It's Not Too Late with travel photographer Marion Payr

Today, I’m very excited to bring you the conversation I had with the brilliant travel photographer, Marion Payr, aka @ladyvenom. With a love and passion for wildlife, Marion traveled to Kenya to learn how the pandemic has affected the tourism industry and conservation efforts at the beginning of this year. Marion is one of the co-founders of Prints for Wildlife, a print fundraiser that raised over $660,000 for conservation in 2020. This summer, returning to Kenya for another fundraiser, one of Marion’s main goals is to represent more female wildlife photographers. Based in Austria, Marion has partnered with brands like Nikon and luxury hotels to promote safari camps in Africa. Marion recently announced her new partnership with Mercedes-Benz Austria, where she is now the official She’s Mercedes Ambassador for the brand. Marion’s photography journey started on Instagram in 2011. As one of the early adopters of the social media platform, Marion was one of the first individuals in Austria to grow an audience, being named Austria’s travel blogging Instagram pioneer. In this episode, Marion discusses her beginnings and how she found her love for photography in the savannah in Africa. We also talk about looking forward to aging, prejudice at work, womxn who are not afraid to change and being the welder of your own happiness. Trust me. It’s going to make sense once you hear our conversation. I’ve been a fan of Marion, her work, and her philosophy for a while and I can’t wait to share our conversation with you!
