Ep 243 - Mick Fortier – Healing Through Landscape & Aerial Imagery
Episode 243
Tuesday, 24 March, 2026
Mick Fortier is a Newcastle-based landscape and aerial photographer whose work is driven by a deep personal connection to both creativity and healing. A licensed drone pilot accredited by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), Mick creates striking aerial imagery that reveals familiar environments from powerful new perspectives. His photography spans landscapes, marine life, storms, and astrophotography, reflecting a desire to continually explore and stay creatively engaged. Photography became especially meaningful following Mick’s eight-year policing career, which ended after he experienced PTSD. Returning to the camera provided a therapeutic outlet, helping him reconnect with himself and the natural world. Early inspiration from his father’s darkroom and the iconic Australian landscape work of Ken Duncan shaped his artistic direction and appreciation for the emotional impact of imagery. Mick further developed his skills while studying photography at NSW TAFE, where mentorship and formal training refined his editing workflow and creative process. Drone photography became a defining part of his work, allowing him to capture dynamic coastal environments and dramatic ocean scenes that are otherwise inaccessible. In this episode, Mick Fortier shares how photography supported his recovery, the lessons learned from challenging field experiences, and his perspective on authenticity in editing. He also discusses selling fine art prints through local gallery partnerships and why photography continues to play a vital role in his wellbeing and creative identity. I hope you enjoy the show!
