In the past, I harbored resentment towards people not close to me due to my insecurities. However, I am currently working on improving myself — Johnny (2023)

In this episode, we have an engaging interview with Jonathan Middleton, a passionate art enthusiast, naturalist, and wildlife photographer with over five years of experience in the field. Jonathan takes us through his journey as a nature and wildlife photographer, from starting out with just a phone and lacking direction to now working on independent projects with a camera.
