In this episode of Architecture, Design & Photography, Trent Bell sits down with architect and author Danish Kurani to discuss his latest book, The Spaces That Make Us: Why Design Is Broken and How We Can Create a Happier, Healthier World.  Trent and Danish explore the powerful ways architecture and environmental design shape our psychology, behavior, relationships, and overall well-being. From the spaces we grow up in to the cities we move through every day, the discuss how thoughtful design can influence how we connect, feel, and live. The Spaces That Make Us: Why Design Is Broken and How We Can Create a Happier, Healthier World: https://www.amazon.com/Spaces-That-Make-Us-Healthier/dp/1400249120 About Danish Kurani: Danish Kurani sees how buildings are failing to nourish people. After witnessing how poorly designed environments hold back people across the globe – from the middle of Manhattan to villages in India – he's made it his mission to remake architecture for human flourishing. His groundbreaking designs for New York City, Google, and communities on four continents prove that thoughtful architecture can unlock human potential. Named one of the World's Most Innovative Architects by Fast Company, Kurani has pioneered a human-centered approach that's transforming lives worldwide. His work spans from floating homes in disaster-prone areas to schools in informal settlements, always focusing on one question: how can architecture solve our most pressing social challenges?  A Harvard-trained architect and urban designer, Kurani's architectural ideas have been shared at leading institutions including Stanford, MIT, Harvard, and Columbia, and featured in TIME, World Economic Forum, and the Wall Street Journal. National governments recognize him as a leading voice in social impact architecture – not because he builds beautiful buildings, but because he builds spaces that work for real people.

But her journey has been anything but conventional.From learning darkroom techniques after moving to France and travelling the world, to life aboard a narrowboat and creating a thriving pet photography business, Philippa has always preferred to embrace opportunities rather than overthink them.Angela and Philippa discuss how selling wildlife prints at local markets eventually led to photographing dogs, and how one unexpected request helped shape the direction of her business. They also talk about the importance of printed photographs, balancing creativity with commercial work and why understanding clients is just as important as understanding your camera.Philippa shares how moving from a Nikon D750 to a Nikon Z8 transformed her pet photography and explains why knowing your equipment inside out gives her the confidence to work instinctively.The Six From SheClicks questions bring even more insight, covering everything from life on a canal boat and dream commissions to photographing energetic dogs and adapting to different situations.Above all, Philippa's story is a reminder that you don't have to know exactly where you're heading before you begin. Sometimes the best things happen when you stop waiting, trust yourself and simply give it a go.TakeawaysYou don't have to know exactly where you're heading before taking the first step. Experience often teaches more than endless planning.Starting with the equipment and knowledge you already have is often enough to begin moving forward.Understanding what your audience or clients value is just as important as developing your own creative style.Taking time to photograph purely for enjoyment can help keep creativity alive and prevent burnout.Learning your camera and refining your technical skills gives you the confidence to adapt to different situations.Staying open to opportunities and being willing to try something new can lead to unexpected and rewarding directions.Connect with PhilippaWebsiteInstagramFacebookSupport the show

There was one moment, while immersed in the magnificence of the Icefields Parkway, I realized I had never seen anything like this before, not even in Alaska. We were 5 days into our trip with more to come, but at that moment, I just wanted to stop time. I'll cover it all, from Vancouver to Calgary, in today's TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show.

What happens when you reach the top… and then lose everything? In this episode of Jason Lanier Unfiltered, I sit down with Scott Proposki to talk about something most photographers never hear about—the fall.Scott has worked with giants like HBO, National Geographic, and even the The White House. The kind of résumé most people spend a lifetime chasing. And then… it all went away. This isn't a highlight reel conversation.This is about reality. About losing momentum, losing opportunities, and facing the brutal question: now what? We dive into what it actually takes to rebuild—not just your business, but your mindset. How do you start over when your identity was tied to your success?How do you push forward when the industry moves on without you? And what separates the people who come back stronger from the ones who disappear? If you've ever struggled, doubted yourself, or felt like you're starting from scratch again… this episode is for you. Because success isn't about never falling. It's about what you do when everything you built is gone.

In this episode of Architecture, Design & Photography, Trent Bell sits down with Mike Corsie of Terrapin Landscapes to talk about building a business from the ground up, evolving from lawn care into high-end design-build work, and creating landscapes that feel deeply rooted in Maine.  Mike reflects on 25 years in business, the turning points that helped shape Terrapin's identity, and the importance of craftsmanship, trust, and doing what you say you're going to do. The conversation also explores how landscape can tie architecture to place, why native plants and stone matter, and how great outdoor spaces become part of the experience of home.  They also get into the bigger picture: the realities of running a seasonal business, the pressures of creative work, the changing character of coastal Maine, and the tension between thoughtful development and preserving what makes a place feel authentic. About Terrapin Landscapes:  In 2001, Terrapin consisted of Mike Corsie, a truck, and a mower. He built a network of clients in the community around his home of Kennebunkport and delivered on the promise of deeply personal, quality work. Over the years, he invested what he earned back into the business, adding equipment and building an equally committed team. He connected with clients who wanted much more than a manicured lawn and began flexing the design principles that you recognize in Terrapin today: natural stonework, native plants, careful shoreline stabilization, and an overarching sense of belonging.  Today, Terrapin is recognized as one of Southern Maine's premier landscape companies, with a full-time crew of landscapers, masons, and horticulturists, a fleet of hard earned trucks, and a gorgeous design office in Arundel, ME.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the SheClicks Women in Photography Podcast, Angela Nicholson speaks with adventure photographer and filmmaker Grace Taylorson Smith Pritchard (AKA Grace T.S.P) about building a photography career by following what you genuinely love.Grace's route into photography wasn't straightforward. With a background in law and marine biology, she didn't begin with a clear plan to work in the creative industry. Instead, it was through travel, scuba diving and documenting her experiences that she picked up a camera and started to explore photography more seriously.What makes Grace's story so relatable is that she didn't try to force a niche. Instead, she photographed the things she already loved, including climbing, mountain biking and outdoor adventure. That authenticity naturally led to opportunities, from editorial features in adventure magazines to commercial photography work with outdoor brands.In this conversation, Grace shares what it really takes to work as an adventure photographer. From shooting in extreme environments to managing the physical demands of working in the mountains, she explains why skills, preparation and experience are just as important as creativity.Angela and Grace also discuss the balance between still photography and filmmaking, how personal projects can lead to paid work and why changing camera systems helped her rediscover her creative spark.This episode is a great listen for anyone looking to build a photography career in a way that feels true to them. Grace's journey is a reminder that you don't need a traditional path. Sometimes the best way forward is simply to start by photographing what you love most.Connect with GraceWebsiteInstagramSupport the show

More about is new book: THE INVENTION OF THE FUTURE: A History of Cities in the Modern World.  The future has always been inextricable from urban planning. As the sea level rises and the effects of climate change become harder to ignore, plans for futuristic urban centers like Saudi Arabia's mirrored megacity (The Line) and a floating city in the Maldives make for splashy headlines. Our modern cities—sources of greenhouse gas emissions and water pollution, overcrowding and urban sprawl—pale in comparison. Bruno Carvalho argues in THE INVENTION OF THE FUTURE that while modern-day New York City may not be designed for a period of climate emergency, its nineteenth-century architects certainly had the future in mind when laying out the plans. Carvalho details the feats of engineering that restored Lisbon after the 1755 earthquake, transformed Paris from a medieval city into a grand metropolis, and made sprawling cities like Manhattan easier to plan and develop via the implementation of a grid system. He considers how technological innovations (steel, steam-powered engines, automobiles) and social change (the abolition of slavery, the overthrow of colonial rule) led to the rapid growth and expansion of cities in the global South, from Buenos Aires to Brasilia to Lagos.  The future may appear bleak from our vantage point, but “there is a lot of space for reinvention,” Carvalho writes, “and if we must reinvent, there might be no better place to look than the history of the future.”Bruno Carvalho is a professor at Harvard University, where he teaches courses on cities. He is the author of Porous City: A Cultural History of Rio de Janeiro.  More from us:  Website: www.adppodcast.com  Instagram: http://instagram.com/adppod_  Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/architecture-design-photography/id1447381737  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5qTtT0lpXkVGyksEkN57VS

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the SheClicks Women in Photography Podcast, Angela Nicholson is joined by wildlife photographer and safari leader Ann Aveyard. Ann's journey into photography is anything but conventional. After a career as a nurse in the NHS, she discovered photography later in life, initially picking up a camera to document a once-in-a-lifetime safari trip. That experience sparked a passion that would go on to shape her future.Ann shares how she went from photographing wildlife for enjoyment to running a successful wedding photography business, before ultimately returning to her true love of wildlife photography. She reflects on the turning point during the COVID pandemic that led her to step away from weddings and fully embrace life behind the lens in nature.Throughout the conversation, Ann talks about the importance of patience, observation and understanding animal behaviour in order to capture meaningful images. She explains why she avoids chasing a single ‘perfect' shot and instead focuses on being present and open to whatever unfolds in front of her.Ann also discusses what keeps drawing her back to Kenya and the Masai Mara, describing the ever-changing landscape, incredible wildlife encounters and the magic of sharing those moments with others. As a safari leader, she finds immense joy in helping photographers experience these environments for the first time and develop their own skills and confidence.This episode is full of insight and inspiration for anyone interested in wildlife photography, travel, or simply reconnecting with nature through their camera.Takeaways Patience is one of the most important skills in wildlife photography  Understanding animal behaviour helps you anticipate meaningful moments  Letting go of the perfect shot can lead to more authentic images  You do not need to travel far to find opportunities to photograph wildlife  A career in photography doesn't have to follow a traditional path  Sharing knowledge and experiences can be just as rewarding as creating imagesConnect with AnnWebsiteInstagramFacebookSupport the show

This is The Digital Story Podcast 1,036, Jan. 27, 2026. Today's theme is, "Step Up, Step Down, Step All Around." I'm Derrick Story. One of the great things about carrying around compact cameras is that you can pack two of them. And the efficiency gets ever better if you can share accessories among them. On the eve of my Mobile Photography Workshop, that's exactly what I'm going to cover today. I hope you enjoy the show.

This is The Digital Story Podcast 1,033, Jan. 6, 2026. Today's theme is, "I Thought My iPhone Shots Were Fine, Until I Didn't." I'm Derrick Story. As I mentioned last week, my iPhone has saved me countless times. Plus, it's so convenient. So much so, that when I'm working on an article, I often pull it out of my pocket for a few quick illustration snaps. But then, I had an interesting revelation that caused me to recalibrate. I'll share that story on today's TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show.
