Our guest for this edition of the podcast is British travel photographer Matt Widgery.

Besides being a good sport and someone who’s always fun to be around, Matt has a lot of interesting stories to share, starting with the way photography saved him from an alcohol addiction, as he says in his about page:

“Photography basically saved my life. I had a long addiction to alcohol and it nearly destroyed me. But I don’t say this to get sympathy. Today I get to travel all over the world, shooting and teaching in some of the best locations on Earth. I shot in 16 countries last year! My life is beyond amazing and I am so thankful that I was able to discover my passion and use it to create the life I always wanted. The only way I know how to express this gratitude is to pay it forward. Teaching others the skills that gave me this incredible life is such a privilege.”

We also talked with Matt about the country he recently discovered and started loving so much, Greece. If you ever intended to travel and photograph there, check out his Workshops page.
