Podcast Episode 2: Svalbard 2018

In episode 2 of A Life in the Landscape, you'll hear me talk about the incredible Svalbard archipelago. You'll also hear about the exciting photo expedition I'll be running there from 31st August to 10th September, 2018. I'll explain what goes into organising a safe and fulfilling photographic trip to such a remote and breathtaking location. You'll also hear me talk about taking a dip in icy waters, the unparalleled experience of being on a true sailing ship when it is under sail, and the chills of excitement from photographing some of Earth's grandest sights. This is one of my favourite places on earth and I'd love to have the opportunity to show it off to you. The investment in a trip like this is unparalleled in terms of the value you get from it. Svalbard is place that will change you for the better. Its pristine environment and beauty are a tonic for your soul and a stimulus for your photography. At the end of the trip, you'll take away a something from Svalbard that will remain with you always: incredible memories. If what you hear whets your appetite, you can find out more about the expedition here: Svalbard 2018.
