Guiding the Lens: Wild Landscapes and Mindful Photography with Fiona McLean
This is an interview I’ve been looking forward to for some time. Fiona McLean is a multi-disciplined photographer who splits her time between Canada and Scotland. We had a really good conversation and the hour went by all too quickly.
I really enjoy the perspective that a drone can give and she’s got some truly amazing drone photos.

Some of the topics we covered are:
How travel and nature photography shaped Fiona’s career;
Shooting across more than 40 countries and balancing life between two continents;
Her evolution from grand landscapes to waterfalls, wildlife, macro, and abstract work;
The creative highs (and nerve-wracking lows) of drone photography;
Becoming a certified hiking guide and combining outdoor leadership with photography;
Ethical photography practices—wildlife, geotagging, and environmental impact ;and
Advocacy for women in photography and barriers in the industry (and more)!
