Listen "Slowing Down with Soraia Salvador"
Episode Synopsis
I’m so happy to share this first episode of 2022 because this episode is about hope, photography and nature. In this episode my guest is Soraia Salvador, the Head of Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition organized by the Natural History Museum in London.
I met Soraia last December, at her place in south London. We sat at her table surrounded by plants, facing her beautiful garden. And not to sound too cheesy, but the sky was blue, the birds were singing and a little fox passed by as soon as we finished the recording.
Soraia is the mentor that everybody wants to meet. She’s sitting a front of me with a vision and she brights up the room with her communicative smile and her sparkly eyes. In this episode we talk about what it takes to be a Wildlife Photographer and the strategies to bring more female photographers and minority groups to participate to the competition but we also talk about the responsibility we all have, the importance of role models and of slowing down.
