Sat, 03 Oct 2026 16:00:00 +0200

Host Toby Jermyn welcomes London-based Leica ambassador Alan Schaller, known for high-contrast black-and-white street photography featured at the Saatchi Gallery and in major publications.

Alan discusses selecting images for the show and his upcoming book Street Safari, explaining how photographing animals in cities helped him connect with people and build confidence. He describes a cover image of “yin and yang” swans shot in St James’s Park on the day of Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, his use of a Leica Monochrom and pre-visualisation, and a desert scene in Dubai created on assignment.

Alan shares how he transitioned from a music career into photography, co-founded Street Photography International, and developed a relationship with Leica. He talks about photographing Japanese band ONE OK ROCK, launching the photo-only platform Iris and Iris Publishing, choosing a dog portrait on Millennium Bridge, and admiring Pentti Sammallahti’s work.

Meet the Pro: Wildlife Photographer, Nelis Wolmarans

Sat, 19 Sep 2026 16:00:00 +0200

Host Toby Jermyn welcomes award-winning South African wildlife photographer and private guide Nelis Wolmarans, known for extensive experience with Africa’s great apes, including 131 gorilla treks.

Nelis shares the story behind his grand-prize-winning Rwanda mountain gorilla mother-and-infant photo that was displayed at the Smithsonian, plus an encounter where a silverback charged, knocked him over, and sat on his legs.

They discuss differences between Rwanda/DRC and Uganda gorilla habitats and permit prices, why two treks help guests settle into photographing gorillas, and practical guidance on settings and lens choices.

Nelis also presents images from a Mara wildebeest river crossing, an elephant bull among winter thorn trees in Lower Zambezi, and a young chimpanzee in Kibale, with tips for forest light challenges and chimp habituation treks. He highlights an admired leopard image by Mark Nicholson and discloses his remote “humble dwelling” location.

Host Toby Jermyn welcomes British wildlife photographer, tour leader, and conservationist Andy Rouse to the Pangolin Podcast, where guests choose four of their own images and one by another photographer for their remote “humble dwelling.”

Rouse recounts winning a humorous category at BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year as a student with an image of a fox chewing a garden gnome, then shares stories and technique behind his chosen photographs: subadult tigers fighting in Ranthambore, a wide-angle spectacled bear portrait from Ecuador’s cloud forest, an atmospheric roe deer image made through stalking and underexposure for mood, and a creative night pan of Kenya’s black leopard “Geezer” shot at ISO 51,200.

He discusses fieldcraft, ethical distance, guiding clients, publishing standards, creativity through failure, and mental health, then chooses rural Wiltshire as his forever location and admires Sergey Gorshkov’s backlit elephant photograph.

In this episode, world-renowned fine art wildlife photographer and conservationist Chris Fallows joins us from Cape Town to talk about the images (and moments) that shaped his career—from the legendary Air Jaws great white sharks of Seal Island to a moody humpback whale fluke years in the making, and a more painterly elephant scene from Mana Pools.

We also chat about how behaviour at Seal Island was discovered, what’s changed in False Bay, and why Chris is now using his print sales to help buy and protect land for wildlife corridors.

Meet The Pros - 4 Wildlife YouTubers visit The Pangolin Voyager

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 18:00:00 +0200

Welcome to Episode 25 of the Pangolin Podcast. Usually, we sit down with one expert, but for this edition week we have a massive crossover event. Pangolin Photo Host Janine Krayer is joined by four of South Africa’s most talented wildlife photography creators: Villiers Steyn, Mark Dumbleton, Lance van de Vyver, and Richard van Haght.

The Pros chat onboard the Pangolin Voyager Houseboat, about why a boat safari on the Chobe River offers a very different (and often better) photography and filming experience than a vehicle.

They discuss standout Chobe subjects—especially birds like skimmers, kingfishers, jacanas, night herons, and pratincoles—alongside elephants, hippos, and iconic silhouettes, plus how seasonality shifts opportunities from lush green to harsh dry conditions.

The conversation includes practical tips on lens choices, the benefits of houseboat comfort and social space, and recommended timing to visit The Chobe.

Meet the Pro: Wildlife Photographer Lance van de Vyver

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 18:00:00 +0200

Host Toby Jermyn welcomes wildlife photographer and photographic guide Lance van de Vyver, a New Zealand-born zoology graduate who moved to South Africa in 2012 and now runs specialist photographic safaris and co-hosts the Safari Shots podcast.

Lance discusses trips to Tanzania and Botswana’s Makgadikgadi and possible travel to India. He shares a career-launching black-and-white image of a pangolin being handled by a lioness, explaining the brief sighting and that the pangolin later died from heat and prolonged stress, prompting discussion about stricter guidelines and the Pangolin Guardians program.

He also describes a portrait of a captive-born pangolin pup later released, a flash-at-sunset leopard technique and ethics, a black-and-white giant anteater (“broomstick”) in Brazil, and a stitched telephoto lion portrait. His admired image is Thomas Vijayan’s camera-trap photograph of an Amur leopard. Lance struggles to choose a single ‘humble dwelling’ location, considering several safari regions.
