  • Alister Benn: Photography as a Path to Healing, Presence, and Creative Freedom
    He’s a Scottish artist, writer, musician, and educator whose work blends visual art with deep emotional resonance.Together with his wife, he runs a company dedicated to helping others find their own voice through expressive photography—a practice deeply connected to personal growth and mental well-being.His powerful book, Out of Darkness, explores the relationship between the external landscape and our internal emotional world—revealing how nature can serve as a mirror for self-acceptance and healing.That same body of work earned him one of photography’s highest distinctions—being named a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society in 2021.Through his thought-provoking YouTube channel and bestselling eBooks , he’s redefining how we approach photography—not as a technical craft, but as a gateway to meaning, presence, and creative freedom.Please welcome to the show… Alister Benn----------------------------------------------ALISTER BENN SHOW LINKS• WEBSITE | EXPRESSIVE PHOTOGRAPHY | https://expressive.photography/• WORKSHOPS | https://expressive.photography/workshops/• E-BOOKS | https://expressive.photography/education/• BOOK: OUT OF DARKNESS | https://expressive.photography/out-of-darkness-home/• NEWSLETTER SIGNUP | https://expressive.photography/newsletter-signup/• YOUTUBE | https://www.youtube.com/@Alister_Benn• INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/alister_benn/• FACEBOOK | https://www.facebook.com/expressiveworkshops/• LIGHTCHASERS NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY CONFERENCE | https://lightchasersconference.com/Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe, and hit the bell to see more content from 'The Nature Photo Guys!'Thanks for watching!----------------------------------------------*Disclosure:*Some of the links are partner links, meaning if you make a purchase through them, ‘The Nature Photo Guys’ may earn a small commission.

  • Jenny Wong: A Nikon Ambassador’s Journey of Resilience, Exploration & Storytelling
    Born in Canada but shaped by a lineage of resilience, Nikon Ambassador Jenny Wong carries the spirit of three generations of strong women—refugees who fled from China to Vietnam before finding home in a culturally rich new land. Perhaps it was always in her blood to never settle, to always seek out the next adventure.A global traveler fluent in both English and Cantonese, Jenny has backpacked across nearly every continent, immersing herself in diverse cultures, landscapes, and untold stories. But photography? It wasn’t something she chose—it found her. What started as just extra weight in her travel bag soon became her voice, her passion, and her purpose.Now, as an adventure, travel, wildlife, and commercial photographer, Jenny’s mission goes beyond capturing beauty—she shines a light on the frontlines of climate change. The Arctic, Earth’s last stronghold, is where her heart beats loudest. Through her lens, she brings you closer to the wild, the unknown, and the urgent stories of our planet.Check out the links below mentioned in this video.• Jenny Wong Website | https://www.jennwong.ca/• Jenny Wong Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/jdubcaptures• Jenny Wong Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/jdubcaptures• Great Bear Rainforest with Jenny Wong & Canadian Geographic | https://mapleleafadventures.com/stories/places/great-bear-rainforest/capture-the-magic-of-the-great-bear-rainforest-with-wildlife-photographer-jenny-wong/• Lightchasers Nature Photography Conference | https://lightchasersconference.com/Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe, and hit the bell to see more content from 'The Nature Photo Guys!'Thanks for watching!----------------------*Disclosure:*Some of the links are partner links, meaning if you make a purchase through them, ‘The Nature Photo Guys’ may earn a small commission.
