In this episode, I review Nick Brandt's ‘Across this Earth a Shadow Falls'. An iconic, timeless and must-own look at African wildlife photography in warm-toned black-and-white. Back in podcast number #79, I reviewed his fourth book, ‘Inherit the Dust', and yesterday I reviewed the third book in the series, 'Across the Ravaged Land', in podcast number #159. This completes the review of the books I currently own by him.Support the showWild Nature Photo TravelPhotography Workshops and Expeditions around the Worldwww.wildnaturephototravel.comSupport the Show and fellow Nature Photographer: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/JoshuaHolko/membershipFind us on Social MediaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Joshuaholko/Twitter: https://twitter.com/HolkoJoshuaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshuaholko/Need to Contact us? info@jholko.com 

In this episode, I review Nick Brandt's 'Across the Ravaged Land'. A hard-hitting look at African wildlife photography through the lens of what humanity is doing to the planet. Back in podcast number #79, I reviewed his fourth book, 'Inherit the Dust'. 'Across the Ravaged Land' forms part of his trilogy series 'A Shadow Falls', 'On this Earth' and 'Across the Ravaged Land'. The first two books were also available as a combined limited edition work.Nick Brandt Book StoreSupport the showWild Nature Photo TravelPhotography Workshops and Expeditions around the Worldwww.wildnaturephototravel.comSupport the Show and fellow Nature Photographer: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/JoshuaHolko/membershipFind us on Social MediaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Joshuaholko/Twitter: https://twitter.com/HolkoJoshuaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshuaholko/Need to Contact us? info@jholko.com

In this episode, I review the book 'Laponia Majestic Stillness' by Erlend and Orsolya Haarberg. This is a book I have a love/hate relationship with.  Whilst I am a big fan of these two photographers' work, I find this book disappointing, with poor design and paper choice that ultimately leave me conflicted and confused.

In this episode, I discuss how white your snow should be on a print. There's a lot of high-key photography in which the majority of the image is pure white. Snow, without texture and tone in a print, will appear pure white and can often look unreal. Meanwhile, the actual scene may have been overcast, rendering the snow greyer or bluer. Wildlife paintings often render snow as grey or blue. How should you approach this?Support the showWild Nature Photo TravelPhotography Workshops and Expeditions around the Worldwww.wildnaturephototravel.comSupport the Show and fellow Nature Photographer: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/JoshuaHolko/membershipFind us on Social MediaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Joshuaholko/Twitter: https://twitter.com/HolkoJoshuaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshuaholko/Need to Contact us? info@jholko.com 

In this episode, I discuss auto focus techniques that can really help your hit rate in the field. If you have ever struggled with Auto Focus and your 'keeper rate,' then this is the podcast for you.

In this episode, I discuss my current approach to culling and editing thousands of RAW photographs, whether from a long day in the field or upon returning to the studio at the end of a trip. I cover the software I use, why I use it, how I choose my selects, what gets kept and what gets deleted. Culling and editing can be an extremely time-consuming part of the photographic process, but it is an absolutely critical stage in distilling the work to a manageable level while keeping only the very best.Support the showWild Nature Photo TravelPhotography Workshops and Expeditions around the Worldwww.wildnaturephototravel.comSupport the Show and fellow Nature Photographer: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/JoshuaHolko/membershipFind us on Social MediaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Joshuaholko/Twitter: https://twitter.com/HolkoJoshuaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshuaholko/Need to Contact us? info@jholko.com

After an extended (reluctant, but necessary) hiatus Amy Mullins returns to the Triple R airwaves with long-time friend of the show and fungi expert Dr Alison Pouliot! She speaks about her two latest visually stunning books, Funga Obscura: Photo Journeys Among Fungi (NewSouth Publishing) – a book about fungi and the photography of fungi, and Mushroom Day: A Story of 24 Hours and 24 Fungal Lives (University of Chicago Press). Enchantingly illustrated by Stuart Patience, Alison's book takes us on a global tour of some highly peculiar and fascinating fungi across a 24-hour period. Amy's current favourite; the Hairy Nuts Disco (Lanzia echinophila) lives in the spine of a chestnut and is based in Europe – take a look for yourself! Or go on a tour with Alison in person and attend one of her workshops, fungi forays, talks, and other events this autumn between April and June. Alison is a headline speaker at the fourth annual Moorabool Mushroom Festival in Bacchus Marsh, organised by MYCOmmunity, which takes place this weekend on April 18–19 2026. PS. A little note from me to say, thank you for your patience and kindness while I've been on leave and for all the generous messages of support and encouragement on the textline welcoming me back on air. Community radio, and specifically this show for me is about having independent, earnest, and stimulating conversations, with a foundational shared passion for beauty, critical-thinking, and justice. It's a listening, learning, and creative corner of the radio-verse for people who care. Much love back to all who listen xx

In this episode, I talk briefly about the three different colour spaces - SRGB, Adobe RGB and Pro Photo RGB and when you should use each and why. This is not a deep dive into the colour space world, but rather a short discussion of soft proofing for various outputs and how it relates to colour space choice in the real world.Support the showWild Nature Photo TravelPhotography Workshops and Expeditions around the Worldwww.wildnaturephototravel.comSupport the Show and fellow Nature Photographer: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/JoshuaHolko/membershipFind us on Social MediaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Joshuaholko/Twitter: https://twitter.com/HolkoJoshuaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshuaholko/Need to Contact us? info@jholko.com

In this episode, I offer a strong opinion about why the 'People's Choice Award' is a bad idea in photographic competitions. Such categories are never won by the 'best' photograph in class but are invariably taken out by whoever can scream the loudest on social media, 'Vote for Me!' This approach is the exact antithesis of why anyone should be entering a photographic competition, and such categories do little to foster the promotion of quality photography. Entering photography competitions should (if we enter for the right reasons) be about improving our work, growing as photographers through the feedback of our professional peers and competing against ourselves, and not worrying about social media popularity.Support the showWild Nature Photo TravelPhotography Workshops and Expeditions around the Worldwww.wildnaturephototravel.comSupport the Show and fellow Nature Photographer: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/JoshuaHolko/membershipFind us on Social MediaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Joshuaholko/Twitter: https://twitter.com/HolkoJoshuaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshuaholko/Need to Contact us? info@jholko.com 

In this episode, I briefly discuss the Auto Focus Guide Canon has published for the Canon EOS R1 and dive into a discussion on the ideal boots for cold-weather photography. I will publish a fairly extensive blog post on boots for cold-weather photography, as well as gloves and camera bags, in the near future.

In this episode I sit down with legendary photographer, guide, and longtime friend Eric Rock for a conversation packed with field-tested wisdom, big-picture perspective, and the kind of insight that only comes from a lifetime spent photographing (and guiding instructional photo tours) in wild places.We dive into what it really takes to become a stronger nature photographer, from learning to capture a wildlife subject with intention, to building fieldcraft techniques that help you create better images before you ever touch the shutter. We also get into the nuts and bolts of photography: prime lenses vs. zooms, what focal lengths Eric tends to trust most for wildlife, how he thinks about exposure, and why the histogram is still one of his favorite tools on a digital camera. Eric also discusses his editing philosophy, his evolving visual style, and how photography can be used as a meaningful tool for conservation and education.This episode is full of practical advice, but it's also a deeper conversation about patience, purpose, and staying connected to the passion that got you into photography in the first place.In this episode, we discuss:Why bears are such powerful teachers for wildlife photographersHow to approach wildlife photography ethically and effectivelyThe importance of guides, awareness, and fieldcraftTelephoto choices, zooms vs. primes, and lens versatilitySetting photography goals for daily practice and long-term growthWhat makes a compelling travel photographHow to become successful in nature photography todayWhy the histogram still mattersEric's minimalist editing workflow and evolving creative styleOM System gear, favorite lenses, and surprisingly useful non-camera gearFind Eric Rock online:Website / portfolio: Eric Rock Photography Instagram: @ericsrock OM SYSTEM Ambassador profile: official ambassador page and learning resources Additional Photo Resources: Court's YouTube ChannelNew Course!

In this episode, I wrap up the photography festival Xposure in Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates and share my thoughts on this industry-leading event. Event organisers around the world should take note of what has been achieved and continues to be achieved in the UAE in relation to photography and photographic festivals and events. Sharjah and the Xposure organisers are setting both a world and industry-leading standard for others to follow.

In this episode of Get Real or Die Trying, host Amadon DellErba sits down with Jonathan Buford — wilderness photographer, master brewer, entrepreneur, and co‑founder of Arizona Wilderness Brewing Company — for a raw conversation about land, business, conservation, and what it really means to live in relationship with place.​Jonathan shares his journey from starting a small service business and homebrewing in his garage to building Arizona Wilderness into a nationally recognized, conservation‑minded brewery rooted in the desert landscapes of his home. Together, Amadon and Jonathan explore how the way we grow, make, and consume things mirrors our relationship to land and community — and why any meaningful “wilderness ethic” has to show up in our everyday choices, not just our weekend hikes.​This conversation dives into sacred commerce, storytelling through beer, the soul of the Sonoran Desert, localism, and the hard lessons of building a mission‑driven company in a profit‑driven culture. Jonathan speaks candidly about failure, risk, and humility, and about how photographing all of Arizona's wilderness areas reshaped his understanding of public lands, responsibility, and what it means to belong to a place.Weaving together ecology, entrepreneurship, creativity, and cultural renewal, this episode reveals why protecting wild places is inseparable from how we do business and how we treat each other. It points to a future where beer, art, and stewardship are not separate lanes, but one path toward a more alive and attentive way of living.If you're ready to rethink what “success” looks like, question extractive business models, and explore what real stewardship looks like on the ground in the American Southwest — this conversation will leave you challenged, inspired, and invited to take responsibility for your own corner of the world.#jonathanbuford #arizonawilderness #sacredcommerce #getrealordietrying

A massive tome of a book containing the sum of Richard's work from Antarctica, the Falkland Islands, South Shetlands and South Georgia.

In this episode, I spend some time looking into what is coming up in 2026. Historically, I have done a very long blog post or podcast that is both a retrospective on the current year (the year that was) and a look forward into the new year.

This episode looks ahead to 2026, with some thoughts on travel, equipment, and photography in general.In other news, I was also appointed an Adobe Community Expert for both Lightroom and Photoshop this week.

On this episode of "Money" Market, Owen LaFave talks with acclaimed Tampa Bay photographer Andy Glogower, whose striking wildlife and landscape images have a way of stopping people mid-scroll. His talent has earned him a multitude of awards and recognitions, including the title of Nature Photographer of the Year, a spot in the Top 10 Photographers by the Florida Professional Photographers, and representation for Team USA where he achieved the bronze medal in the Professional Photographers Association's World Photographic Cup. Andy shares how he transforms everyday settings – whether a quiet retention pond or the bustling ZooTampa – into unforgettable works of art. His signature style of clean, focused photography invites viewers to pause, breathe, and see the world a little differently. More than just a conversation about photography, this episode is about creativity, authenticity, and the joy of finding beauty in unexpected places. Owen and Andy dive into the magic behind capturing "the moment," from binocular-assisted birdwatching trips to chasing that perfect light. They also explore how AI is reshaping photography, from removing distractions with a click to fabricating scenes so convincing, even close friends can't tell the difference.

When photographer Jonas Paurell set out to explore the relationship between humans and the natural world, he embraced a practice that moves fluidly between art, documentary, and environmental storytelling. His images are rooted in a deep engagement with place—whether remote mountain landscapes or fragile ecosystems—and they reflect both an aesthetic sensitivity and an ecological urgency. Jonas's work doesn't simply document the environment; it raises questions about belonging, responsibility, and how our presence shapes the land we inhabit. That journey has led to long-term projects that blend collaboration with communities, careful observation, and a visual language that feels both timeless and immediate. Rather than leaning on spectacle, Jonas turns toward intimacy—capturing the quiet tension and beauty that emerge when people and nature meet. The result is a body of work that challenges us to reconsider not only how we see the world but how we live within it.

In this episode, I review Daniel Bergmann's wonderful new book 'Birds in Iceland - A Visual Journey'. In case you want to skip the podcast (you shouldn't), I will give you the short of it - Buy it. It is a fabulous example of how a photographic book should be approached, designed and executed.

In this episode, I take a moment to acknowledge the passing of Sebastião Salgado - a photographer whose work documented mankind's destruction of our planet. Those of you familiar with Sebastião's photography will already know that he specialised in humanitarian documentary photojournalism. You may not be aware however that he was incredibly active in conservation in Brazil and that he was responsible for the replantation of millions of trees and the reconstruction of an entire ecosystem. Perhaps his most well known book ‘Workers: An Archaeology of the Industrial Age‘ should be required reading for every photographer.  This short video in which Sebastião discusses his career and his photography is well worth fifteen minutes of your time. It is a remarkable insight into a truly remarkable photographer. Watch the video here: VIDEO Also in this episode, discuss my upcoming back-to-back trips for the Atlantic Puffin in Iceland as well as the 18-day expedition to Svalbard for Polar Bears in the pack ice. These three trips present some unique equipment challenges making packing a difficult compromise.2025 Zimanga South Africa Trip ReportSupport the showWild Nature Photo TravelPhotography Workshops and Expeditions around the Worldwww.wildnaturephototravel.comSupport the Show and fellow Nature Photographer: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/JoshuaHolko/membershipFind us on Social MediaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Joshuaholko/Twitter: https://twitter.com/HolkoJoshuaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshuaholko/Need to Contact us? info@jholko.com

If you've ever picked up a National Geographic and skimmed across the gorgeous images that cover those pages - you've probably come across the work of our guest experts. This week, we're coming to you with a LIVE! Getting Curious episode with THE preeminent nature photographers in the game about the risk and reward of their art, their conservation efforts, and how they support each other in the process like the power couple they are! Cristina "Mitty" Mittermeier, a visionary photographer, marine biologist, and avid conservationist, stands as a formidable force in the realm of environmental advocacy. In 2014 she, alongside her partner Paul Nicklen, co-founded SeaLegacy, a non-profit organization dedicated to creating a healthy and abundant ocean through powerful storytelling and impactful visual media. Through her lens, she conveys the delicate balance of natural ecosystems and the urgency to preserve these habitats that sustain a myriad of life. Her art, driven by a desire to make a difference, serves as a compelling call to action, illustrating the transformative power of photography in raising awareness and inspiring change. Paul Nicklen is a Canadian photographer, filmmaker, and marine biologist who has documented the beauty and plight of our planet for more than thirty years. Through the power of the image and, just as importantly, emotion and raw power, his work has been singled out for creating a unique connection between image and viewer by featuring wild subjects in some of the most extreme conditions known on Earth. Nicklen is a Sony Artisan of Imagery and aligns with Rolex's Perpetual Planet initiative on collaborative efforts to preserve the natural World.

Welcome to another episode of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen. Today, we're thrilled to have the incredible photographer Claude Fiddler join us. In this episode, Claude shares his fascinating journey working on a photography project in the remote Brooks Range of Alaska. He delves into the considerable challenges faced, from the high costs of flying, to securing permission from indigenous communities. At nearly 68, Claude proves that age is no barrier, bringing determination and problem-solving prowess to his craft. He discusses the profound impact of focusing on fewer locations, resulting in deeply meaningful photographs of the Sierra and the Brooks Range. Our discussion touches on creative interpretation in photography, the artistic process of creating woodblock slipcases for his book, and the delicate balance between exploring broadly versus delving deeply into specific places. Claude also highlights the significance of intentionality in both photography and life, reflecting on the importance of spending time wisely and experiencing the present moment. He introduces us to a variety of photographers to learn from and offers insights into the meticulous process of creating a compelling photography book. Join us for an enriching conversation about artistry, perseverance, and the love for specific places. This is an episode you won't want to miss! Resources Mentioned: 1.
