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 57 - How John Knopf turned his stupid idea as 1.8 gpa students to become one of the most successful & respected photographer in Web3
Hey Wicked Hunters, It has been too long! I've been overwhelmed putting together both NFT Bali Artweek as well as Sloika World Photography Day event, and I been struggling to keep up. I'm very excited that we have gotten 8,000 submissions from the two exhibitions, have 7 satellite exhibitions from the 2 events and reached millions of people. I'd like to thank everyone who has contributed and become part of the event. Now I am back and I am excited to introduce John Knopf!
With over 15 years of field experience, John Knopf has made his mark in the world of landscape photography through his vibrant, evocative imagery and commitment to conservation.
Embracing the challenge of capturing the raw beauty of nature, Knopf delivers powerful images that inspire appreciation and protection of our ecosystem. An Emmy-nominated, photographer, his work has been recognized by National Geographic, TIME, Red Bull, USA Today, and various prestigious exhibitions including Venice Biennale and Art Basel.
A trailblazer in the NFT space, he hosted the first and largest NFT Photography gallery at Art Basel & NFT NYC. Additionally, he owned two exclusive photography galleries in Las Vegas and Minneapolis.
Despite his accomplishments, Knopf remains driven, crafting limited editions of his artwork using premium materials while constantly exploring new ways to push his creative boundaries.

John Knopf 0:00 If this guy can do this, and like there's only a handful of people doing this in the world, maybe I can do it. And it was like a stupid idea because like, like, just like, I'm just a kid from Miranda, Arizona, like I graduated with like 1.8 GPA. I barely graduated. My parents were you in and out of prison like, Mike, I was told by all my teachers, there's no way I was going to amount to anything, I was most likely going to end up homeless in a trailer park or just, you know, in prison Ed.
