    Ken Marsh: Discover Alaska’s Wild Side (Mini Guide Pt. 1)

    If you’ve ever dreamed of Photographing in Alaska — this is where you start! In Part 1 of this special two-part Mini-Guide to Alaska Wildlife Photography, we’re joined by Alaskan photographer, writer, and natural-born storyteller Ken Marsh 📷 We talk about how growing up in the Alaskan wild and working for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game shaped his eye for photography, what gear (and mindset) you really need, and why understanding animals always comes before the shot. There’s talk of foxes, moose, bears, close calls, and the kind of advice you only get from someone who’s spent a lifetime in the field. Step one in Alaskan wildlife photography: Know your subject.

    Sofía López Mañán: Are We Listening to Nature?

    What if photography wasn’t about capturing the world — but listening to it?📷 That’s the approach Argentinian photographer, and National Geographic Explorer, Sofía López Mañán brings to her work, blending visual storytelling with philosophy, ecology, and deep empathy. In this episode, we talk about her current project with bees (supported by the 2024 Vital Impacts Grant), the relocation of elephants, her work with Andean condors, and how she approaches photography more like a ritual than a recording. We also dive into her long-term project 'El Libro de la Naturaleza' (The Book of Nature), and how she explores what “Nature” even means in the first place. It’s a conversation full of unexpected stories, reflections on human-animal relationships, and a fresh take on what it means to be part of the story — not just an observer. 🎧🎙️ Listen now! ***** 📸 See more of Sofia’s work: http://www.sofialopezmanan.com/  ***** 🎧 Your Weekly dose of Photography Inspiration: https://thecameracafeshow.com/

    Joanna Steidle: Beauty from Above (Drone Special)

    What happens when a drone meets a school of fish… and one whale? 🐋🛸 Photographer Joanna Steidle has the answer — and the stories to match 📷 A longtime friend and someone who I admire immensely, Joanna is an award-winning drone photographer whose work has been published by media such as CNN, The New York Times, The Smithsonian Magazine or even Forbes, and her drone footage has aired on Disney, National Geographic and Discovery Channel. Joanna is also, to date, the only female DJI-drones Creator (Ambassador) in the USA. In this episode, Joanna shares how she went from a love to race drones to creating jaw-dropping aerial art. We talk about what gear she uses, about what gear you need to start out (and regulations you must know), how to get started in drone photography, what it's like to go viral (after working for long hours every day though), a word about marine life and conservation — and why seagulls might just be her spirit animal. Whether you're drone-curious or just need a dose of inspiration for your next flight, Joanna's stories will have you seeing the world a little differently — from a few hundred feet up and with some good laughs! ***** 📸 See more of Joanna’s work: https://joannasteidle.com/ ***** 🎧 Your Weekly dose of Photography Inspiration: https://thecameracafeshow.com/
