Michael Frye has lived in or near Yosemite National Park since 1983. That kind of deep, sustained connection to a place shapes everything about how he photographs, and it shows in work that's been published in over 30 countries and featured in National Wildlife, Outdoor Photographer and American Photo among many others.
His time at the Ansel Adams Gallery was formative, bringing him into contact with photographic history, printmaking and a way of working that emphasises decisions made before the shutter rather than fixes made after. That old school foundation sits underneath everything he does, even the surreal nighttime work and high key images that sit alongside his classic landscapes.
In this episode Michael talks about conveying how a place feels rather than just how it looks, balancing planned shoots with spontaneous responses to conditions, and building a sustainable photography business alongside his wife. He's also thoughtful about growing mistrust in imagery as manipulation and AI become harder to detect.
