I was introduced to this show in November and I’ve binge-listened to over 200 episodes since then. I’ve found tips in the episodes that have improved my photography and my Lightroom already - and the travel stories aren’t helping my wanderlust. I’ve planned about 10 years worth of wildlife travel after hearing some of these podcasts and at some point I am going to have to travel with the Wild Eye crew.
This is the best way to sharpen your photography skills and you will enjoy all the laughs as well
can’t recommend it enough
This is one of my favourite podcasts, and is hands down my favourite podcast related to photography. Well done Gerry, love your philosophy and attitude. I’m pretty new to wildlife photography and am very inspired by you and your awesome team.
Good experiences, good laughs, and great photos!

The series covers all aspects of the day to day goings in wildlife photography whilst maintaining a refreshing level of authenticity. Keep it up!
Gerry giving this podcast has been a huge driving force behind my photography. I haven’t had the honour of photographing wildlife yet but it is my dream to do the Masai Mara river crossings with Gerry and Wild Eye.
