Lucky episode 13! Speaking with Steve Jessmore was an absolute pleasure. We discussed self-criticizing our work, how time plays the biggest factor, and what has happened in Steve's life since sweeping the professional category of the 2021 Audubon Photography Awards.

Steve went from a career photojournalist with no lack of accolades to diving head-first into wildlife photography during the pandemic. After only a year of honing his skills on the river, Steve has proven himself to be one of the most accomplished wildlife photographers in the United States this year. His humbled insight into the world of professional photography as well as his insane work ethic go on full display during this episode, which left me even more motivated to hit the woods this season.

You can find Steve's photographs on his website as well as his Instagram, linked below.
