THE LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY PODCAST OF THE GREAT LAKES.

The Great Lakes are more than the location of the show. They are part of its identity.

From the cliffs and forests of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula to the shorelines, waterfalls, weather, and changing seasons across the region, these landscapes shape the conversations and stories shared here. The Lakescape Photography Podcast is grounded in a sense of place, and in the belief that meaningful photography begins with paying attention to where we are.

The Lakescape Photography Podcast explores landscape photography through the places, people, and experiences that shape the Great Lakes region.

Hosted by Nicholas Albert, the show blends thoughtful conversations with photographers, personal reflections from the field, and practical discussions about creativity, process, and the deeper reasons we make photographs.

INSIDE THE SHOW.

Honest discussions about process, creativity, business, failure, growth, and the work behind the finished image.

Conversations with photographers

Reflections on photographing the Great Lakes, traveling through the region, and learning from the landscapes themselves.

Stories from the field

Composition, light, editing, fieldcraft, artistic direction, and the decisions that shape a meaningful body of work.

Creative and practical insight

The human side of photography

Identity, pressure, purpose, community, and finding a sustainable relationship with creativity.

THE NEXT CHAPTER.

The Lakescape Photography Podcast is currently preparing for its return in 2027.

The next chapter will feature thoughtful conversations with photographers, occasional solo reflections, and a more intentional release schedule built around meaningful ideas rather than a constant publishing calendar.

Until then, the full archive remains available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube Music. Stay subscribed and join me when the conversation continues.
