Australian artist Tania Malkin takes photos of inhabitable places from the plane
ITAS Podcast Season 8, Ep.5
Photographer from Australia Tania Malkin spends most of what she makes at her day job to hire a plane and travel to inhabitable places only to take pictures from thousands of miles above the earth. And if you think that this is too much, I’ve got a surprise for you – this is only a tiny part of what goes into making this kind of photography!
Listen to Tania explain her entire process in this episode!
About Tania Malkin
I am an Artist and a Photographer, living in the north of Western Australia and the Northern Territory. I have studied Art and Design with a major in Fine Art, as well as Education and Law.
I always wanted to be a photographer and when I was young I used to collect
postcards while on our family holidays. I love landscapes and I love the impressionists’ artwork. I got my First Camera when I was 7, an old 35mm SLR Agfa with a 50mm lens. I took it everywhere. The transition from film to digital occurred for me in 2005 and I really enjoy digital, but I still use film occasionally.
I took my first aerial flight in 2003, where I chartered a tiger moth vintage plane, as it was not easy back then to find door off charters and this was the best aircraft I could find to allow me to photograph unobstructed. I loved it and became obsessed with Aerial Landscapes.
Currently working as a Photographer passionate about aerial Landscapes, conservation, and Indigenous Culture in Australia. I also work as a Visual Artist in the mediums of Painting (mixed media) and Ceramic sculpture.
