Wild And Exposed Podcast

German Biologist and Conservationist Fabian Muhlberger travels the globe in order to spread his conservation message to his fellow countrymen through Terra X. From Africa to the Amazon Fabian seeks to educate all on the issues faced by as many species as possible.

When we initially asked that photographer Jamie Bollschweiler to join us for a Bonus Mother’s Day Episode we did so to share her artistic vision, passion for the craft and tenacity. What we didn’t know was that it was in fact the tragedy of losing her own mother that put a camera in Jamie’s hands.

Full time mother and part/full- time photographer Amy Harris comes by her IG handle honestly, @adventure.amy is her best representation. Whether you meet her on the trail or in a park she is out there when most are crashed on their couch. Come along with Ron and Jason as Amy Harris takes us along on her photographic adventure in the wilds of Colorado this week on Wild and Exposed Podcast.

The ZOLEO - Don’t leave home without It

In this episode with NANPA's Dawn Wilson and Wild and Exposed's Ron Hayes and Jason Loftus, Marino explains that the hallmark of a happy photographer is the ability to see the world as an expansive place full of opportunities. Find out what she uses to capture the small scenes she's known for, how the pandemic helped her rethink a big career change, and why she discourages conventions and composition "rules" when she teaches photography. Plus, how her NANPA membership helped when a lens rolled down the hill into a waterfall and came out filled with silt.

Starting his photographic journey in the State of New Jersey, photographer Matthew Sullivan is well ahead of the curve. His knowledge of reptiles and amphibians caught the eye of the Wild and exposed crew but you will find, as Jason and Ron did, that there are much more than herps in this portfolio.

North Carolina Photographer Neil Jernigan started his journey as a portrait photographer who had a love of the outdoors. Come along as Jason and Ron visit with Neil about his transition into wildlife photography and finally into the craft that keeps working even when you’re not, camera trapping.

It’s been a minute since the full Wild and Exposed crew has been together. Ron, Jason, Michael and Mark discuss days in the field, pro-tips (some learned the hard way) and Mark’s latest Book project. This weeks episode may get a bit sappy as one of the crew makes a big announcement.

Conservation photographer Noppadol Paothong began photographing prairie chickens on an assignment for a daily newspaper in 2001. As he sat in a blind in the dark that morning, he had no idea that he’d be so captivated by the prairie chickens’ mating dance that he’d devote the next ten years to creating a book to tell their story.

Michael and Ron are joined by Editor Tracie Binkerd and Artistic Director/visual specialist Patrick Owen from the Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s Wyoming Wildlife Magazine, the best deal in wildlife periodicals.

Jason and Ron catch up with Michael after he returns from a frosty assignment on the tundra. How do you stay warm at -45F, and more importantly, how do you keep your cameras running and batteries charged? Michael has the answers to these questions and many more.

It’s fitting that as we come off of St. Patrick’s Day Weekend we host one of the luckiest photographers in the industry. Based out of the Pacific Northwest photographer Max Waugh has had encounters most of us only dream about. Max has photographed wildlife all over the world but the encounters that he shares with Jason and Ron will have you shaking your head as Max seems to hit the field with his four leaf clover laden camera bag in tow on each and every excursion. Keep Siri on Standby and Alexa at the ready as you will undoubtedly learn a new species or two this week with the Wild and Exposed Crew.

Nature photography icon and Canon Explorer of Light Rick Sammon delivers nearly 50 bits of wisdom he’s acquired from more than four decades of mishaps, mistakes, and mingling with other photographers and entrepreneurs.

Full time wildlife photographer Jimmy Berenstein is nothing if not wild; The man wears sandals in snow drifts. Join Jason and Ron as Jimmy describes his preferred methodology, his favorite stories and his exit from corporate America to pursue his photographic journey.
