How our interests in life inspire our photographic journey is an important ingredient that helps forge who we are as photographers. As such, I had an awesome time talking with these week's guest on episode 267 of the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen podcast about how he mixes his study of science with his passion for photography.

I was joined by a photographer and astrophysicist living at the South Pole - Aman Chokshi.

We also had a great co-host his week, Rajesh Jyothiswaran, who helped to set-up this conversation, which was not easy considering the logistics of internet access at the South Pole! Thanks Rajesh!

On this week's episode, we also discuss:

• Aman's journey into photography,
• Travelling across India on a bicycle,
• Photographing Ladakh,
• Mixing astrophysics and photography,
• Aman's homemade star tracker,
• What it's like being a photographer at the South Pole,
• What is of interest as a photographer at the South Pole,
• And a lot more!

Other topics discussed on the podcast this week:

• Murchison Widefield Array.
• Join Nature Photographer's Network.
• Support the podcast on Patreon.

Here is who Aman recommended on the podcast this week:

• Vibhu Groverr.
