What 20 Years of Photography Teaches You - Interview with Ian Plant

A photograph is, in fact, a permanent record of something that you witnessed and experienced. I think it’s special because of that. The durability of it, the way it plucks a slice of reality from the living world and preserves it forever. — Ian Plant

In our very first episode of Photo Masters Podcast, I have an eye-opening conversation with Photo Masters founder Ian Plant. Ian's photography career began almost by accident, when he bought a camera after his first year of law school and quickly became obsessed. What started as a way to document outdoor adventures evolved into a lifelong passion, eventually pulling him away from law into full-time photography.

Over time, Ian's approach shifted from intuitive shooting to a more intentional and artistic process. In this 1.5-hour conversation, he discusses how both the craft and the industry have changed, how he overcomes creative challenges, a harrowing experience he had requiring a dramatic rescue on the high seas, and much more.
