Laura Zirino, a dedicated landscape photographer, shares how early retirement led to a profound personal and creative transformation. Moving to the American Southwest allowed her to simplify life and fully embrace photography, a decision that brought unexpected joy and artistic fulfillment.
As a contributor to Arizona Highways and with features in Outdoor Photographer, Shutterbug, and National Geographic’s website, Laura discusses the moments that rekindled her passion for photography. She reflects on the deep emotional and spiritual connection she forms with the landscapes she captures, emphasizing the responsibility of respecting indigenous lands and using photography as a tool for conservation.
Laura also shares insights into her creative process, her approach to composition and storytelling, and the importance of staying open to inspiration in unexpected places. Through her work, she hopes to preserve natural beauty and encourage others to see landscapes with fresh eyes.
I hope you enjoy the show.
