Talking with Drew Hamilton - Photographing Bears and Charismatic Megafauna
Episode description
Drew is on an endless quest to photograph the world's "charismatic megafauna," as he calls it. But while his portfolio is filled with some of the best bear photography we've ever seen...sparring polar bears in the Canadian Arctic and brown (grizzly) bears fishing for salmon in Alaska are just a couple examples, it doesn't always come easy.
Today we host the great Drew Hamilton himself and talk about a variety of nature photography topics, including his latest photo expedition in Nome, Alaska, what happens when photo trips don't quite work out, his technique for photo stitching wildlife shots, his affinity for reverse-engineering inspiring photos he sees on social media, and why sometimes he forces himself to take only one lens with him in the field.
