What does it mean to build a life in images?In this episode of Ojai Talk of the Town, I sit down with Ojai-based artist Dennis Mukai, whose career spans commercial illustration, celebrity portrait photography, and a strikingly original fine art practice.Born in Hiroshima and raised in Southern California, Mukai trained at the Art Center College of Design before building a nationally recognized career as an illustrator and photographer. Over the decades, he has worked with major brands, major periodicals such as Playboy, photographed musicians and actors, and developed a meticulous layered painting technique in which he sands through pigment to reveal what lies beneath — work that feels at once cinematic, nostalgic, and quietly subversive.We talk about:• Growing up between cultures• The discipline of commercial art versus the freedom of fine art• Photographing public figures (especially beautiful women) — and searching for the private human inside the persona• Why process matters as much as product• How Ojai's light and stillness shape his current work• Reinvention, longevity, and what it means to keep evolvingThis is a conversation about craft, patience, beauty, and the long arc of an artistic life.We did not talk about cherry salmon, tiger maple or the architectural highlights of San Miguel de Allende. If you care about art, photography, discipline, or the creative journey itself — you'll enjoy this one. Check out Dennis' work at ...https://www.dennismukai.com/
Michael Schultz is a wildlife, aurora, and landscape photographer based in Alaska, where vast wilderness and glowing winter skies shape both his life and his work. Featured by National Geographic, Michael is widely recognised for his expertise in photographing the Northern Lights and capturing remote landscapes that feel raw, quiet, and deeply immersive. Originally drawn to the outdoors rather than photography, Michael found the camera became a way to preserve emotional experiences rather than simply record locations. His work is rooted in honest storytelling, natural light, and a strong connection to place—focusing on how landscapes feel, not just how they look. In this episode, Michael shares his journey from avid outdoorsman to full-time professional photographer and workshop leader. He discusses the challenges and rewards of long exposure photography, especially in extreme Arctic conditions, and how photographing aurora requires patience, presence, and technical precision. Michael also reflects on leading small-group photography workshops through Alaska and beyond, helping photographers slow down, connect with nature, and create meaningful images rather than chasing trends. He explores the impact of social media and AI on photography, and why authentic experiences and real human connections remain central to his creative philosophy. This conversation offers insight into photographing some of the most spectacular natural phenomena on Earth, while staying grounded in purpose, presence, and storytelling. I hope you enjoy the show!

WELCOME: As the host of We Don't Die," my mission is to explore the vast and mysterious landscape of the afterlife. I interview guests from all walks of life with wildly different experiences. While I may not personally align with every belief or conclusion shared on this show, I do believe that everyone's story has value. There is not just one truth; there is your truth. I invite you to listen with an open mind, take the information that empowers your life, and if something does not fit...simply leave that behind. ABOUT THIS EPISODE: Timothy P. Malone was a business tycoon with a staffing empire worth $400 million, but behind the scenes, he was fighting a secret seven-year battle with opioid addiction. He credits his recovery not to a rehab center, but to the unconditional love of his dog, Boo Boo. In this interview, Tim shares his personal and often surprising perspective on what happened after Boo Boo passed. He describes a series of intense spiritual events—from photographing "orbs" and "angels" to his belief that he has opened a portal for souls to cross over. Tim's views are unique, unconventional, and deeply personal. Whether you are a believer in spirit photography or a skeptic looking to understand the human need for connection, Tim's passion for the unseen world is undeniable. In this episode, Tim discusses: * His journey from high-functioning addiction to sobriety. * How the grief of losing a pet triggered a spiritual opening. * His collection of "Spirit Photos" and what he believes they show. * His controversial theories on portals and reincarnation.

This open access book offers the first in-depth appraisal of the photographic archive of Frank Scholten (1881–1942), a queer Dutch photographer and Catholic convert whose work in Palestine between 1921 and 1923 provides a remarkable lens on the intersecting dynamics of modernity, religion, colonialism, and visual culture. Drawing on over 26,000 photographs, it situates Scholten's work within transnational religious, colonial, and nationalist networks. Employing a relational methodology, Photographing Biblical Modernity: Frank Scholten in British Mandate Palestine (I.B. Tauris, 2026) treats photography not merely as visual documentation but as a site of layered cultural encounters shaped by the movements of people, ideas, and ideologies. It interrogates biblical visuality, the performance of indigeneity, intercommunal relations, and the gendered politics of labour and nationalism.Through interdisciplinary engagement with visual culture, Middle East studies, and gender theory, this book considers how Scholten's positionality offers insights into both the granular details of Palestinian society and broader macro-historical shifts during a period of profound transition. Rather than framing Palestine as a biblical relic, Scholten's photographs reveal a socially and politically complex society under early British Mandate rule. Ultimately, this book positions Scholten's archive as a vital historical source for understanding the layered and contested narratives that have defined Palestine's modern history.

Lighting Black skin isn't complicated - but it is often taught wrong. In this episode of The Nerdy Photographer, we break down how to photograph darker skin tones beautifully, accurately, and intentionally. From highlights and contrast to common lighting mistakes photographers make, this is a must-listen conversation for anyone serious about portrait photography. Learn better lighting Create stronger images Photograph people more honestly For decades, photography education, film stock, and digital camera technology have been built around a narrow definition of "correct" exposure - one that often fails Black and darker-skinned subjects. The result? Images that lack depth, nuance, and respect for the full spectrum of skin tones. In this episode of The Nerdy Photographer, we dive deep into the art, science, and responsibility of lighting Black-skinned subjects properly. This is not about shortcuts or presets - it's about understanding light, skin, and intention.

We also dive into Alana's dual role as both author and photographer on her books (and others!)— unpacking what that workflow looks like in practice, pros and cons, how creative decisions shift when one person holds both lenses, and what it takes to balance vision, logistics, and stamina across an entire project.Mentioned in this episode:• Aloha Kitchen: Recipes from Hawai‘i• Aloha Veggies: Veg-Forward Recipes Celebrating the Flavors of Hawai‘i• Salad Freak by Jess Damuck• Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat by Samin Nosrat• Community cookbooks• Coco: 10 World-Leading Masters Choose 100 Contemporary Chefs• Kimi's Kitchen: An Ocean Woman's Guide to Wild Home Cooking by Kimi Werner• Hetty McKinnon
Deeply shaped by Australia's outback, Adam Edwards approaches landscape photography with patience, resilience, and intention. The harsh, unpredictable environment of the outback has influenced not only how Adam photographs, but how he teaches—working creatively with imperfect conditions and finding meaning in every frame. Adam has committed himself fully to photography, spending years refining both his fieldcraft and post-processing to create images that feel authentic and personal. In 2025, he took a major step by opening a gallery in Broken Hill. More than a showcase for his work, the gallery serves as a creative hub—celebrating the region, fostering connection, and supporting a growing photographic community in the outback. In this conversation, Adam reflects on moving from passionate hobbyist to full-time professional, sharing stories of photographing extreme weather, managing a gallery, and embracing the realities of a creative business. He speaks openly about the importance of mindfulness, intentional image-making, and developing a personal style that reflects lived experience rather than trends. Teaching and mentoring now sit at the heart of Adam's practice. Through workshops and one-on-one guidance, he prioritises real feedback, human connection, and community—values he believes are increasingly vital in an online-driven world. For Adam, photography is about far more than the finished image; it's about process, place, and the people who shape the journey. I hope you enjoy the show!

In this episode, Agence France-Presse (AFP) global news editor Roland de Courson joins the podcast to discuss his photo-and-essay project — K-Scar — documenting life, memory and tourism along the inter-Korean border. De Courson explains why he describes the border as a “scar” and reflects on how indifference, curiosity and commercialized “dark tourism” shape the way people experience the DMZ and nearby frontline sites. The conversation moves from observatories and curated attractions to quieter human stories, such as aging refugees and communities living inside civilian control zones. He also discusses how art, everyday life and even a Starbucks overlooking North Korea reveal the normalization and contradictions of the border. Roland de Courson is a French journalist born in Madrid. He started his career in Canada and joined AFP in 1994. He is currently a global news editor in Seoul. For over two years, Roland traveled along the inter-Korean border to document his K-Scar project, which can be found online here. About the podcast: The North Korea News Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Jacco Zwetsloot exclusively for NK News, covering all things DPRK — from news to extended interviews with leading experts and analysts in the field, along with insights from our very own journalists.

A winter photography experiment: how to photograph frozen soap bubbles. Includes bubble recipes and camera settings tips. Transcript available here: newyorkcityphotosafari.com
In this week's episode, Episode 568 of The Perceptive Photographer, I spend some time reflecting on a tension many photographers experience, whether we admit it or not: the pull between photographing for ourselves and photographing for validation. At some point, often without realizing it, we start making images with an audience in mind. We think about what will be liked, shared, or understood rather than what genuinely holds our attention. Validation isn't inherently bad. It can be encouraging and even motivating, but when it becomes our north star, so to speak, when we make photographs, it quietly starts to shape our choices. Subjects become safer, risks become fewer, and curiosity gives way to performance. This comes up again and again in my work. I have it course-corrected, but a subtle change shifts it back off track. There will be periods when I am/was/will be clearly trying to impress—chasing responses rather than experiences. The camera shifted from exploration to results. Over time, that approach gets a little exhausting. I also know that when I stopped trying to impress and started paying closer attention to what actually interested me. The work became quieter. The subjects became simpler. It becomes a meaningful body of work. And while the external responses might not be immediate or loud or what I hoped for, the photographs felt more honest and more meaningful. This isn't about rejecting social media or avoiding sharing work. It's about recognizing who you're really making photographs for and what happens when you allow your own curiosity to lead. I invite listeners to consider what they would photograph if no one else ever saw the image—and why those photographs might matter more than we think.

What if the most powerful pivot in your life begins the moment you admit you don't know the next step?In this episode of The Resonate Podcast, Aideen sits down with photographer, coach, and guide Michèle Sennesael to explore a life shaped not by certainty, but by listening. Michèle shares her journey from the intensity of a prestigious newsroom to a quieter, truer path—one that began with a hunch sparked by the Haiti earthquake and unfolded through surrender, chance encounters, and deep trust in what wanted to emerge next.Through her lens, Michèle learned to see beyond surface stories: the dignity of street children in Nicaragua, the quiet resilience of families, and eventually the raw, life-altering presence of birth itself. Photographing doulas and home births, she realised she wasn't just capturing moments—she was holding space, reflecting strength, tenderness, and truth back to others.We explore the pivotal moments that reshaped her path: an arrest that stripped away certainty, a season of grounding in nature, and a single question asked by a stranger that reframed everything. These experiences led her from photography into coaching, where she now supports others in navigating visibility, self-worth, and the fear of being truly seen.Michèle shares gentle, practical tools for meeting these edges with compassion—slow breathing to settle the nervous system, honest inquiry to loosen old stories, and small, embodied steps that create safety in authenticity. The invitation running through this conversation is simple and brave: turn the lens inward, focus on what's true now, and allow the image of your life to develop in its own time.Connect with MichèleWebsite: www.michelesennesael.comInstagram: @michelesennesael Facebook: @michele.sennesaelLinkedIn: @michèle-sennesael-b5820511This conversation offers a compassionate map back to yourself.

Tasmanian wilderness photographer Cam Blake reflects on a lifetime shaped by the landscapes of Australia, beginning with childhood explorations in Northeast Victoria. Now an accredited and commercially licensed photographer, Cam is known for his deep connection to remote places and for capturing the raw, rugged character of Tasmania's wild environments. His imagery has appeared in major publications including Australian Geographic, Olympus UK/US, and WILD Outdoor Magazine, showcasing both his technical skill and his profound respect for nature. Cam explains that he has always approached photography with a scientific curiosity rather than a purely artistic mindset, yet the emotional pull of the natural world remains at the heart of his work. Beyond creating images, he is dedicated to helping others grow as photographers. Through multi-day workshops across Tasmania and mainland Australia, he offers hands-on guidance, inspiring participants to develop their craft while immersing themselves in spectacular wilderness settings. He speaks candidly about the realities of running a photography business, the importance of preserving memories through images, and the therapeutic value photography can offer in an increasingly fast-paced world. Cam also shares his thoughts on the future of the industry—its challenges, its rewards, and the enduring power of connecting people to wild places through visual storytelling.

PHOTOGRAPHING THE MOON AND SEA Colleague Anika Burgess, Flashes of Brilliance. Early photography expanded scientific understanding, allowing humanity to visualize the inaccessible. James Nasmyth produced realistic images of the moon by photographing plaster models based on telescope observations, aiming to prove its volcanic nature. Simultaneously, Louis Boutan spent a decade perfecting underwater photography, capturing divers in hard-hat helmets. These efforts demonstrated that photography could be a tool for scientific analysis and discovery, revealing details of the natural world previously hidden from the human eye.

F-Stop Collaborate and Listen - A Landscape Photography Podcast
In this episode of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen, Matt Payne sits down with mountain photographer Scott Kranz to explore Scott's dramatic shift from a legal career to full-time outdoor photography in the Cascades. They dive into Scott's deep connection with Washington's mountains, especially the North Cascades, and the physical and mental challenges of documenting them. Scott shares insights from his massive projects—the 50 Peaks and Washington 100—to celebrate these landscapes and the effort required to capture their rugged beauty. The conversation also covers the importance of local passion projects, building relationships with brands, navigating risk and logistics in alpine photography, and Scott's process for curating his upcoming book, Cascade High, which blends storytelling, adventure, and meaningful imagery. If you're looking for inspiration around creative risk, project-building in photography, and the transformative power of the mountains, this episode won't disappoint.

Hear a mixtape from Derick Fiedler aka @tumbleweed_photographer, a Lehigh Valley-based photographer who has shot a number of live music shows over the past few years. His work includes DIY shows — like Tape Swap Radio's Live in the Garden sponsored shows in Bethlehem this past summer — as well as larger concerts at places like Archer Music Hall in Allentown. Derick has become a fixture at shows in the area for his willingness to help the local DIY music scene and his impressive high quality photographs. Photographing many different shows has given Derick a wealth of knowledge when it comes to lesser-known bands, and his mixtape that he put together for Tape Swap showcases some of his favorite music.

What if you could turn a creative side gig into $16K photographing dogs—even if you've never charged for a portrait session before? In this episode, Felix Bird shares how he went from composing music and shooting event videos to earning real income as a boutique photographer. With no formal portrait business, Felix joined Boutique Breakthrough and followed each step with courage, skepticism, and eventually—results. ● The moment he stopped doubting the pricing model and believed he could actually do this ● How photographing kids (and dogs!) became more than just a favor for friends ● What changed when his wife, a fellow creative, saw how real and sustainable this path was If you're juggling other creative work and wondering if this can really work for you too—Felix's story is the proof and the push you've been waiting for.

So I ask you, precisely, at what point in the process does the digital capture transmogrify into artwork? When you finish processing the image? When you make a print? When you use the image in a PDF?

Isabella La Rocca Gonzalez is an artist, writer, photographer, teacher and activist. She describes her work as "part of a long tradition in art and photography: to bring to light and find beauty in the hidden, unconscious, or disregarded. As the daughter of emigrants from Mexico and Italy respectively, I strive to reconcile values from my Indigenous roots with my European heritage." Her artistic work is richly entangled with her ecofeminist, total liberation activism.Her book of photographs and creative nonfiction, "Censored Landscapes", which exposes sites of animal agriculture, was published in December 2024 by Lantern Publishing. The book has been widely endorsed, including by previous Sentientism guests Jo-Anne McArthur, Marc Bekoff, Robert Grillo, Jonathan Balcombe and Lisa Kemmerer.In Sentientist Conversations we talk about the most important questions: “what's real?”, “who matters?” and "how can we make a better world?"Sentientism answers those questions with "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings." The video of our conversation is here on YouTube.00:00 Clips“It took me 11 years to create the book… I love the tradition of American landscape photography. So I decided to just find as many different kinds of farms where animals are bred, exploited, and slaughtered and photograph the context… When you photograph an animal or a person, it's almost an act of empathy because you know when you're really in the flow of it, you are the thing you're photographing... My utopian world would be vegan. There's just no way that a world that I imagined would exploit or slaughter animals in any way, shape, or form… The path to that was very imaginable.”00:51 WelcomeEndorsements of "Censored Landscapes" by previous Sentientism guests Jo-Anne McArthur, Marc Bekoff, Mark Grillo, Jonathan Balcombe and Lisa Kemmerer.02:55 Isabella's IntroVeganism, art, photography, writing.Censored Landscapes: “It took me 11 years to create the book.”“It started because I photographed an abandoned egg farm where 50,000 hens had been abandoned in a battery cage egg farm.”“I don't have the bravery to infiltrate these facilities and go in and expose the cruel practices of these facilities, but I love landscape photography.”“I decided to just find as many different kinds of these kinds of farms where animals are bred, exploited, and slaughtered, and photographed the context.”Photographing in sanctuaries: “So that these animals are represented as individuals”07:03 What's Real?23:28 What Matters?30:29 Who Matters?49:37 A Better World?01:16:00 Follow Isabella:- Glissi- Censored Landscapes- @eyelarocca- Isabella on BlueSkyAnd more... full show notes at Sentientism.info.Sentientism is “Evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings.” More at Sentientism.info.

F-Stop Collaborate and Listen - A Landscape Photography Podcast
In this episode of "F-Stop Collaborate and Listen," host Matt Payne chats with Jeroen Van Nieuwenhove, a Belgian-born, Iceland-based landscape and nature photographer renowned for his dramatic imagery of Iceland's volcanoes and highlands. Jeroen describes how photographing his first volcanic eruption reignited his creative passion and profoundly shaped his approach to storytelling and visual art, emphasizing authentic experiences, patience, and the emotional connection to the landscape over chasing social media validation. The conversation explores the ethical challenges of drone photography, the dangers of rapidly growing photo tourism in Iceland, the importance of safety and legal compliance for workshop leaders, and lessons learned from self-publishing his successful book "New Earth." Jeroen also shares practical advice for visiting Iceland, his views on AI and manipulation in photography, the value of meaningful struggle, and recommendations for other inspiring photographers to follow.

Seamus Murphy is an Irish photographer and filmmaker who has spent decades documenting life in some of the world's most challenging places—from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan to Nigeria's Boko Haram territories. Having left recession-era Ireland in the 1980s to teach himself photography in American darkrooms, Murphy has become that rare artist who moves seamlessly between conflict zones and recording studios, creating books of Afghan women's poetry while directing music videos that anticipated Brexit. Tyler and Seamus discuss the optimistic case for Afghanistan, his biggest fear when visiting any conflict zone, how photography has shaped perceptions of Afghanistan, why Russia reminded him of pre-Celtic Tiger Ireland, how the Catholic Church's influence collapsed so suddenly in Ireland, why he left Ireland in the 1980s, what shapes Americans impression of Ireland, living part-time in Kolkata and what the future holds for that “slightly dying” but culturally vibrant city, his near-death encounters with Boko Haram in Nigeria, the visual similarities between Michigan and Russia, working with PJ Harvey on Let England Shake and their travels to Kosovo and Afghanistan together, his upcoming film about an Afghan family he's documented for thirty years, and more.

Photography and the paranormal have always shared a strange chemistry—an eerie interplay of light, shadow, and the unknown. In our Season 34 opener, we venture deep into chilling accounts of cursed cameras that seem to bring death with every click, psychic photo séances where the dead imprint themselves onto film, and long-forgotten experiments suggesting photography may capture echoes of the past… or even the soul. From haunted Polaroids to Russian scientists claiming to photograph time itself, we unravel the unsettling history of spirit photography—and how it continues to haunt the present. Then in our Plus+ extension, we follow the trail into the neuroscience of DMT, exploring a controversial theory: have alien intelligences hijacked the molecule? With insights from Andrew Gallimore's new book 'Death by Astonishment', we confront disturbing accounts of malevolent entities intercepting psychonauts, twisting ancient rituals into interdimensional traps. Could the veil be weaponized? All that and more in this new season's unnerving opener.
