“If we march into that village and we start trying to persecute people for using poison, something that's very illegal, nobody's going to talk to us. We're not going to find out where the poison came from. We're not going to be able to shut anything down. We should take the approach that people are using poison because they're desperate, because they see no other alternative.” – Andrew Stein Andrew Stein is a wildlife ecologist who spent the past 25 years studying human carnivore conflict from African wild dogs and lions in Kenya and Botswana to leopards and hyenas in Namibia. His work has long focused on finding ways for people and predators to coexist. He is the founder of CLAWS , an organization based in Botswana that's working at the intersection of cutting-edge wildlife research and community driven conservation. Since its start in 2014 and official launch as an NGO in 2020, CLAWS has been pioneering science-based, tech-forward strategies to reduce conflict between people and carnivores. By collaborating closely with local communities, especially traditional cattle herders, CLAWS supports both species conservation and rural livelihoods—making coexistence not just possible, but sustainable.…

I'm always looking at life and thinking about how to get to that next goal. What I can improve on, and what's going well. They say the more you review your goals the more likely you are to achieve them. But one of the things that came up for me today was fear. I needed to go out for my morning run but was scared to go out into the wind and rain that was pounding against my front door. And it got me thinking about how I approach fear in my life, and how it has helped me to elevate my photography and continually improve.…

It was so awesome to talk to Maggie Dion about how photography can be an awesome tool for reducing stress and getting back your purpose in life. Maggie and I connected over a shared belief that as working women and mothers, we can lose ourselves in the day-to-day (the hampster wheel) of life, sometimes without even knowing it! In this episode we talk about how to recognize if you are heading towards a breakdown, how to avoid it, and what to do if you are feeling like you just don't know how to get off that hampster wheel. The awesome part is that (spoiler alert) photography can be an awesome way to help you de-stress and bring more fun and happiness into your life.

In this episode I talk all about the different learning styles we all have and how you can improve your photography faster by embracing your own learning style. If you have ever struggled with learning photography maybe you are trying to learn using a learning style that's not right for you. I was a ski instructor for a season, and that was the first time I learnt that we all have different ways that we learn best. And now I realise as a photographer that the way I learn best is by doing. It makes a lot of sense now when I look back and see why sometimes I have struggled to learn photography, and other times I have come away jumping up and down like a little kid with the most epic photos.

It's getting to that time of year again when you realize the year has almost gone and you start reflecting back on what you've achieved. Lately, I've been thinking about what I would do if I was starting my photography career from scratch. To be honest, I kind of fell into photography by accident and ended up doing a 2-year diploma in photography. But looking back I think I would've done things differently. Has having a diploma helped me in my career? Yes, at times. And maybe I wouldn't have got into the Air Force as a photographer without it. BUT I feel like experience, and learning from those who are where you want to be in your career might just be more valuable than spending 2 years learning in a classroom environment and playing by the rules.…

Entering photo competitions can be an emotional rollercoaster, and working up the confidence to enter can be tough. Choosing the right photo to submit is another daunting task. I hadn't entered a competition in about 15 years until last year when I decided to take the plunge into the Iris Awards, a prestigious photography competition in New Zealand.
