luckystraps.com/ (Use code for 15% off - Codes are JUSTIN JIM or GREG - Which host do you like the most?) ================ CONNECT WITH US ================ Greg Cromie - Writer and Photographer ➡IG: https://www.instagram.com/gcromie/ ➡Greg's Blog: https://gregcromie.blog/ Justin Castles - Photographer and Founder of Lucky Straps ➡IG: https://www.instagram.com/justincastles Jim Aldersey - Wedding and Boudoir Photographer ➡IG: https://www.instagram.com/jimaldersey/ ➡Wedding IG: https://www.instagram.com/weddingsbyjim_/ ===================================================

    Mastering Black and White Street Photography Phil Austin (EP217)

    Phil was born in 1965 in Durham, United Kingdom and now he is a photographer based in Sydney, Australia. He began exploring street photography in 2022 as a lunch break hobby, and his work has since been featured in several exhibitions across Sydney. Phil’s photography is primarily black and white, focusing on mood and fleeting moments of urban life. He often experiments with slow shutter speeds and intentional camera movement to create abstract impressions of the city. Alongside his artistic pursuits, Phil has a professional career as an osteopath and cancer pain researcher. https://www.philaustin.au/ https://www.instagram.com/philaustin.streets/ =========================================== THE CAMERA LIFE - LIVE PHOTOGRAPHY PODCAST =========================================== ➡Blog: https://luckystraps.com/the-camera-life ➡YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@the_camera_life ➡IG: https://www.instagram.com/the_camera_life_podcast ➡Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1dC4kPNrLORz2ASrukyOS5?si=18c6fd2534cf4d97 ➡Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-camera-life/id1760304677 =================================================== LUCKY STRAPS - THE BEST CAMERA STRAPS ON THE PLANET =================================================== ✅ Quick Release System ✅ Anti-Theft, Cut-Resistant and Safety Lock ✅ Super Comfortable Genuine Leather ✅ Australian Made and Lifetime Guarantee a ✅ Personalise with Your Name or Logo ✅ Owned, Designed and Used by Working Photographers SHOP NOW https://luckystraps.com/ (Use code for 15% off - Codes are JUSTIN JIM or GREG - Which host do you like the most?) ================ CONNECT WITH US ================ Greg Cromie - Writer and Photographer ➡IG: https://www.instagram.com/gcromie/ ➡Greg's Blog: https://gregcromie.blog/ Justin Castles - Photographer and Founder of Lucky Straps ➡IG: https://www.instagram.com/justincastles Jim Aldersey - Wedding and Boudoir Photographer ➡IG: https://www.instagram.com/jimaldersey/ ➡Wedding IG: https://www.instagram.com/weddingsbyjim_/ ===================================================

    A conversation with Jonas Wilson (EP215)

    Jonas is a German-born, Melbourne-raised photographer with a strong desire for exploration and travel. That sense of adventure first led him to pick up a camera around 10 years ago, documenting the places, experiences and outings he encountered along the way. Initially drawn to landscape photography, his work has gradually expanded into cityscapes, portraits and the small candid moments he finds interesting or beautiful. His love for photography has always been focused on the process. Regardless of the subject, Jonas enjoys being able to capture and document the world as he sees it. Sharing his work through social media is a great bonus, but it has never been his main motivation. Visiting new places, cities, countries and landmarks continues to be a major source of inspiration, and photographing his travels remains one of his greatest passions. Just as importantly, many of his favourite photographs have been taken closer to home, revisiting familiar parts of Melbourne and finding new ways to see them. Photography has given Jonas a much deeper appreciation for how beautiful the world can be in so many different ways. Ultimately, that sense of beauty, curiosity and perspective is what he hopes to share through his work. https://www.instagram.com/jonaswilson_/ =========================================== THE CAMERA LIFE - LIVE PHOTOGRAPHY PODCAST =========================================== ➡Blog: https://luckystraps.com/the-camera-life ➡YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@the_camera_life ➡IG: https://www.instagram.com/the_camera_life_podcast ➡Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1dC4kPNrLORz2ASrukyOS5?si=18c6fd2534cf4d97 ➡Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-camera-life/id1760304677 =================================================== LUCKY STRAPS - THE BEST CAMERA STRAPS ON THE PLANET =================================================== ✅ Quick Release System ✅ Anti-Theft, Cut-Resistant and Safety Lock ✅ Super Comfortable Genuine Leather ✅ Australian Made and Lifetime Guarantee a ✅ Personalise with Your Name or Logo ✅ Owned, Designed and Used by Working Photographers SHOP NOW https://luckystraps.com/ (Use code for 15% off - Codes are JUSTIN JIM or GREG - Which host do you like the most?) ================ CONNECT WITH US ================ Greg Cromie - Writer and Photographer ➡IG: https://www.instagram.com/gcromie/ ➡Greg's Blog: https://gregcromie.blog/ Justin Castles - Photographer and Founder of Lucky Straps ➡IG: https://www.instagram.com/justincastles Jim Aldersey - Wedding and Boudoir Photographer ➡IG: https://www.instagram.com/jimaldersey/ ➡Wedding IG: https://www.instagram.com/weddingsbyjim_/ ===================================================
