  • Summary

  • A podcast where you can learn, be inspired and fall in love with photography all over again. My goal for this podcast is to help you to find hope, purpose and happiness through photography. Whether it’s to 1. Learn the journey, passion and stories behind other photographers. 2. Get inspired and motivated knowing that we all struggle at one point or another. 3. Learn and progress your skill further through these world-class photographers’ experiences and mistakes. As you see these extraordinary photographers on social media, sometimes it’s easy to think that they’re an overnight success. For that reason, we often expect expensive gear and YouTube Videos will get you there in a week or two, whereas in fact most of these photographers took years to get to where they are right now. Many of us didn’t realise is the hard work and sacrifices these photographers put into building their craft. So if you been feeling down because you feel your progress is not fast enough, or you have lost your creative mojo, perhaps some of these stories can be an inspiration to bring back your passion. I’m also wanting to be able to provide a platform for photographers to be able to share their stories past the 160 characters on social media. Photography is more about the journey, it’s a part of our life. If you’re like us our main purpose for photography is to be happy. Whether it is through: 1. The Wicked Hunts chase and capture unique moments that we see in our life. 2. The memories we get to capture and leave as a legacy for years to come. 3. The journey and challenges to get the photo that we can be proud of and get appreciated by others through social media, awards, publication or other monetary exchange. Social media following and true fans should follow as a result, but the main purpose of photography is not to get those likes and followers on social media. https://www.instagram.com/thewickedhunt https://www.facebook.com/thewickedhunt https://www.twitter.com/thewickedhunt https://stanleyaryanto.com ------- The Wicked Hunt You Better Hold Fast The Wicked Hunt is a mission to go through unconventional ways to experience and capture unique moments. As a photographer, it is my duty to show a different perspective of the world, hopefully in a better way. The Wicked Hunt isn’t about hunting for the perfect photo. Instead, it’s about enduring the journey to find and experience that perfect moment. Whether it is a long hike to a unique spot, an early wake-up to find unique lighting during sunrise, a quality time with friends and family or merely a deeper observation of a common area. The photo was never the goal, it’s simply the trophy, something to capture that perfect moment and something to remember it by. We all dream about a moment in a place at a certain time, but often we’re discouraged by fear of failure and going out of our comfort zone. As a Wicked Hunter, I believe that we should overcome these fear. Life is fragile and precious. We don’t know when our time will come to an end. We only have one shot at making this our life, a life that is driven by love and passion, not fear. We must take more risks, go out of our comfort zone and take small actions toward our “dreams”, however big or small they might be. Don’t wait for the perfect moments because they’ll never come. Instead, make those moments perfect in their way. - About the artist: In 2018, I finally found the courage to leave my career as a mechanical engineer. When I left my career, my mission was simple: To be able to experience and capture the unseen perspectives of the world so that I could inspire & bring happiness to other people. To help others to find hope, purpose and happiness through their passion and live their dream life. I’m honoured to have won over 100 international awards, published in magazines like Canadian Geographic, and Exhibited in countries like Australia, US and Japan.

    Ep 59 - How to value your photography so that you’re not undercutting your own price with John Weatherby
    Nov 28 2023
    Hey Wicked Hunters, Excited to announce this week guest for The Art of Photography Podcast with John Weatherby.   John Weatherby, a skilled photographer from Tampa, embarked on his photographic journey while juggling waitering duties during his college years. His initial foray into photography began with managing social media accounts, which sparked an interest in enhancing his photographic skills. This newfound passion led Weatherby to invest in professional gear, including a DSLR camera and lighting equipment. Breaking away from the hospitality sector, Weatherby turned his lens towards the scenic vistas of Tampa Bay. His unique captures of the city quickly garnered local admiration and underscored his potential to transform his hobby into a thriving career. In 2015, Weatherby established Weatherby Photography, a venture that has since collaborated with prominent names like Uber, the University of Tampa, and the Home Depot. Renowned for his vibrant and innovative depictions of Tampa, Weatherby excels in presenting the city through a creative lens. His portfolio, however, is not limited to fine art; it also encompasses commercial and architectural photography. Weatherby's philosophy revolves around the gratification of turning a beloved hobby into a sustainable livelihood. He finds immense joy and fulfillment in not only pursuing his passion but also in adding value to the lives and businesses of others through his artistic talent.   You can connect and browse through more of John’s work below: https://linktr.ee/whereisweatherbyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/whereisweatherby/ Website and prints: https://johnweatherby.com/ --- alternative ways to listen to the podcast: Spotify - http://bit.ly/twhspotify Apple Podcast - https://bit.ly/Theartofphotography Google Podcast: https://bit.ly/TheArtOfPhotographyWithStanleyAr Website: podcast.thewickedhunt.com Tune In (Alexa) - https://bit.ly/TuneInTheArtOfPhotographyPodcastWithStanleyAr    For those of you who want to connect with Stanley Aryanto, you can go to the following: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewickedhunt/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thewickedhunt/Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/thewickedhunt/https://www.TheWickedHunt.com/ ----- Transcription   John Weatherby  0:00   It gets really confusing really fast.

You know, like, you know, Van life can be very remote and inconvenient sometimes, which can be good. But if you're, you know, trying to check out from the busy world, but yeah, New York is like the opposite of that.

And I think some of those fears are real Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt  0:11   Hey Wicked Hunters Welcome back to The Art of Photography podcast, where we share artists journey and our photography, giving them purpose and happiness. And today we have someone who's very special. And I know that topic around AI has been a lot of Converse, there has been a lot of conversation around AI and Barry had managed to create something that's truly unique with his NFT projects, as well as some of his photographs they have taken, you know, throughout the years. So very controversial, very fun, but also very educational. For those of you who want to learn a little bit more about it. Barry, welcome back to the podcast. Thank you very much for sparing your time. And, you know, to join this and share your story and inspire the listeners out there. Barry Sutton  1:12   Thanks for having me here. Stanley Aryanto - The Wicked Hunt  1:16   Yeah, so you know, it's been, I followed you, I saw your project and what you've done from a friend, and it's very inspiring to see how you have put together, you know, what you have put together and we'll go, we'll go into that a little bit later. I know you had massive success, you know, build a big community through this project as well. But before we get that, I'd like to know, how did you get started, you know, you were showing me your very first camera earlier, right? What makes you fall in love with photography and want to do more of it? Barry Sutton  1:57   Well, that's a thanks for asking, it's a great place to start. You know, I was, I was studying, I was studying music, actually in college. And after the first semester, I I didn't know where that was going to take me. And after that first summer, my roommate was an amazing graphic designer. And I had always, I was always drawn and painted as a kid. And even from I think my mom saved portraits that I made when I was like two years old. And I had a real sense of like, capturing the world and I was a little kid. And and that year, I sort of changed my focus from, from music to the visual arts. And the next year, I packed up my car in the middle of the night and drove back to Los Angeles, and from school and decided I wanted to enrol in art school. And I studied graphic design for a couple of years and, and first picked up a Polaroid camera, which was just a revelation for me, because I was I was just the magic of this sort of instant gratification or making an exact replication of what you saw so quickly. Just really, it just really took off. And really, from that moment on, I think I was destined to, to pursue a path as sharper, rather than a graphic designer. And that took a few years to kind of like make its way full time into my, into my consciousness. But yeah, eventually ended up with a camera that was really never looked back.

    Aug 29 2023
    Hey Wicked Hunters,  It has been too long! I've been overwhelmed putting together both NFT Bali Artweek as well as Sloika World Photography Day event, and I been struggling to keep up.  I'm very excited that we have gotten 8,000 submissions from the two exhibitions, have 7 satellite exhibitions from the 2 events and reached millions of people. I'd like to thank everyone who has contributed and become part of the event.  Now I am back and I am excited to introduce John Knopf!  With over 15 years of field experience, John Knopf has made his mark in the world of landscape photography through his vibrant, evocative imagery and commitment to conservation. Embracing the challenge of capturing the raw beauty of nature, Knopf delivers powerful images that inspire appreciation and protection of our ecosystem. An Emmy-nominated, photographer, his work has been recognized by National Geographic, TIME, Red Bull, USA Today, and various prestigious exhibitions including Venice Biennale and Art Basel. A trailblazer in the NFT space, he hosted the first and largest NFT Photography gallery at Art Basel & NFT NYC.

And it was like a stupid idea because like, like, just like, I'm just a kid from Miranda, Arizona, like I graduated with like 1.8 GPA. I barely graduated. My parents were you in and out of prison like, Mike, I was told by all my teachers, there's no way I was going to amount to anything, I was most likely going to end up homeless in a trailer park or just, you know, in prison Ed.
