Wild Gina: The World’s Top Selling Black Woman Nature Photographer Unpacks Her Ancestral Connections While Urging A More Intentional Connection To Art and Earth


Season 1 | Episode 4

What happens when the world’s top-selling Black woman nature photographer steps behind the lens? SUBLIMENESS! In this episode, we venture into the breathtaking world of Wild Gina, an intimate landscape photographer whose work isn’t just art—it’s a time capsule for the planet.

Gina takes us on a tour on how she got into nature photography, the deeply rooted ancestral connections guiding her work, and the real talk on being a Black woman in a space that too often overlooks voices like hers. We explore one of her powerful mutual aid initiatives, 'Gift a Black Person a Print,' a visionary program where white folks (often allies) sponsor artwork for Black individuals, fostering connection, representation, and community through art.

From lush forests to the raw beauty of fallow lands, we’re sharing a perspective on sustainability from the lens of Black artistry —rooted in ancestral wisdom, lived experience, and the images that literally keeps our world’s story alive. This isn’t just photography—it’s an reawakening of how we see nature, history, and ourselves.

Brace yourself—once you see the world through Gina’s lens, there’s no going back.
