28:56-29:14 = THAT IS WHY I LOVE PRINTING SO ! Great vid!
Agreed Ted, printing is an absolute joy in photography.
What an inredible honour to have listened (for an hour) to two great and inspiring photographers like these guys. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Very good questions from the host as well.
Our pleasure JC!
What a brilliant hour of conversation! I am uplifted and inspired by the artistic thoughts of Master Photographers on the level of Hougaard Malan and Martin Osner. Kudos also to Martin Kluge for his elegant moderation of the conversation.
Thanks Vicki, we appreciate you kind words. Happy you enjoyed.
Thanks Vicki. I can't wait to see what we're going to witness over the Namib next year!

Really nice to hear these open discussions, and to see some of the work…..excellent.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Martin & Hougaard, great talk by both of u.. valuable insight into your techniques & motivation. Both of u have highlighted the merit of lighting & composition rather than the location itself & it inspires me to stop chasing locations & instead focus on the creative aspects.
Thanks a lot... It has given a direction!!!
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great interview, thanks Martin

Glad you enjoyed it Pierre!
A wonderful insight from both photographers .. two totally different generations both so unique in many ways . And both very successful as a result of passion and determination! I am a firm believer if you love and enjoy what you do and do it for the right reasons then you will always be successful , do it for personal satisfaction before the financial rewards . This interview was richly appreciated and very inspirational . Thanks to all 3 gentlemen . Bravo 👏
Hi Ross
Thanks so much for watching and for the insightful comment. I wholeheartedly agree and hopefully we can keep doing what we love!
All the best in your photographic journey.
Hougaard
Hougaard Malan Hi .. thanks for your reply and comment . Taking the time out of your busy day is appreciated ! 👌🏻🙏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it Ross! Thanks for taking the time to let us know
Hi Hougaard & Martin. I really appreciated this discussion. It helped me to reconnect a bit with my passion (I have been busy building my new home north of windhoek for the past 18 months). You are welcome to visit BTW. Thank you guys!
Hi Paul, thank you so much for your kind comment. Good luck with your new home. Regards Martin
Thanks Paul. I hope you're having fun in the desert exploring architectural expression?
How refreshing and more thoughtful than a lot of photography talk online. Thanks!
Thanks for the compliment Stefan.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Well done to all three of you. Great interview. Interesting content throughout.
I have been frustrated an not being able to travel internationally, but you have reminded me that local is lekker and I am inspired to capture more of the raw beauty around us.
It's our pleasure Steve! We live in a wonderful country, plus light makes great photographs and we have a lot of that as well.
Thank you. You have inspired me to continue on my journey and search for my own take on the environment. Not processing photographs immediately after a shoot is something that never occurred to me but makes so much sense.
Hi Saskia, I am pleased to hear the discussion inspired you. Yes, emotions cloud one's vision. You will see how effective it is to only visit a shoot six months later.
Thanks for watching Saskia. I'm glad that you found some value in the talk.
Great interview and Hougard sums it up in the 7th minute . Exactly what i experienced .
Thank you for your comment!
I really enjoyed this unique tutorial/interview. I think the most important thing that I learned from you guys today is to leave the photos a little while before editing. So often I am so excited about some shot I took ages on and nobody likes it, but some of those incidental snaps when my daughter says, Daddy, that’s a nice view and I take it, leave it on the SD card a few weeks only to discover it looks magic. Actually the kids have a great eye for a view.
I’m new to photography, actually started at the beginning of first lock down for something to do, and I’m loving it. I never noticed the beauty in nature before but now even going for walks I’m seeing nice compositions, shapes in clouds and patterns I was blind to before.
Nice interview guys. Really enjoyed it.
Hi Christopher, it's wonderful to know that you have learned something from the interview. Yes, without a doubt, we get emotionally attached to what we shoot, and we expect the viewer to react the same way, but they don't. Six months at least before you start to seriously process your photographs. Enjoy your photography journey.
@@MartinOsner thank you 🙏
This was an insightful chat guys, complimented well by your beautiful work throughout the interview. I enjoyed seeing the different perspectives being highlighted, each person following their own path to success.
Much appreciated Rob. Glad you enjoyed it!

Such a wonderful interview.. great insights shared ❤️🙏🏽

Thanks for this very inspirational talk.
Thanks Frank, you are most welcome
Thanks for watching Frank.
This was great! The only thing I can disagree with is not visiting the same location over and over again. I think if you’re learning and that place happens to be local, then visiting it over and over again can teach you how to read the light and find different compositions.
You make a good point Jay, and I suppose there are different approaches for all. For me, I like to travel to new "undiscovered" places in Southern Africa, some of which I know I will not be returning, so with that thought in the back of mind, I try to squeeze out every ounce of opportunity. Up every morning before daybreak, and back to camp every evening after last light without fail. In this way I feel I have done the location justice. I also feel that if returning to the same location over and over, a sense of creativity gets jaded somewhat. So this just works for me.
Great interview…feeling inspired.
Thank you Vinay, much appreciate it!
Good interview and amazing photos!
Thank you Juhani.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very interesting conversation
Thank you Carlos
excellent.....
Thank You!!
Thanks Krishna.
Very interesting. Now if you guys have problems finding virgin territory for photography in a vast country such as South Africa, spare a thought for us poor landscape photographers in the UK or more precisely England. I think even the lamp posts have been well covered. IMHO digital has a lot to do with ' popularizing ' photography particularly landscape photography, the skill in using a camera effectively and having to learn the craft have been eliminated. More and more imaging computers called ' digital cameras ' now negate the need to spend years learning what to do. Great chat. Thanks.
Thank you very much for your insight, and we are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the talk. Southern Africa, including Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique is still a treasure trove of vast unexplored photographic areas...and long may it last.
You have my sympathy lensman. We are very spoiled here in Africa with vast tracts of undocumented countryside and wilderness.
I firmly believe there will never be any substitute for good light and original composition, but we'll have to see what the future holds!
It's a little disingenuous to say the camera doesn't matter ... it does matter if you want quality when printing large photos . I use a canon 60D and I can get good photos but if you look closely the sharpness isn't there ... but it's all I can afford and it makes me happy 😊
You certainly have a point when it comes to technical quality where not only the sensor, but even more importantly the lens plays a major roll. For me, and especially so in fine art photography, texture and grain are very important, and in this context, the camera does not really matter. Enjoy your photography!
Nice interview 😀😀
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was very interesting, not to mention inspiring and the imagery is just ...beyond. However, I have to say as an amateur / hobbyist landscape photo-schmuck living in the deep south USA armpit of "nature" I find ultimately this type of content is too far above me (not this one specifically, just in general). As much as I like and value it, and as much as I would desire to incorporate what I've heard, in a practical sense it just doesn't seem to apply to my version of reality. This level of "photographic existence" and I are simply in two different, unconnected universes. We're too far apart in the real world, which only compounds the level of frustration. ...sigh...
But nonetheless it was well worth watching.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts! I'm glad you found the content interesting and inspiring. I completely understand that certain photography concepts can feel distant or challenging, especially in different geographic and environmental contexts. It's important to remember that everyone's photographic journey is unique, and there's no one-size-fits-all approach. Passion and dedication are what truly matter in the end. Regards Martin
@@MartinOsner I can identify with the concepts, although it's been a while since my university art-major studies 4+ decades ago. It's mostly the level of attainment and "operational strata" that's so far above me. A bit like a brain surgeon explaining a procedure while I'm struggling to trim my fingernails, as it were. At least it feels that way. No offense intended, just a seemingly unbridgeable chasm. Thanks for the reply.
Ugh. I will never like this kind of photography. It's too close to kitsch and really does not tell anything more than "buy me for the living room".
