In this episode of Photo Masters Podcast, I talk with nature photographer John Meragias about the experiences that have shaped both his photography and his outlook on life. From photographing owls close to home to backpacking through remote mountain ranges, John shares how curiosity, patience, and a willingness to embrace discomfort have helped him grow as both an artist and a person.
