Photographing Mongolia - A Lifetime of Cultural Immersion

June 12, 2023  |  Mongolia

Immersing ourselves in other cultures can be a very rewarding experience and can dramatically improve our photography.

On today's episode, I had a blast speaking with Kevin Pepper, a Canadian photographer and fellow Muench Workshops instructor. Kevin and I first met on my first trip with Muench last year to Antarctica and we really hit it off. I became deeply interested in his passion for Mongolia, which was largely the focus of today's podcast.

On this week's episode, we discuss:

  • How Kevin transitioned from working for Autotrader.com to being a FT photography instructor.
  • Kevin's deep immersion into the Mongolian culture.
  • Tips and tricks for telling stories with our images.
  • How Mongolia has changed over the past decade.
  • Kevin's approach to making images within a different culture.
  • Mongolian Eagle Hunters - their history and why they exist.
  • And a lot more!
