Trailer – Lens and Life with Pete George

Lens and Life with Pete George is a podcast about perspective.

Not just the photographs we take…

but the life that teaches us how to see.

This show comes from experience — mistakes, reinvention, hard lessons, and the moments that quietly change how we look at the world.

In this short trailer, Pete shares why the podcast exists, where the journey began, and what these conversations will explore.

If you’ve ever felt like life sped up without asking you… this is a place to slow down and think again.

Shoot with purpose. Share with heart.

About the Podcast

Lens and Life

For years I went through the motions — shooting, editing, posting — but not really seeing. Somewhere along the way, photography stopped being about pictures and became about presence. Some of my clearest thinking came from places like Bali, where life slows down just enough to remind you what actually matters. Lens and Life is a podcast about perspective. Hosted by Australian storyteller and photographer Pete George, each episode explores the people, places, conversations, observations, and experiences that shape how we see the world. From travel and culture to creativity, everyday life, and the lessons hidden in ordinary moments, Lens and Life is about noticing what others walk past. Some episodes are personal reflections. Some are conversations with interesting people. Others begin with a simple observation and lead somewhere unexpected. If you've ever felt life moving too fast, this is an invitation to slow down, look closer, and see with purpose. Breath. Intent. Timing. A photographer's discipline, tuned to life.

About your host

Pete George

Pete George is an Australian storyteller, photographer, and host whose work is built on one simple belief: the world becomes more meaningful when we learn to see with purpose.

Over four decades, Pete has worked across newspapers, sport, weddings, travel, and documentary-style storytelling, creating thousands of images and sharing stories from Australia and beyond. His camera has taken him from city streets and sporting arenas to remote villages, cultural celebrations, and the everyday moments most people walk past without noticing.

But Lens and Life is not about photography.

It's about perspective.

Through conversations, observations, travel, culture, creativity, and the lessons hidden in ordinary life, Pete explores what it means to live with curiosity and intention in a world that rarely slows down. Drawing on a lifetime of experience, he brings a thoughtful and often unexpected perspective to the people, places, and moments that shape us.

Based on Australia's Gold Coast and a regular traveller to Bali, Pete continues to search for stories worth sharing—not because they are extraordinary, but because they remind us what it means to be human.
