Josh Galicki is your go-to wildlife photographer if you believe muddy boots, a kayak, and a float blind are essential kit—not just marketing props. He's known for environmental portraits that show birds as part of the real world, not generic close-ups cropped to erase all signs of humanity. Josh prefers his Chesapeake Bay sunsets seasoned with herons, gannets, and the occasional power line he refuses to edit out. As co-host of the Wildlife Photography Podcast, Josh brings straight-talking advice, tackling everything from gear debates to the actual stories behind photos. Behind the scenes, he judges for OneEyeland awards WildArt POTY, BirdLife Australia Awards, and PhotoCrowd—and he's candid about how seeing thousands of submissions sharpens your own eye faster than any workshop ever could. He travels hard from the Falklands to Shetland, , has a knack for conservation images that spark actual conversations—not just likes—and keeps things grounded. If you ever catch him by a saltmarsh, expect strong coffee and honest advice about patience, context, and leaving the "messy bits" in. Because that's real wildlife photography.
