Nature Photography, Forest Therapy & Self Publishing with Dave & Kelly Hutchison

In this episode (Ep. 3) of Shutter Trails, I sit down with nature photographers Dave & Kelly Hutchison to talk about their journey from creative partnership to publishing a bestselling Vancouver Island photography book. We explore: • How Dave transitioned from hobbyist to professional landscape photographer; • Kelly’s path into forest therapy and how it influences her creative writing • The process of self-publishing a high-quality photo book; • Working with editors, designers, and printers in Canada; • Building a photography business through bookstores, Amazon, art cards, and calendars; • The realities of stock photography (including Getty Images) • Hosting private photography workshops and whale tours; and • Their honest thoughts on AI in photography and creative authenticity. If you’re interested in landscape photography, nature photography, self-publishing, creative entrepreneurship, or building a photography career in Canada, this conversation offers some great insight from two working artists who are actively doing it. We also talked about: • Shooting with drones in natural environments; • Ethical wildlife photography; • Forest therapy; • Slowing down to see more creatively; and • The challenges of consistent art sales. Dave & Kelly share practical lessons from creating their Vancouver Island photography book — from researching market demand to printing with a Canadian publisher and distributing through bookstores across British Columbia.
