Ep 156 - Tania Malkin on Capturing Australia's Beauty Through Aerial Landscape Photography
Tania Malkin's passion for photography began early, collecting travel postcards on family camping trips around Western Australia and receiving her first SLR camera at seven.
Inspired by the Australian outback's colors and the Australian Impressionist art movement, Tania's interest in photography and art has been a significant part of her life journey.
Initially studying fine art and art history, she used photographic images as references for her paintings. However, landscape photography, particularly aerial photography, took precedence in the late '90s
Living and working in remote locations has given Tania the opportunity to explore and capture stunning landscapes, creating artworks across various mediums, including photography, painting, and ceramics. Tania describes aerial images as illustrations of the landscape in a completely different way, offering a journey through the history of a landscape that oscillates between the surreal and reality.
Tania's work is renowned for its unique perspectives and storytelling through images, capturing the essence of the landscapes she explores. She continues to shape her approach to landscape photography, offering a glimpse into the future of the art form.
We discuss her experiences working with Fujifilm, her transition from terrestrial to aerial photography, and the logistical and creative challenges that come with it.
We touch on her approach to planning shoots, her philosophy on storytelling through images, the business side of photography, and her struggles with pricing and marketing her work along with lots more.
I hope you enjoy the show!

Ep 155 - Exploring Australia's Rural Landscapes with Alexandra MacAlpine
Alexandra MacAlpine, better known as Xan, is the founder and sole operator of @TheSocialHerdmarketing, a creative hub she runs from home in the Central West of New South Wales. Living on a mixed farm with her husband Alex, Xan draws inspiration from her rural surroundings and Alex's insights into marketing products to farmers.
With a background in design and photography from the University of Technology in Sydney, Xan initially pursued a career in marketing and communications. It wasn't until 2020 that she combined her skills and passion for photography by starting The Social Herd.
Through her business, Xan collaborates with rural-based enterprises, offering strategic and creative marketing solutions. The best part for Xan is the opportunity to pick up her camera again and capture the essence of rural life.
Xan's photography is authentic, showcasing everyday individuals at work, including her husband Alex on their property. She uses a mix of ground and aerial shots, often employing a drone to capture dynamic images. Her limited-edition prints, with only 25 copies each, are intended to be timeless and unique. Each day presents new opportunities for Xan to capture the rural beauty and hardworking spirit of her community.
Alexandra shares how her daily life deeply influences her photography. She discusses the importance of showcasing women in agriculture, her journey from studying design and photography to finding her niche in rural landscapes, and the challenges and joys of working with livestock.
She also highlights how her work promotes understanding between rural and urban communities and reflects on the evolving role of photography in telling authentic stories of the land. Her insights are a testament to the power of photography in capturing the timeless beauty of rural Australia and its hardworking people.
I hope you enjoy the show!

Ep 154 - Capturing Western Australia's Beauty: Martine Perret on Aerial Landscapes and Photography Projects
Martine Perret is a photographic artist who was born in Paris, and now lives and works from her base in Margaret River. She is known for her startlingly beautiful portrayal of the Western Australian landscape, often employing aerial captures and portraiture to tell important stories of our times.
Her approach to artistic work is based on a career in photojournalism, including a decade covering UN peacekeeping missions in conflict zones, in South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Burundi, Timor-Leste and West Africa where she documented the Ebola crisis.
Recent projects Ngala Wongga (Come Talk) - Cultural Significance of Languages in the Goldfields and Belong – Language connecting feeling, culture, country exhibition at the WA Museum Boola Bardip, highlight the importance of First Nations' languages.
In December 2022 Martine was honoured to travel to Paris with Wardandi Elders Vivian Brockman Webb, Mitchella Hutchins and artist Roly Skender to launch the UNESCO International Decade of Indigenous Languages with the presentation of the collaborative audio-visual work Wannang Biridge (Light of the Peppermint Tree), which was originally created at The Farm Margaret River, following a residency with SymbioticA on photomicrography at CELLCentral in the school of Anatomy and Human Biology at The University of Western Australia.
Martine shares her journey from her beginnings in Paris and Bordeaux, through her extensive travels with the UN, to settling in Sydney and eventually Western Australia. We talk about the crucial role of photography in society, the impact of digital evolution on the field, and the personal philosophies that guide Martine's work.
Martine provides insights into her creative process, the importance of following one's intuition in photography, and the balancing act between professional pursuits and personal commitments.
I hope you enjoy the show!
