I hope you continue to post videos like this. As with viewing Travels to the Edge, I find it very helpful to hear how you think through your shots, what influences you, and how hard you work at it, both in walking about for the best angle and making sure the light is right. Travels to the Edge made my June visit to Banff, Canada, much more productive than the previous two trips, and likewise videos like this with all their details are a big help too. I can easily see attending one of your field workshops in the future that happens to be closer to the East Coast. Great work.
I enjoyed hearing about the challenges Art and the team faces as you work towards your objectives. As someone new to photography it’s nice to hear lessons learned from those that are experienced.
One of the specific things I’ve picked up from TTTE and through this video is the concept of active shots. Most of the shots I’ve really liked have a tension that I couldn’t articulate. Viewing the shots from TTTE it clicked in my head that these are wonderful in that there are no stagnant shots. It’s put me on the path to recognizing what I like and learning what’s necessary to incorporate that into my own shots.
Great video and interview… I now better pick up the hour and a bit that I spent watching it and keep on going with the work, but it was certainly well worth it.
Greetings from Spain.
Art Wolfe is not only a phenomenal photographer, but also an excellent teacher. I enjoy how he talks about patiently waiting for the right lighting to appear, and then seizing the moment! Best regards, Andrew Henry

A great in-depth study of one our greatest photographers who not only takes a photo, but inspires others with it.
