What if photography wasn’t about capturing the world — but listening to it?📷 That’s the approach Argentinian photographer, and National Geographic Explorer, Sofía López Mañán brings to her work, blending visual storytelling with philosophy, ecology, and deep empathy.
In this episode, we talk about her current project with bees (supported by the 2024 Vital Impacts Grant), the relocation of elephants, her work with Andean condors, and how she approaches photography more like a ritual than a recording. We also dive into her long-term project 'El Libro de la Naturaleza' (The Book of Nature), and how she explores what “Nature” even means in the first place.
It’s a conversation full of unexpected stories, reflections on human-animal relationships, and a fresh take on what it means to be part of the story — not just an observer. 🎧🎙️ Listen now!*****📸 See more of Sofia’s work:http://www.sofialopezmanan.com/

What happens when a drone meets a school of fish… and one whale? 🐋🛸 Photographer Joanna Steidle has the answer — and the stories to match 📷 A longtime friend and someone who I admire immensely, Joanna is an award-winning drone photographer whose work has been published by media such as CNN, The New York Times, The Smithsonian Magazine or even Forbes, and her drone footage has aired on Disney, National Geographic and Discovery Channel. Joanna is also, to date, the only female DJI-drones Creator (Ambassador) in the USA.
In this episode, Joanna shares how she went from a love to race drones to creating jaw-dropping aerial art. We talk about what gear she uses, about what gear you need to start out (and regulations you must know), how to get started in drone photography, what it's like to go viral (after working for long hours every day though), a word about marine life and conservation — and why seagulls might just be her spirit animal.
Whether you're drone-curious or just need a dose of inspiration for your next flight, Joanna's stories will have you seeing the world a little differently — from a few hundred feet up and with some good laughs!

Welcome back to The Camera Cafe Show! This week, we have the legendary Art Wolfe joining us for an incredible deep dive into his photographic journey—and let’s just say, if there were an Olympic event for never sitting still, Art would take gold.
From his childhood adventures in the forests of Seattle to climbing mountains with a 4x5 camera from his dad (because why make it easy?), Art’s story is one of relentless curiosity and creative evolution. In this first part of our conversation, we talk about his early influences, his switch from painting to photography, his time working with National Geographic, his worldwide travels and the stories that go with them and of course a walk through his passion of making books. We also hear about his… let’s call it ‘challenging’ experience in Russia and China, his run-in with a charging rhino in Nepal, and why his short teaching middle school career convinced him to face down magazine editors without fear.
Of course, we will also do some gear talk. Art shares his approach to packing light (as in, he finally appreciates not lugging 20kg of lenses), why switching to digital was like flipping a switch, and his thoughts on camera debates (spoiler: he doesn’t care much, just use the tool that works!).
If you’re wondering how one man manages to travel nine months a year, create over 120 books, and still find time to craft a Japanese-style garden at home, this episode will leave you both inspired and exhausted just listening to his schedule.
And guess what? We’re not done yet! This is just Part 1—next week, we get even deeper into Art’s process, where he talks about his tv show, good friends and photography colleagues and the philosophy that keeps him pushing forward.
So, grab your favorite cup of coffee—or tequila if you want to keep up with Art’s energy—and enjoy the show!*****Check out more of Art’s work:https://artwolfe.com/*****Follow us for your Weekly Dose of Photography Inspiration:https://thecameracafeshow.com/

In this episode of the Camera Café Show, we sit down with celebrated wildlife and landscape photographer and OM System Ambassador Andrew Fusek Peters (UK) to explore his incredible journey from a poet and renowned children's author to a leading figure in British wildlife photography. Andrew shares how his passion for nature, coupled with his artistic eye, has shaped his career behind the camera, and the pivotal moment that transformed his love for the outdoors into a lifelong photographic pursuit.
Andrew has published several successful books, including “Butterfly Safari”, which documents all 59 UK butterfly species—a project that took years of dedication and travel across the country. He offers insight into the process of bringing such a book to life, from capturing rare species to going through thousands of photos, all while balancing his creative vision with the demands of the publishing world. He also gives practical advice for photographers looking to get their work published in magazines, drawing from his extensive experience with many national and international media outlets like BBC Wildlife Magazine, Country Life, The Times, The Guardian, Daily Mirror, Amateur Photographer, Digital Camera and an ongoing list of 600+ published pictures. For Andrew, persistence, originality, and storytelling are key to getting noticed.
As an OM System ambassador, Andrew shares how using the OM System technology has helped him capture breathtaking moments in nature, like his latest iconic image of a dragonfly against the Milky Way, shot in a single image. He offers tips for wildlife photographers, from the importance of patience and understanding animal behavior to the technical aspects of working with high-speed cameras. Andrew also reflects on his battle with cancer and how it reshaped his approach to photography, making him more appreciative of the beauty found in everyday moments—whether it’s photographing ruby-tailed wasps in his own garden or capturing the Northern Lights up a hill.

In this Untold Stories episode, we sit down with Salim Khan, a Rohingya photographer living in the Kutupalong refugee camp in Bangladesh, the largest refugee camp in the world with now living 1.000.000 displaced Rohingya people. Salim shares his powerful journey of using photography to document the daily struggles, resilience, and humanity of the Rohingya people. He is also a recipient, together with Abdullah Habib, Sahat Zia and Shahida Win of the United Nations 2023 UNHCR Nansen Refugee Award, which honors individuals or groups who go above and beyond to help displaced people. This prestigious award recognized their efforts in using photography to tell the stories of the Rohingya, raising global awareness about their plight while capturing their resilience and strength in the face of adversity.
From growing up in the camp to becoming an internationally recognized photographer while being also a volunteer firefighter, Salim reflects on the immense challenges his community faces—rampant fires, seasonal floods, and a lack of access to education and healthcare—while striving to amplify their voices through his work. He talks about the deep personal challenges he faces living as a refugee and his dreams for his children, who have shown an interest in photography as well. This heartfelt conversation is a testament to the power of storytelling and the importance of giving marginalized communities a voice.
As a continuation of this mission, we’ve launched a GoFundMe campaign to support Salim’s vision of teaching Rohingya youths the Art of Photography. Our goal is to raise $3,000 to purchase second-hand cameras and equipment for his photography workshops. This will help teach youths from the refugee camps photography so they can document their stories and share their experiences with the world.
Or you have an unused camera or equipment, you can also contribute by sending it to one of our podcast offices, just send us an email—we’ll make sure it reaches Salim’s community and keeps on making stories.
Keynotes:
*Salim’s early life and challenges growing up in the Kutupalong camp.
*The power of photography in documenting the Rohingya’s daily struggles and resilience.
*Salim’s vision to teach photography to Rohingya volunteers to help them tell their own stories.
*The impact of Salim’s work internationally, including his recognition through the Nansen Refugee Award.
*His hopes for the future, both for his community and his children.
