Outdoor Adventure Lifestyle Podcast

Today on episode 465 I’m talking with Sergio Ballivian. For over 40 years, Sergio has pursued his passion for adventure, always with a camera in hand. Sergio Photo Tours was born from those experiences—a desire to share the unique moments he’s witnessed and to guide others in capturing the beauty and essence of those untamed places. Sergio says . . . “this isn’t just about taking photos; it’s about experiencing the world from a different perspective.”

Show Notes

What if you could capture the beauty of untamed landscapes while also building a career that pays for your adventures?

This episode shows how Sergio didn't start with fancy equipment or a studio full of clients. He began his journey with a high school adventure in Bolivia, an old truck, and a camera he bought from a friend. Sound familiar? Whether you’re shooting mountain landscapes or capturing wildlife, Sergio’s story shows how the right mix of grit, passion, and strategic planning can take you from “weekend warrior” to outdoor industry pro.

By tuning in, you’ll discover key lessons from Sergio’s journey to help you grow your outdoor career:

1. 1. Start small, but stay consistent: Sergio began with a pocket camera, snapping photos of the landscapes he loved. Keep your gear simple and focus on mastering the basics.
   2. Network with purpose: Sergio’s career grew because he knew the power of connections. Build relationships with others in the outdoor world, but be authentic—people can spot a phony from a mile away.
   3. Monetize your skills over time: He didn’t sell his first photo overnight. By refining his craft and eventually offering photography workshops, Sergio built his career piece by piece.

Don’t miss out—hit play now to uncover the secrets to blending your love of the outdoors with filmmaking!
