Today’s guest is Sara Kempner, a Canadian photographer and outdoor enthusiast whose work captures both the raw beauty of nature and the intensity of action sports.
Sara’s journey began with her first love — landscape photography. Growing up on Vancouver Island, surrounded by oceans, mountains, rivers, and lakes, she developed a deep connection to the outdoors. Her images reflect the rugged landscapes she calls home and the resilience of those who move within them.
With a passion for action sports, Sara naturally transitioned into sports and adventure photography, blending her eye for landscapes with the dynamic energy of athletes in motion. From mountain trails to racing events, she tells powerful visual stories that highlight the intersection of environment and human performance.
In this episode, Sara shares:
How nature shaped her creative voice as a photographer
Her transition from landscapes to action sports photography
The influence of Vancouver Island on her artistry
Why she continues to push creative boundaries and resist labels
This is a conversation about creativity, exploration, and resilience, and how storytelling through photography connects us more deeply to the world around us.
