One of my favorite things to do every December is to set aside time to look through all of the photographs that I’ve made in the previous 12 months. I’m often surprised at the insights that I have while reflecting upon the places that I’ve gone, the experiences that I’ve had, and how I chose to document them.
I’ve always wanted to explore the surreal landscapes of Australia so when Darran Leal of World Photo Adventures asked me to join their photographic tour to the Kimberly region and Lake Eyre in May 2023, it was an offer I couldn’t possibly refuse!
I recently had the opportunity to have a conversation with International Award Winning landscape photographer Christian Fletcher and Carwyn about personal projects, photography, an my most recent project: SpringBoard. You can listen to the podcast here, be sure to check out Christian’s photography here, and follow their adventures on Instagram @christianfletcher_gallery and @CarwynPhoto. Enjoy!
A few years ago, I had the opportunity to spend ten days “getting lost” in Iceland. While I’ve long since posted the images to my instagram account (@jkost) and have used them to demonstrate various post processing techniques in Lightroom and Photoshop, I completely forgot that I had also wanted to share my travels as a Spark Page.

It’s so easy to fill our time with work and other responsibilities, but I still try to work personal photo projects into my life as a way to stay creative, explore new technologies, and expand my vision. So, when I recently had the opportunity to make a quick drive from Virgina to California, I wanted to be sure to make good use of the time. Although we didn’t have time to make a lot of stops, I figured that I could at least take a few photographs along the way. Here are a few of my favorite images taken during the week.
I recently had the opportunity to spend a few moments speaking with Christian Fletcher and Carwin about photography, inspiration, and how a framework can help move a project forward. You can listen to the podcast here…
I recently had the opportunity to spend a few days in Death Valley and thought that I would share 10 quick tips that I was reminded of while I was making photographs.
On my last trip to Iceland, I was fortunate to hire a small aircraft to fly over some truly unique and stunning landscapes. Some of you may know that I’m afraid to fly, but for whatever reason, putting the camera between me and the ground below, enables me to become an observer, an not a participant, and somehow that works for me.
I recently had the opportunity to talk with Ibarionex Perello, photographer, writer, educator, host and producer of The Candid Frame Photography podcast. We had a lovely discussion about photographing with intent, the balancing act between the technical and creative side photography, psychology and problem solving, pushing through your fears, and how to incorporate photographic projects into your daily life and see them to fruition.
I had the opportunity to catch up with Fredrick Van Johnson on This Week In Photo. Click here to view our discussion about the importance of color, technology and personal projects.
I’m excited to have my work featured in Create! Magazine including a “how-to” video tutorial.
