Wild Destinations Series

Join us as we explore wild destinations and discuss why we love these places at the edge of existence.

Wild Destinations | The Maasai Mara | Part 1

Welcome to the Wild Voices Podcast with Dan Clarkson and Laura Dyer, where today we will be introducing the Maasai Mara and why we love it so much…

We will discuss what made us fall in love with this place, what keeps us coming back, and why it is inspiring for photography and all wildlife lovers. We will also touch on the Maasai people and what makes this such an interesting culture to explore.

Join us as we bring you, the Maasai Mara. Part 1…

Wild Destinations | The Maasai Mara | Part 2: Conservancies

In this episode we will be continuing our discussion on the Maasai Mara, delving into the Conservancies and the conservation model that makes these areas so special… We will discuss why cows are essential to keeping predator numbers high (and not in the way you think), how grass is the basis for everything, and why a safari here is not only beneficial, but also a wildlife photographer’s dream.

Join us as we bring you, the Maasai Mara Part 2: Conservancies…

Landscape Photography World Podcast

with Grant Swinbourne

With Grant’s characteristic Australian sense of humour and charm, we had a lot of fun on this podcast and could have talked for hours! Our discussion centred a lot on how using the landscape can really tell a story about which destination you are in and add authenticity to the story-telling.

We also discussed my photographic evolution over time and how I love incorporating different techniques like ICM and slow-shutter speed into my work and teaching, as well as the realities of the industry — the algorithm pressures of social media, the severe toll tourism shutdowns took on local communities, and the logistical demands of running a photography business.
