Welcome to Landscape Photography World! I’m Grant Swinbourne and I’ll be your host on this show discussing the world of landscape photography. In future shows I’ll be talking to some of the best landscape photographers that inspire me.
We’ll be getting to know them better and talk to them about their inspirations and motivations, how they’ve developed their style and what they do and don’t like about being a photographer.
I’m keen to explore with you the art of landscape photography, composition, the use of tone and colour with maybe a little tech talk along the way. What I’m aiming for is to give you a glimpse into the world of landscape photography from the perspective of some of the best landscape photographers out there.
I hope you enjoy the show!

Ep 190 - The Great Ocean Road Project: Inside Samantha Ohlsen’s Lens
Samantha Ohlsen, a Sydney based landscape photographer with a 17-year military background, shares how photography became a means of healing and creative expression. After years as an Army Nursing Officer in war zones like Afghanistan, she retired and started immersing herself in the tranquillity of nature & setting up a wedding photography business..
Sam discusses how landscape photography provides an essential counterbalance to her past experiences, offering a deep connection to the natural world. We discuss the therapeutic effects of exploring Australia’s Great Ocean Road, her structured approach to mastering composition, and the ongoing challenge of balancing technical precision with artistic freedom.
She also shares insights into her latest ambitious project—a comprehensive guidebook documenting Australia’s diverse landscapes. Through her work, Sam hopes to inspire others to embrace photography as both an art form and a means of personal transformation.
I hope you enjoy the show.
