LensFlare 35 is a weekly show brought to you by Dave Warner. In this week’s episode, Dave interviews Nature and Travel Photographer Brenda Tharp. Brenda is an award-winning freelance photographer who specializes in location, nature and travel photography for a variety of clients.
She has llama-trekked, sea-kayaked, flown in helicopters and hot-air balloons, cycled, and hiked to get her photographs. Those images have appeared on the pages of Alaska Airlines, Audubon, Northwest Traveler, Sierra, and Sunset magazines, along with many others.
In this episode, Brenda talks about the difference between being a female photographer versus a male, steps she takes on the business side of things to make her stand out from the pack, lessons you can apply to both travel AND nature photography, her latest book project, recommendations she would give to help other photographers become successful and much more. We created a special video of Brenda’s images with her explanation of each that plays (above) and then the full podcast interview, which is below.
