Catching Up with Travel Photographer Marion Payr

In today’s episode, we catch up with Marion Payr, an incredible travel photographer based in Austria, as part of our first-anniversary celebration of the podcast. Marion was a guest on Season 3, where we discussed why it’s never too late to pursue your passions and much more. At the center of Marion’s work stands a dedication to the art of traveling, which she believes holds the power to unite us globally and act as a driving force for cultural understanding and conservation. She also has a passion for wildlife and, in January 2021, she traveled to Kenya to learn how COVID-19 has affected the tourism industry and conservation efforts. Marion is also a co-founder of Prints for Wildlife, a print fundraiser that raised more than one million dollars for conservation in 2020 and 2021. We explored many different topics in our conversation today, from creating visibility for your work to the impending ‘metaverse’ and expansion of artificial intelligence into photography. Marion also shares a simple exercise that helps her gain perspective on the past and prepare for the future. We cover all this and more, plus I share a secret project I’m working on for Genius Womxn coming up in 2022. Tune in to hear more!
