Many people say they love nature photography. But how many people can tell you why one specific photograph makes them feel something when they scroll on their social media feeds? 📱
Photographer Jessica Fridrich shares her journey into the love for one of the greatest artists of all time: nature. Drawing on her inspirations and on some of the most renowned natural locations in the American Southwest, such as the Paria Plateau and the Vermilion Cliffs region, Jessica shares what motivated her to start hiking with purpose rather than simply taking photographs of her adventures. 📷
In this episode, Jessica shares the importance of asking the right questions before taking a photograph, crafting a story within your photo, and using lighting effectively. She explores some of her favorite techniques for getting the perfect lighting for her landscapes, such as her love for special light, taking the same location 20 or 30 times to perfect the lighting, and her preference for golden hour, blue hour, moonlight, and even night photography techniques such as long exposure and light painting – without the use of heavy Photoshop fixes. 🖊️
She also shares some of the preparations that go into her most well-known astrophotography time-lapses, including her visit to The Wave in the American Southwest. Hear about the permits to enter The Wave, some of the challenges of photographing The Wave during the night with the Milky Way in the sky, and some of the challenges of the desert landscape that most people do not see in the final print of her photographs. Jessica also shares some of her next travel goals for the planet, including her dream of capturing the northern lights in Arizona’s White Pocket area. 🌌
