014 Glynn Lavender, Crazy Travel Tales – BLACKRAPID Podcast
Australian travel portrait photographer Glynn Lavender joins the show to share his wild adventures leading photo tours in India, Bangladesh, and beyond. From dodging elephants and driving through fire on detours, to getting a gun held to his head in a Delhi mosque (and still getting the shot), Glynn’s stories are equal parts thrilling and hilarious.
He opens up about facilitating life-changing experiences for keen amateurs on his workshops—handling loose itineraries in chaotic places, approaching strangers for authentic portraits, and why connection beats perfection.
Glynn also explains how BLACKRAPID straps keep him shooting pain-free after 35+ years, his pragmatic gear choices (Tamron lenses, two cameras always ready), and timeless advice: don’t pre-visualize—go with the flow and capture what’s in front of you.
A must-listen for photographers, travelers, and anyone who loves real, human stories from off-the-beaten-path places.
