Landscape Photography World

Judit Prat Martí has always loved taking pictures. Originally from outside Barcelona, Judit started taking classes at Richard Stromberg’s Chicago Photography Classes school while a Postdoctoral fellow at the Astronomy and Astrophysics department at the University of Chicago. Judit loves how photography encouraged her to explore her new home of Chicago, exploring and getting to know the city and its various neighbourhoods. Many Sundays, she would take her bike and her camera, and choose a neighbourhood to explore, photographing everything that would catch her eye. Judit’s studies have since taken her to Stockholm, where she is looking forward to exploring a new city and continuing to capture the magic with her camera.   In this episode Judit shares her unique experience of combining her scientific career with her passion for minimalist photography. Judit talks about her journey from casual photography to publishing her book 'Chicago in Color.' She discusses how she navigates the diverse neighbourhoods of Chicago, her motivation for capturing the city's essence, and her creative process. Judit also provides insights into her editing techniques and her collaboration with Trope Publishing for the book's release. Additionally, she reflects on the role of photography in society and her future plans.   I hope you enjoy the show!   You can find Judit’s work  here: Chicago in Colour Book: https://trope.com/blogs/artists/judit-prat-marti Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chicagocolorsproject/   Listen to this and other episodes wherever you find your podcasts or on https://grantswinbournephotography.com/lpw-podcast Or subscribe to my YouTube channel https://youtube.com/@grantswinbournephotography   Theme music: Liturgy Of The Street by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com   Landscape Photography World has been recongnised in the Top 10 of the 2024 Feedspot Top 100 Photography Podcasts: https://podcast.feedspot.com/photography_podcasts/       #JuditPratMartí #MinimalistPhotography #ChicagoInColor #TropePublishing #UrbanExploration #ChicagoNeighborhoods #PhotographyAndScience #StockholmPhotography #VisualStorytelling #CreativeProcess

In this episode, I sit down with Laura Zimmerman, a Pacific Northwest photographer who shifted from portrait to landscape photography after her retirement in 2020. Laura dives into her journey of rediscovering photography through experimental techniques, including Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) and Multiple Exposure ICM. Known for her abstract landscapes, Laura reflects on how the COVID lockdown provided her the opportunity to explore new creative realms, particularly around Lake Sammamish, where she crafted images with a profound emotional resonance.   Laura discusses the joy and unpredictability of experimenting with ICM, capturing the beauty of movement in nature, and the importance of embracing the unknown. We also explore how she balances her passion for photography with everyday life, her thoughtful approach to post-processing, and her perspective on photography’s role in today’s fast-paced, digital-driven world. From gallery features at home and abroad to her work in ICM Magazine, Laura’s story is one of transformation and creative exploration.

Join the conversation with Ben Alldridge, a multifaceted photographer and former marine biologist turned software engineer and space weather enthusiast. Originally from Brisbane but now residing in Launceston, Tasmania (lutruwita), Ben shares his unique journey into landscape photography, inspired by Tasmania’s breathtaking scenery. Known for his spontaneous 750km drives in pursuit of perfect skies—whether clear or stormy—Ben combines his love for both art and science in his work. In this episode, Ben discusses the launch of his first photography calendar, the evolution from film to digital in his 20-year career, and the influence of his marine biology background, particularly in projects involving biofluorescence. His approach to photography is both playful and purpose-driven, with a strong emphasis on storytelling, goals, and conservation. Ben also reflects on the balance between creativity and science, competition strategies, and the complexities of commercial work. With his signature sarcasm and eclectic interests, including music journalism and a peculiar fondness for vanity basins, Ben offers a refreshingly unconventional perspective on capturing the natural world.
