Eric Bennett - Using Landscape Photography for Good
Tuesday Jan 30, 2018
Tuesday Jan 30, 2018
Episode 041 of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen with Utah-based landscape photographer Eric Bennett! I've been a huge fan of Eric's photography for quite a long time! Eric also might be one of the funniest guys I've ever chatted with online - his sense of humor is incredible, and I think it translated nicely onto the podcast format. Eric has been recommended to be on the podcast by many photographers and I think if you've never seen his work before, you should go take a look immediately - it is world class!
Eric and I covered some great topics this week, including:
How Eric got into Landscape Photography
How photography can help preserve our wilderness
Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument
Becoming a full-time professional photographer and the concept that money is the result of the cause and not the cause of the result
Backpacking
The pros and cons of travelling for long amounts of time as a photographer
Collaboration vs. competition

Episode 040 of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen with England-based landscape photographer Alex Nail! I've been a huge fan of Alex's photography for quite a long time! Alex is also a mountain guy and takes images from hard to reach places that are absolutely inspiring. I first stumbled onto Alex's work when I was a guest editor over on 500px and immediately made one of his photos an editor's choice! Alex is one of the most down-to-earth artists I've spoken to and just oozes authenticity. We had such a great conversation (one of my favorites).

How Alex got into Landscape Photography
Photographing hard to reach places
Time-lapse photography
