It’s two interviews for the price of one today at The Marc Silber Show!
We’ve been busy here at SilberStudios.tv, and now we have two great interviews to share with you. Acclaimed landscape photographer Jim Goldstein and award-winning wildlife photographer Florian Schulz each sit down with us for a set of engaging, informative interviews.
In the first, watch as we chat with Jim Goldstein and pick his brain on how to capture captivating images of nature.
Jim’s nature and fine art photography has been featured in numerous publications such as Outdoor Photographer and Popular Photography, as well as Penthouse Magazine and Huffington Post. His work is characterized by a deep passion for landscapes and travel, and this comes across in the enthusiasm with which he offers tips and techniques that you can use to improve your own photography.
Watch the interview and you’ll learn all about:
1. The Importance of Foreground — Try to craft a very sharp foreground. Jim advises to give your viewer something clear to latch on to in your photographs (whether it’s a rock formation or an animal’s eyes), and then their attention will go to somewhere outside of this focus point.
2. Golden Hour Lighting — The short hour when the sun is resting on the horizon offers a nature photographer some of the best lighting of the day. And since choosing the right light is half the battle, take full advantage of Golden Hour Lighting.
3. Exploration — For Jim, exploration is as important as creation in photography. This is because the exhilaration of discovering something unique can propel you to strive harder for that original image, and this eagerness and curiosity will show up in your photographs.
In our second interview, watch as wildlife photographer Florian Schulz discusses his thrilling career photographing planet Earth’s most beautiful creatures.
Florian believes photography should be a mix of adventure and gaining world experiences, and this enthusiasm for life is matched in intensity only by his dedication to long-term nature conservation photography projects.
Watch the interview and you’ll learn all about:
1. Capturing the Natural World — Listen to Florian as he discusses the importance of “immersing yourself in the natural world.” As a wildlife photographer, you are working on nature’s terms, so it is essential that you familiarize yourself with them.
2. Thinking of the Bigger Picture –Before you shoot, think about the story that is connected with the image. Watch Florian as he describes how to capture the narrative behind the photograph.
3. Dramatic Foreground– Watch as Florian talks about the importance of creating eye-catching foregrounds that will leave viewers wanting more.
