Michael Rung, a nature photographer based in Fort Worth, Texas, reflects on his path to becoming a full-time artist. Growing up in suburban St. Louis, Michael's early experiences with nature were rekindled later in life through photography. His passion took root during a business trip to Ireland in 2015, where capturing the scenic beauty sparked his love for landscape photography.
Since 2015, Michael's dedication to photography has deepened, with his work from 2019 onwards truly reflecting his evolving style. He adopted a more reactive, mindful approach to photography, focusing on capturing moments in nature without preconceived expectations. This method has greatly improved his work, allowing him to connect more deeply with his subjects.
In 2020, Michael began offering online photography presentations and launched a YouTube channel, focusing on Lightroom Classic tutorials and his creative process. By 2021, he expanded his business by investing in a professional large-format printer, enabling him to produce fine art nature prints with complete creative control. In 2022, he released his first limited-edition print folio, "Look for the Light."
Since leaving his corporate career in 2022, Michael has pursued photography full-time, offering services in the Dallas/Fort Worth area while continuing to share his work and insights through his website and newsletter.
We talk about the emotional side of photography, how he made the leap to full-time photography and much more!

Tim Wrate's childhood passion for drawing fantastical landscapes evolved into a love for photography during a 2001 expedition to Mount Kenya. However, it wasn't until 2008, after completing his academic pursuits, that he fully embraced photography. Inspired by medium format panoramic photographers, he adopted a medium format slide film camera in 2010, dedicating himself to mastering its nuances and the discipline required for film photography.
In 2018, on a family holiday in Western Australia, a chartered flight over Hutt Lagoon revealed stunning textures and colors, igniting his fascination with the aerial perspective. This new pursuit led him to travel across Australia, capturing diverse landscapes, from cloud inversions in Kosciuszko National Park to dramatic tidal ranges in the Kimberley.
Aerial photography, though challenging, offered unique rewards. From the open windows of light aircraft and doorless helicopters, Tim navigated wind buffeting, engine vibrations, and shifting perspectives to capture powerful images. Collaborating closely with skilled pilots, he revealed the hidden beauties of the landscapes. Tim's work transcends the obvious, offering fresh insights and a harmonious blend of geography and art.
In this episode, Tim outlines his journey from childhood fascinations to his adult explorations of Australia's diverse terrains from the air.
Highlighting his transition from film to digital photography and the strategic adoption of medium format cameras for panoramic vistas, he emphasizes the importance of finding a unique photographic voice.
Additionally, we discuss the challenges and rewards of sharing art in the digital age, offering advice to aspiring aerial photographers and stressing the unending allure of discovery through the camera lens.

Terry Maday, a seasoned video production professional and the owner of Mayday Productions, based in Chicago, builds long-term client partnerships while also working as a Director and Director of Photography.
He thrives on capturing stunning visuals and moments that blend together to inspire the hearts and minds of the viewer.
Whether he is filming in the studio or on location, in the boardroom or on the factory floor, Terry brings creativity, versatility and authenticity to every collaboration across OLV, Social, Branded Content, Broadcast, and long-form.
Terry shares insights into s the importance of telling stories not just through videos but across various social media platforms, adapting to different technical requirements like aspect ratios.
We talk about Terry's collaboration with Trope, a publishing firm, and their work on 'Above and Across Chicago,' a book celebrating the city's architecture through stunning drone photography.
We discuss the nuances of maintaining creativity and business acumen in a competitive industry, the transformative potential of travel, and the future of photography in an increasingly digital world along with lots more.
I hope you enjoy the show!
