Episode 20 - Discovering Photographic Versatility

In this episode, Rob and Josh are joined by Australian wildlife photographer and author, Georgina Steytler. Georgina discusses the photography behind her latest book, For the Love of Flora (a follow up to the wonderful For the Love of Birds) and the transition she made from photographing the birds for which she has become rightfully renown, to the plants of her native Australia. This episode explores the techniques she used to capture some of the amazing images in the book, and how some of the skills learnt from bird photography were transferrable to this genre of wildlife and nature photography. A discussion with Georgina is always full of fun and laughter, so come and giggle along with us as we talk about the book, flower photography, and all things nature.
