Mieke Boynton - How To Connect With The Landscape To Capture Meaningful Photos

Our guest this week is the incredibly talented and multi-award winning photographer Mieke Boynton!

Mieke's recent accolades among many other awards, includes the 2019 victorian landscape photographer of the year with the AIPP, and epson pano awards open photographer of the year 2019..

One of my favourite things about Mieke's work is her skill at finding patterns in nature, whether in abstract arial imagery or from the ground, and over the course of our conversation I came to learn how connecting with nature on a deeper level is a big part of what goes into achieving that.
