LensFlare 35 is a weekly show brought to you by Dave Warner. In this week’s episode, Dave interviews Adventure Photographer Tyler Stableford. Tyler has earned a worldwide clientele for his commercial and editorial photography. Men’s Journal recently named him one of the “World’s Greatest Adventure Photographers,” and he is one of Canon’s prestigious Explorers of Light. Tyler’s passion for photography extends beyond commercial work. He volunteers to shoot at least one week per year for nonprofits, and is an active member of the environmental-business organization “1% For The Planet.”
In this episode, Tyler talks about Adventure Photography, what’s in his camera bag, how he makes his work look so different, who the models are, stock, his awards, family, and a special decision to donate part of his time and talent for free for non-profits.
Added Note – 11/04/2009 : Tyler did a fantastic post on Scott Kelby’s blog about his initiation into the world of non-profit organizations and the effect they can have on real people. If you want to read a powerful story by a photographer who knew nothing about the impact a photographer can really have on the world, you need to read the post after you’ve listened to the interview below.
