Episode 63: Today I sit down with professional nature photographer, Alyce Bender, to chat about:
- Early childhood experiences that led to her passion for photography as a kid
- How certain skills she learned in the military have helped her with leading photography tours and how photography served as a creative outlet from the rigors of duty
- Why she continues to visit Japan for photography after having lived there for two years
- How living a nomadic, RV-based life for about a year helped launch her photography career
- Tips for traveling and doing photography alone
- Her approach to planning photography trips around the world and how she quickly immerses herself in a new landscape
- An interesting story about how a Google algorithm rabbit hole led her to a conservation project about Lesser prairie chickens
- How being a better naturalist will improve your nature and wildlife photography
- How she approaches wildlife compositions and what her “why” is for creating photographs of wildlife
- The story behind her first wild wolf encounter
- And a whole lot more!
