The For Wild Places Podcast is a campfire of conversations with interesting, accomplished, and inspiring people from the trail running and environmental space. Each month, we sit down with someone for a Trail Chat, and get to know them better.
Today’s guest, Calumn Hockey, is a self-taught adventure photographer who has shot some of Australia and Aotearoa/New Zealand’s most iconic trail and ultra races. This conversation is a little different to our usual trail chats, as Calumn shares stories behind some of his favourite photographs. To see the photos we discuss in this episode, head to this Instagram post. We hear the stories behind the images, and the effort and patience that goes into getting a quality shot. In our follow-up conversation from December 2025, Calumn reflects on the past two years, the impact trail and ultra running have had on his career, and the many places and people he’s captured along the way.
