I recently had the pleasure of joining photographer Richard Bernabe on the Beyond the Lens podcast for a conversation about my new book, Acts of Faith: The Beauty of Belief. We talked about photography, religion and culture, and what I’ve learned from witnessing and photographing expressions of faith around the world.
Acts of Faith brings together photographs made over decades of travel, from large public celebrations and sacred ceremonies to pilgrimage, prayer, and much quieter moments of personal devotion. While the traditions themselves can be extraordinarily different, working on this collection has continually reminded me of the common threads of humanity that connect us.
The book includes hundreds of photographs from nearly forty countries, accompanied by a foreword from Pico Iyer and essays by Art Davidson that offer cultural and historical context for many of the traditions represented.
I hope you’ll listen to my conversation with Richard and learn a little more about the experiences and ideas behind the book!

Acts of Faith is also available to preorder directly through my website. Copies ordered through the Art Wolfe store will be signed by me and include a bonus print.
Just before heading out on my current trip, I sat down with Matt Jacobs on The Mood Podcast to talk about. . . well, a little bit of everything! Matt, an esteemed photographer himself is also the host of The Mood Podcast, and asked some fantastic questions. We definitely had some laughs, shared some truths and had a great conversation.

I had the recent pleasure of joining host Grant Swinbourne of the Landscape Photography World Podcast to talk about a lifetime of landscape photography experience. This talk is mainly centered around the idea of keeping things fresh and staying inspired and I discuss many of the ways I have stayed motivated and challenged over the course of my career.
We talked about my pre-travel preparation, my approach to working in the field, and touch a bit on how to stay positive and productive when a shoot or trip doesn’t turn out the way you want it to.
I recently joined Jack Graham and John Pederson on the We Talk Photo podcast to talk about wild lives and much more. We had such a great conversation that it needed to be turned into a two-parter. You can catch the first part here – bookmark the page for when part 2 drops!

I was recently invited to join a podcast with Jim Harmer and Nick Page from improvephotography.com. We covered a range of topics from learning to use fine art principles to serve as an entry point into shooting subjects and locations, to how to get noticed and market yourself using today’s technologies, while still staying true to yourself as an artist and creator.
If the podcast inspires you and you live in the Texas area, sign-ups are still available in Austin this weekend for the presentation of my Photography As Art seminar, where I dive much deeper into many of the topics we touch on in the podcast.
