| 28 Feb 2025 | Episode 13: Wildlife Conversations with Peter Ismert | 01:15:30 | |
Wildlife Conversations Episode 13 with Peter Ismert (@peterismert) Talks Africa, Alaska, and Maximizing your Travels for the Best Images Whether it’s images close to home or those from Africa, Alaska, or Yellowstone, I have been an admirer of Peter’s work for some time now. His passion for wildlife photography and the effort he puts into his pursuits is evident, and his use of backlighting and low light is exceptional. On Episode 13, we get to hear about his recent travels to Kenya and Uganda to see gorillas, chimps, golden monkeys, and shoebill storks. Peter will share with us how he figures out where to go, the importance of guided vs. non-guided trips, gear to pack, etc. Peter shared tips for traveling to Africa and Alaska and the way he revisits places multiple times to improve his images and photography. Also, we will build on previous conversations on the podcast regarding the components of wildlife photography. If there are the 2 components (technical and creative), then maybe there is the third - the practicalities of travel and being in the field. How do we know where to go for certain species, how do we get there, weather, light, etc. And then once we are on the ground, what do we do? Peter’s extensive travels and portfolio gave us a real glimpse into how to maximize our opportunities when researching and executing trips in wildlife photography. __________ WHERE TO FIND PETER Instagram: @peterismert __________ WHERE TO FIND JEN Grab my free guide --- "10 Tips for Beginner Wildlife Photographers to Up Your Creativity & Confidence" and join the email list for upcoming podcasts.

| Wildlife Conversations Episode 15 with Dee Webb | I was excited to talk with photographer Dee Webb because I think she's someone we all can relate to. We’ve talked a lot on this podcast about how nature and wildlife photography can be a haven from the rest of the world, that it has even been healing for some of us.

Splitting her time between the breathtaking landscapes of Waterton Lakes, Canada, and the vibrant ecosystems of Costa Rica, she guides photographers through private workshops and transformative retreats. She combines her expertise in photography, yoga therapy, and mindfulness to create experiences that help participants reconnect with nature and themselves.

Yellowstone Photographer Julia Cook, or @julia.littlelightningnature, joins me for Episode 10 of Wildlife Conversations! Growing up in Cody, Wyoming, Julia developed a love for nature and wildlife at an early age, and it’s no surprise that Yellowstone National Park became her muse for wildlife photography. A recent University of Wyoming graduate, she now pursues outdoor photography full time and is often in the park with her lab, Sylvan. Julia shared her experiences growing up less than an hour from Yellowstone and how that shaped her love of nature. During the pandemic, she picked up a camera and started capturing the diverse ecosystem of Yellowstone, especially her favorite species, the grizzly bear. We discussed tips for traveling to Yellowstone, her favorite lens for photographing there, how community is important for creative support, and ways to protect and encourage coexistence with wildlife in and around the parks. Julia also shared some of her travels with us to Colorado and Alaska, and we also got to see some of her beautiful images.

I was honored to have photographer David duChemin kick off 2025 in Episode 8 of Wildlife Conversations! Recorded January 8, 2025 David is a photographer, writer, and adventurer based out of Vancouver Island, Canada. I first knew David by his humanitarian and travel photography, which led me to his books and podcast. More recently, he has turned his focus to the wilderness and wildlife photography. From Africa to British Columbia and everywhere in between, David’s images evoke emotion and wonder. He is the author of important books like Within the Frame, The Soul of the Camera, and The Heart of the Photograph, among others. In this episode David and I discussed his new book Light, Space, & Time: Essays on Camera Craft and Creativity. We chatted about how to give ourselves permission to create images that are truly our own. We explored learning how the camera sees versus how the human eye sees. We also discussed how important it is to take risks and be curious in our photography in order to grow. David and I discussed the importance of finding your own voice and worth in this world of social media and how studying great photographers, exploring nature, finding things we are curious about, etc. is an alternative to scrolling and enriches our images. We also discussed the importance of the rough draft, of sketching our images, and how that creates images with impact and emotion. Plus so much more! David also took time to answer participant’s questions live. It was such a rich discussion; I hope you enjoy it!
