The Art of Photography Podcast
With Stanley Aryanto

A podcast where you can learn, be inspired and fall in love with photography all over again.

My goal for this podcast is to help you to find hope, purpose and happiness through photography. Whether it’s to:

Learn the journey, passion and stories behind other photographers.

Get inspired and motivated knowing that we all struggle at one point or another.

Learn and progress your skill further through these world-class photographers’ experiences and mistakes.

As you see these extraordinary photographers on social media, sometimes it’s easy to think that they’re an overnight success. For that reason, we often expect expensive gear and YouTube Videos will get you there in a week or two, whereas in fact most of these photographers took years to get to where they are right now.

Many of us didn’t realise is the hard work and sacrifices these photographers put into building their craft. So if you been feeling down because you feel your progress is not fast enough, or you have lost your creative mojo, perhaps some of these stories can be an inspiration to bring back your passion.

Photography is more about the journey, it’s a part of our life.

I’m also wanting to be able to provide a platform for photographers to be able to share their stories past the 160 characters on social media.

If you’re like us our main purpose for photography is to be happy. Whether it is through:

The Wicked Hunts chase and capture unique moments that we see in our life.
The memories we get to capture and leave as a legacy for years to come.
The journey and challenges to get the photo that we can be proud of and get appreciated by others through social media, awards, publication or other monetary exchange.

Social media following and true fans should follow as a result but the main purpose of photography is not to get those likes and followers on social media.
