In this audio episode of Photo Masters Podcast, nature photographer John Meragias shares the experiences that have shaped his photography and his life.

We discuss how he discovered photography as a teenager, why solo travel has become such an important part of his creative process, and what he's learned from photographing wildlife and landscapes around the world. John also shares practical advice for photographers, including how to stay creative, approach popular locations with a fresh perspective, photograph wildlife ethically, and avoid comparing yourself to others on social media.

In our first episode of Photo Masters Podcast, I have an eye-opening conversation with Photo Masters founder Ian Plant. Ian's photography career began almost by accident, when he bought a camera after his first year of law school and quickly became obsessed. What started as a way to document outdoor adventures evolved into a lifelong passion, eventually pulling him away from law into full-time photography. 

Over time, Ian's approach shifted from intuitive shooting to a more intentional and artistic process. In this 1.5-hour conversation, he discusses how both the craft and the industry have changed, how he overcomes creative challenges, a harrowing experience he had requiring a dramatic rescue on the high seas, and much more.
