Ep 208 - Chasing Light in the Wildest Places with Marc Adamus

Marc Adamus is widely regarded as one of the most influential landscape photographers of his generation, known for his bold visual style and ability to capture fleeting moments of magic in the wilderness. Based in western North America, Marc has spent over a decade immersed in remote landscapes—from the storm-lashed peaks of Patagonia to the frozen wilds of Alaska—chasing light and atmosphere with relentless dedication.

 

In this episode, Marc opens up about the passion that drives his work and the philosophy behind his artistry. He reflects on early inspirations, including the impact of Galen Rowell, and how meticulous preparation, physical endurance, and emotional connection to the landscape all converge in his images. With stories ranging from months-long expeditions to narrowly surviving a fall in Alaska, Marc reveals the raw reality behind his dramatic and meticulously composed photographs.

 

He also discusses the evolution of the photography industry, his thoughts on originality, and how he continues to push creative boundaries. For anyone drawn to nature’s grandeur or seeking a deeper understanding of the craft, Marc’s insights offer a rare glimpse into the life and mind of a true wilderness artist.

I hope you enjoy the show!
