Jody MacDonald – Through the Lens of Adventure

Jody MacDonald has spent most of her life capturing the raw beauty of the world’s most remote corners – from the decks of a sailing boat crossing the oceans to paragliding expeditions through the Himalayas. In this episode, she shares her journey of becoming one of the most respected adventure photographers in the world, the turning points that shaped her career, and how personal loss, risk and creativity fuelled her transformation.

We talk about:

• Sailing around the world for 10 years while building a photography career

• Finding meaning through adversity, including surviving a life-threatening tumor

• Her unique relationship to flying and freedom

• The deeper purpose behind capturing images in wild places

Jody’s path reminds us that adventure isn’t about the destination — it’s about the way we look at life, and the courage to keep creating through uncertainty.
