    Gerry’s the best!
    I listen to Gerry in my helmet headset while guiding ATV tours in Alaska and while I’m driving to different locations while doing my own wildlife photography. Gerry’s the best! He’s taught me so much about how to improve my own work and how to think about life and the world! Thanks Gerry!

    Brilliant podcast!
    This podcast is awesome. Informative without being overly technical. Inspiring without being pretentious. Gerry is clearly someone that has spent many many years not only perfecting the technical aspects of wildlife photography, but engaging his clients and viewers in what he does. At the core, he makes it all about the experience. Of all the content available to you on the internet, Gerry is about as personable and engaging as you get.
  • Love this app so far!

    Fantastic teaching tool & confidence builder.
    I’ve been listening to these podcasts from the beginning, they’re a fantastic teaching tool & confidence builder. I had been engaging with Gerry & the Wild Eye guides for 3 years, before the stars aligned I went on a photo safari last year, I’ll be back. They’re extremely helpful & generous with time & information which is invaluable. I luv this company.

    Love the show
    Super inspirational and entertaining. I’m getting little nuggets of wisdom that I haven’t heard anywhere else. Real world common sense advice with even realizing you’re learning. Plus his pace and energy are never boring.

    Spot on : Kenya
    I started listening to the podcasts when we planned a multigenerational trip to Kenya. I listen while I walk 2 Huskies. I also follow on Instagram. Thank you, Thank you for all your wonderful tips and intro into the culture in the Maasai Mara. After we entered the gate to the Mara last week one of your vehicles was going the other direction. Our guides spoke: Jambo. I got so excited to see your vehicle that my crew teased me about it. Super fun. Can’t wait to go back, maybe just with husband next time for wild eye safari. Thank you for all you do to help educate us about the animals and how to capture them by camera.

    A thoroughly enjoyable podcast
    I really enjoy listening to Gerry and his insights and discussions on wildlife photography, guiding, ethics and his interviews with the people he works with. His every 10 episode Q&A are very informative as well. I always look forward to the next episode.

    This is an amazing podcast for wildlife photographers
    I’ve listened to the first 70 podcasts over the past 2 weeks. It’s fantastic. If you are like me - an enthusiastic amateur wildlife photographer - you’ve found your podcast. My wife and I are currently planning a self-drive trip to Kruger later this year, and this has been perfect to get a feel of what to expect. I really enjoy listening to Gerry, enjoying learning from his experience, and sincerely hope I get to join him on one of his photography safaris in the future. Until then, I’m just glad I’ve got at least 100 more episodes to listen too.

    Thank you!
    Gerry, thank you bro. Buahahah I'm at work and I did an absolute Spit Take with my coffee all over the desk off of Episode 67! LOL I'm with ya brother. I'm so sick of the words "Brand Amabasador". I've sponsored myself around the world twice. Indonesia/Europe/New Zealand on and on and I've never asked for a dime. Your quick wit, suprise use of a couple 4 letter words always throw me and I deem them as important as spot removal and croping a shot, it's necessary. Listen mate, I've been aroud the world of Professional Surfing my entire life and I've seen pro ho's come and go and they're all the same. About the same talent as the next guy and all struggling to call it their profession! And blame Patagonia for the Ambassador title. It started as their way of roping in retireies like Gerry Lopez while he snowboards in Oregon!. (Respect Ger, just saying) I will subscribe and follow, can't wait to go home light up a change of attitude and crack up! Sill Learning

    Best Real-World Photography Podcast Going
    Gerry doesn't mess around. This podcast covers real-world shooting scenarios and practical advice for those who actually get out and USE their gear! Always entertaining...makes me want to travel w/ Wild-Eye someday!
  • Mrct287
    Energy and Passion unmatched
    Fun podcast to listen to if you ever had thoughts of going on a photographic safari in Africa or just love cameras. Gerry's energy and passion is unmatched by most. His knowledge of photography and African wildlife is shared intensely with the listeners. Some times his passions sparks raw emotions and that is how you know this is not a stuffy rehearsed podcast. Give Gerry a listen to and I think you will want to go to Africa and join him.

    Great way to listen and learn
    I traveled with Gerry in Svalbard June 2017 and I learned so much about photography. I listen to all his podcasts to further my education. They are always full of great information. He is quite entertaining to listen to at the same time! Go Gerry! @toriebohn
