The Backcountry Podcast

Ep. 9 | Behind The Lens With Rachael Galipo

Backcountry

We invited Rachael Galipo on the show to talk about her extensive experience in outdoor photography, and her budding freelance career. Rachael is impressively multi-talented in her field, working in both pursuit and studio photography as well as producing and directing.  

Rachael and Nils connect on van life, her camera of choice, and team dynamics over the course of a photo shoot. Rachael brings a unique perspective to outdoor photography thanks to her experience in wilderness therapy. You don’t want to miss this one!
