Krystle Wright, an Australian adventure photographer, cinematographer, and director, leads a semi-nomadic lifestyle, capturing unique moments from extreme sports and expeditions worldwide. Introduced to photography through a disposable camera, she treasured its limited exposures during a summer trip, finding joy in its simplicity. Her insatiable curiosity propels her, relishing the unpredictability of travel. From paragliding in Pakistan to swimming with sperm whales, each assignment offers a distinct adventure. After a decade in the US, she returned to Australia in 2020 amid the lockdown. Reflecting on a storm-chasing film with Nick Moir, she recalls being caught in a ferocious dust storm, experiencing the awe-inspiring power of nature first-hand. Witnessing a tornado while driving, she was captivated by its hypnotic formation, fuelling her fascination with storm chasing. Krystle's work reflects her passion for adventure and storytelling, capturing the essence of extreme environments and the human spirit within them. Her photographs and films evoke a sense of wonder and inspire viewers to explore the world around them. With an unwavering dedication to her craft, she continues to push the boundaries of visual storytelling, leaving an indelible mark on the world of adventure photography. We talk about her passion for capturing the natural world, the evolution of her career from sports photography to adventure photography, and the challenges she's faced in the industry along with lots more.

Listen back to this podcast from live talks series “Walkleys Live: The Journalism Gene” at Sydney Festival 2021, with host Benjamin Law discussing the art and pressures of photojournalism in natural disasters with photojournalists Sylvia Liber and Nick Moir. This “Walkleys Live: The Journalism Gene” podcast was produced by Sydney Festival in collaboration with the Walkley Foundation.
This episode we are teaming up with Andrew Johnstone from TAKE Magazine to interview the Chief Photographer of The Sydney Morning Herald, Nick Moir. Known as the ‘fire guy’, Nick has built a reputation on capturing award-winning imagery and being in the right place, at the right time. He passes it off as being lucky, but the passion of his descriptions and depth of his research suggests it's more about his genuine commitment and love of the profession. Beginning at SMH at the tender age of 17, Nick co-founded the Oculi collective with other well-known documentary photographers. We look at why a group like this was needed and how it has evolved through the evolution of the web and social media. We touch on storm chasing and end up discussing the fires that dominated headlines at the end of 2019. Hearing Nick relate the experience gives you an insight into an event we shouldn’t soon forget. If you haven’t seen his work we’d suggest you check it out while you are listening to get the full experience.

On the suggestion of a listener, we contacted a few Australian photographers to get their take on the devastating bushfire season that has burned more than 18 million hectares and taken thirty-four lives, since June 2019. We were fortunate to connect with Nick Moir, self-described storm-chaser, wildfire photographer, and current chief photographer at the Sydney Morning Herald. On this week’s episode of the B&H Photography Podcast, we speak with Moir about his experiences photographing this year’s fires, as well as the overall news coverage of this disaster. Moir won a 2003 World Press Photographers Award for his coverage of that season’s bushfires, so he knows of what he speaks, and we talk with him about his approach to shooting such a dangerous subject, including planning, gear, safety measures, and the type of fire photos he prefers to make. We also discuss with Moir the fire season itself and why this year is so much worse than previous seasons. Finally, we talk about the news coverage of the fires and how his news organization covers the many stories that are part of this disaster, in comparison to how international journalists and news organizations cover the story. Before we speak with Moir, we welcome David Brommer, organizer of the 2020 Depth of Field Professional Portrait, Wedding, and Event Photography Conference, which takes place here in New York and streams online, on February 11 and 12. Join us for this timely conversation. Guests: Nick Moir and David Brommer Photograph: © Nick Moir

Adventure photographer, director, filmmaker, Canon ambassador, and all around bad ass Krystle Wright returns to the podcast to talk about her three most current short films "Chasing Monsters", "In Perpetual Motion", and "A Restless Peace" (Links Below). Make sure to check out Krystle's original appearance on the show back on episode #52 to hear the story of how she got started. During this conversation we discuss what it was like trying to create three new films for Canon over the course of three years, putting together creative teams and knowing how to let them help guide her in expressing her own vision, what it was like chasing storms through "Tornado Ally" with the most recent guest of the show Nick Moir, trying to create films that have more space to breathe and interpret the imagery instead of always needing to let the audience know what you are saying, her thoughts on the current state of "like driven" content on social media, and what's next for her as she continues to evolve as an artist.

Award winning photojournalist and renowned storm chaser Nick Moir joins the show to talk about what it's like facing down every type of severe weather you could imagine and how he has continued to evolve as a photographer, journalist, and creative after years in the field working with the Sydney Morning Herald. You can get a brief glimpse into what the fast paced world of storm chasing looks like in Krystle Wright's new film "Chasing Monsters" which features Nick and his work. Growing up in Sydney's Blue Mountains, Nick was inspired at an early age by the natural beauty and power of the storms and bushfires that were part of existence in that landscape. As the son of a political cartoonist, art and creative expression were also a part of his young life and soon he would find his voice through the lens of a camera. He became fascinated by the lifestyle of the newspaper photojournalist and began working his way up the ranks. During the early 2000s, he set out with another photographer to document a devastating bushfire and after two years of coverage they had both brought home the prestigious World Press Photo Award. Although he works as a daily news photojournalist, his continued fascination of storms has sent him all over the world from covering devastating tornadoes in America, to the Tsunami in Indonesia, to raging bushfires in his own backyard. During our conversation we talk about what it's like to mentally recover from the power and tragedy that can be involved in what he shoots, how he prepares for shooting in places like the infamous Tornado Ally, and the advice he gives to other out there wanting to brave the severity of mother nature.

Photographic departments around the world are feeling the squeeze as news organisations cut costs and jobs. In an era of Twitpix and stock-image slideshows, professional photographers face competition from every smartphone and constant challenges to their copyright. But there’s no substitute for a professional photographer’s skill, timing and composition – and a still photograph can capture stories and intimacy beyond any other medium. There are still opportunities for photojournalists, and new models for supporting their work – and certainly no shortage of stories and moments to be captured around the world. Joining Moderator Anne Davies, senior investigative journalist at the Sydney Morning Herald are: Nick Moir, staff photographer for SMH. David Dare Parker, Walkley award winning free-lance photographer. Craig Greenhill, photojournalist at News Limited and multimedia specialist. Andrew Quilty, Walkley winner of the young Australian photojournalist of the year and freelance photographer.
