Photographing New Zealand with William Patino 

Thanks so much mate, it was a pleasure having a chat with you. And thanks everyone who's checked it out so far :)

Thanks Nick for introducing me to William. I'll check out his work when I finish listening to this interview. I'm a kiwi living in Hawkes Bay and although not a high profile district in a half hour time frame I could be photographing the river, the sea, bush or cloud inversion from the top of Te Mata Peak in the winter. I'm so glad to hear the conversation about handheld esp when I'm up Te Mata Peak on uneven surface constantly trying to alter the composition as the fog shifts on a tripod is a hassle and slows me down. Oh and Nick you are an all time idol of mine.

I just discovered Wills work in the last few weeks. Great to see an Aussie on RU-vid sharing his love of photography and Nature 🙏🌈

one of the best Nick and not just because its my country....I have followed Will since I picked up a camera and have luved the way he works and his philosophy......I keep saying you need to come and visit...you might find like Will you never want to leave

You two really meditated for a while on workflow in a way that wasn't stale or superficial. I don't know about anyone else, but I was completely engaged. Mileage may vary. Thanks!

Yeah great to sit with this conversation. I was particularly intrigued around the hand held part. I thought I was weird doing most of my stuff hand held. I take it very very rarely. Great to hear of others who tend to use it only in some circumstances, but prefer to have a different relationship with tool, and environment. James Popsys is another one. Thanks for sharing the conversation. Thinking through some stuff now . . . .

Brilliant interview! I think will is one of the most exiting artists in the world (as are you nick) and was lucky enough for him to mentor me for a while.. fantastic teacher and with chatting to him found out how respectful he is.. with everything, people, nature, raw files… absolutely top lad

Fantastic interview. Great points about photographing without a tripod. I really need to do that more often.

Two of my favourites photographers🙏

Totally agree with the tripod use. It always fascinates me why photographers comment on their work that it’s straight out of camera or hand held. Does anyone really care. I to enjoy the freedom of no tripod. Great interview thanks for the introduction to William’s work

Great episode. Thanks for the introduction to Will's work. It's stunning! And your conversation with him was very interesting.

Thank you, it's a pleasure to listen to the conversation of two great photographers and teachers

The handheld guy. Nice, and something to think about. Interesting interview. Thanks

Two of my favourites 👍😃

Geez another great video Nick. I'm sorry you cant get out and do your workshops, but us poor suckers sitting at home on the couch are benefiting from this great content. I'm very grateful. I'm in NZ, and I usually try and avoid NZ youtubers so I can do my own thing without to much influence, but this guy is too good. ❤ No tripod you say... 🤔

loL..Nick...thats my country........so cool

Great chat...thanks for sharing it here too Nick!

Hey Nick, this was an interesting interview, thanks!

Thx ,both of you ✌️

Great guest. Have been following him for quite some time and his work is simply outstanding. He can really promote NZ with his photography and it still blows my mind how diverese NZ's landscape really is.

Great chat...thx for sharing your thoughts...

Great video … really enjoyed it. I have followed both of you, so good to see the collaboration. Will is a lucky lad to live in Fiordland ….. I’m just hoping to get down there sometime soon … been a few years ….. it feels so remote only a short distance from the road, the bush is so dense and the valley sides so steep, that hiking is always a challenge.

I’m so Glad Will made the point of that he uses mirrorless. I was really starting to think I was useless at hand held photography with low shutter speeds on my 6DMKII 😂😂 Fantastic interview and awesome to to hear he is originally from Aus. Bloody legend. Williams work is absolutely out of this world! 🇦🇺🤙🥃🍻

Great video guys 😎 just incredible 🔥

My god I just found this guy by facebook recomendations and now you put out a video with him... He is amazing and so are you, this is a dream colab

I heard you mention Will Patino in your Q&A a couple of days ago and funnily enough he held a webinar yesterday. It was a plug for the sale of his complete PS tutorial at a substantially reduced price!

great interview, great guest and the host

Great conversation! I was especially grateful when you both discussed the conservation component to landscape photography. Thanks to both of you!

What an inspirational interview Nick and with a photographer that I've had the pleasure of two workshops with, one in New Zealand and the other in Patagonia. Thanks for everything you both do in the photographic world of which I find very motivating.

Hi Nick, a great podcast with William Patino. I have been considering moving away from the Fujifilm X series for some time. I am looking at moving to the Sony A7R1111; I started out on Nikon D300, D300s, and D610 and then moved into the mirrorless Fujifilm X series. Time to move back to Full-frame mirrorless cameras.

Excellent. Could listen to you guys for hours. Thank you.

great conversation!

Bravo to you two! Splendid conversation

Yes only discovered Will's work earlier this year, love it great to hear two landscape legends having a chat.

Look Forward To This One!

Thanks for this video Nick, most interesting a d yes, check out William Patino, talented guy from these parts.

That’s was a great watch, Will is super inspirational with his way of photography.

THis is fantastic Nick! I'm a fan of Will Patino and a fellow Australian. I remember when He decided to uproot and move to NZ -South Island. I understand why, but it's a BIG move with a young family. Love WP's work and ability to do landscape photography in his very individual style. Sitting here in Sydney, watchi 2 great photographers have a great conversation. Cheers.

Awesome interview and thank you for posting/highlighting.

Interesting video Nick. Can I suggest a follow-up with William and you, where you both review some of his images, and he talks through the thought process behind taking them?

Real interesting.

I’m a big fan of William & he is one of my favourite photographers. Hopefully I can do one of his workshops one day soon. I’ve just returned from a NZ south island holiday with my wife & did notice a decline in Kia numbers from previous visits so William’s conservation work & giving back can only help make a difference. Thanks for the great interview. 😀👍

Yea Will new zealand all day !! Nick come on down

Great interview. Excellent content. Thanks.

Awesome stuffs man.

I really enjoyed your chat will William, Nick. Awesome listen as always! I had no idea he had a youtube channel as well. I'm going to check that out, too. Thanks to you both for sharing your thoughts with the community. Have a great weekend!

how about collaborating with Will as a co-leader of a New Zealand photo workshop Nick?

That was great Nick! Will is amazing photographer and such an impressive guy. Nick, you need to head to south island NZ a landscape photographers dream!

I enjoyed this interview Nick and Will. A lot of what you discussed resonated with my own experiences and learning. And NZ is a great place to spend time in nature with camera, I'd love to get back there one day.

Thank you Nick for bring William into our worlds, I knew of William but just busy and hadn't sat down to find him on social media. I was especially interested in the handheld conversation and the giving back to conservation groups. I'll definitely be subscribing to Williams youtube so thank you so much.

That was a great interview. I think I am saying that because I could self identify with most everything Will said, from tripods to post-processing. Thanks for bringing this to us.

I've never had the patience for a tripod. Changed over to Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark ii a year ago.

Positive interview. NZ based but dare I say Aussie Aussie Aussie.

Really interesting & inspiring conversation 👍

Very interesting podcast! I wish i had someone IRL to talk about photography with... sadly no one i know is into it. I am in a wheelchair and even tho i am about as mobile as it's technically possible for a wheelchair, especially with my wife's help, moving around hard terrain remains complicated... so dealing with a tripod usually makes it even worse, so i do way more handheld than tripod shots... I now know that my shot are bad not because i don't use a tripod but because i suck. :P Also, i am very much on board with the "editing is tedious and daunting" - i really dislike that part of photography and many times when i come home with a lot of pictures, all excited because i managed to find something curious or beautiful to shoot (i am not a pro and really can't spend much dedicated time, photography is usually a "side thing" that goes with our travels and life) i actually don't want to open them up in Lightroom. It's a mixture of annoyance with the process and "fear" of having fucked up the shots and wasted a probable once-in-a-lifetime opportunity (since usually i can't just go back to awesome places just to take pictures). Anyway, see you on Vero :)

Tripods are a landscape photographer’s best friend

Fantastic interview Nick. Maybe do the same with some of the premier storm photos.

Hi Nick and Will. That was an awesome discussion, I thoroughly enjoyed it and came away with quite a bit to think about. I follow both your channels and am really into Will's work because I love New Zealand. Will captures the landscape as I remember it to be... with the amazing light and environment. Will's courses are absolutely excellent too, I can personally recommend them. Thank you both for making the video

Man wouldn’t have guessed his workflow was primarily just ACR adjustment brushes

Hello from Germany

Poor guy is grilled for not using a tripod, which is totally Ok. An awesome interview nonetheless. Subscribe to Will's channel immediately.
