A podcast where you can learn, be inspired and fall in love with photography all over again.
My goal for this podcast is to help you to find hope, purpose and happiness through photography. Whether it’s to
1. Learn the journey, passion and stories behind other photographers.
2. Get inspired and motivated knowing that we all struggle at one point or another.
3. Learn and progress your skill further through these world-class photographers’ experiences and mistakes.
As you see these extraordinary photographers on social media, sometimes it’s easy to think that they’re an overnight success. For that reason, we often expect expensive gear and YouTube Videos will get you there in a week or two, whereas in fact most of these photographers took years to get to where they are right now. Many of us didn’t realise is the hard work and sacrifices these photographers put into building their craft.
So if you been feeling down because you feel your progress is not fast enough, or you have lost your creative mojo, perhaps some of these stories can be an inspiration to bring back your passion.
I’m also wanting to be able to provide a platform for photographers to be able to share their stories past the 160 characters on social media.
Photography is more about the journey, it’s a part of our life. If you’re like us our main purpose for photography is to be happy. Whether it is through:
1. The Wicked Hunts chase and capture unique moments that we see in our life.
2. The memories we get to capture and leave as a legacy for years to come.
3. The journey and challenges to get the photo that we can be proud of and get appreciated by others through social media, awards, publication or other monetary exchange.
Social media following and true fans should follow as a result, but the main purpose of photography is not to get those likes and followers on social media.

The Wicked Hunt
You Better Hold Fast
The Wicked Hunt is a mission to go through unconventional ways to experience and capture unique moments. As a photographer, it is my duty to show a different perspective of the world, hopefully in a better way. The Wicked Hunt isn’t about hunting for the perfect photo.
Instead, it’s about enduring the journey to find and experience that perfect moment. Whether it is a long hike to a unique spot, an early wake-up to find unique lighting during sunrise, a quality time with friends and family or merely a deeper observation of a common area.
The photo was never the goal, it’s simply the trophy, something to capture that perfect moment and something to remember it by. We all dream about a moment in a place at a certain time, but often we’re discouraged by fear of failure and going out of our comfort zone. As a Wicked Hunter, I believe that we should overcome these fear. Life is fragile and precious. We don’t know when our time will come to an end. We only have one shot at making this our life, a life that is driven by love and passion, not fear.
We must take more risks, go out of our comfort zone and take small actions toward our “dreams”, however big or small they might be.
Don’t wait for the perfect moments because they’ll never come. Instead, make those moments perfect in their way.

Ep 43 - It’s never too late! How Grant Swinbourne continue to pursue his love and passion for photography full time even after his retirement
Hey Wicked Hunters,
I am excited to have Grant Swinbourne be part of The Wicked Hunt - The Art of Photography Podcast.
Grant Swinbourne is a photographer from Sydney, Australia. He produces fine art images from his travels around the world, including seascapes, landscapes and travel images.
Grant had a camera in his hands early, starting with 110mm film Instamatic cameras migrating to an SLR in 1984. Whilst his photography remained an interest, it was one that took a back seat to his career in IT, until he switched to digital photography in 2004. It’s now gradually overtaken his time and is now his full-time career.
Known mostly for his beautiful seascapes & cityscapes from along the East coast of Australia, he’s also amassed a large portfolio of travel photography from many countries. Grant has had images published in several magazines, including Viajes National Geographic, the Spanish language travel magazine for National Geographic.
In 2021 he was the driving force behind the establishment of the Aussie Artists Collective (https://twitter.com/AussieArtistCol) a collaborative team bringing together over 70 Australian artists displaying their work in two virtual galleries.
Grant now runs educational workshops around the Sydney area to help beginners and intermediate photographers to improve their skills and learn new techniques for creating artistic landscapes and seascapes.

Grant Swinbourne 0:00 It's never too late, you know, unless you're dead. Once once you're dead, it's too late. But you know, so from my perspective, where you got to do is make sure that before you get there, get out there and do what it is that you're passionate about. Because if you're not actually doing what you're passionate about, then why you're doing it
