Bob Holmes' Keys to Great Photography: Seeing, Skill, and Serendipity
The man's an icon. And a hoot!
Note: Apologies to the fabulous Bri Sneller for the caption misspelling of her first name (and who is, as Bob delicately pointed out, not cheese), and Bob Gilka, Bob's guy at National Geographic.
I'm excited about my recent in depth conversation with renowned travel photographer Robert "Bob" Holmes, exploring his journey from a shy boy to an award-winning photographer. He's not only uber-talented, but he's funny and a most enjoyable travel companion (I visited San Francisco with Bob, his business partner Andrea Johnson, and a small group of really fun folks last August). Bob is one who early on followed his passion for mountain climbing and photography and has few regrets. We discuss the importance of stepping outside one's comfort zone, the art of photography, and his transition from primarily travel photography to encompass food and wine photography too. Bob shares insights on teaching photography, the current landscape of the industry, and offers valuable advice for aspiring photographers. Bob rocks! And oh, check out his photos in the podcast and on Instagram here:
