Welcome back to The Camera Cafe Show! This week, we have the legendary Art Wolfe joining us for an incredible deep dive into his photographic journey—and let’s just say, if there were an Olympic event for never sitting still, Art would take gold.
From his childhood adventures in the forests of Seattle to climbing mountains with a 4x5 camera from his dad (because why make it easy?), Art’s story is one of relentless curiosity and creative evolution. In this first part of our conversation, we talk about his early influences, his switch from painting to photography, his time working with National Geographic, his worldwide travels and the stories that go with them and of course a walk through his passion of making books. We also hear about his… let’s call it ‘challenging’ experience in Russia and China, his run-in with a charging rhino in Nepal, and why his short teaching middle school career convinced him to face down magazine editors without fear.
Of course, we will also do some gear talk. Art shares his approach to packing light (as in, he finally appreciates not lugging 20kg of lenses), why switching to digital was like flipping a switch, and his thoughts on camera debates (spoiler: he doesn’t care much, just use the tool that works!).
If you’re wondering how one man manages to travel nine months a year, create over 120 books, and still find time to craft a Japanese-style garden at home, this episode will leave you both inspired and exhausted just listening to his schedule.
And guess what? We’re not done yet! This is just Part 1—next week, we get even deeper into Art’s process, where he talks about his tv show, good friends and photography colleagues and the philosophy that keeps him pushing forward.
So, grab your favorite cup of coffee—or tequila if you want to keep up with Art’s energy—and enjoy the show!
