Tasmanian wilderness photographer Cam Blake reflects on a lifetime shaped by the landscapes of Australia, beginning with childhood explorations in Northeast Victoria. Now an accredited and commercially licensed photographer, Cam is known for his deep connection to remote places and for capturing the raw, rugged character of Tasmania’s wild environments. His imagery has appeared in major publications including Australian Geographic, Olympus UK/US, and WILD Outdoor Magazine, showcasing both his technical skill and his profound respect for nature.

Cam explains that he has always approached photography with a scientific curiosity rather than a purely artistic mindset, yet the emotional pull of the natural world remains at the heart of his work. Beyond creating images, he is dedicated to helping others grow as photographers. Through multi-day workshops across Tasmania and mainland Australia, he offers hands-on guidance, inspiring participants to develop their craft while immersing themselves in spectacular wilderness settings.

He speaks candidly about the realities of running a photography business, the importance of preserving memories through images, and the therapeutic value photography can offer in an increasingly fast-paced world. Cam also shares his thoughts on the future of the industry—its challenges, its rewards, and the enduring power of connecting people to wild places through visual storytelling.

I hope you enjoy the show!
