Wednesday Jul 29, 2020
Welcome to episode 171 of the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen podcast.
This week's episode features a photographer who probably does not need much introduction as he is widely considered one of the most accomplished modern landscape and nature photographers. William Neill got his roots and upbringing in landscape photography while living in the Yosemite Valley and working in Ansel Adams' gallery beginning in 1980 and began writing columns for Outdoor Photographer Magazine in 1986. Suffice to say, he has a lifetime's worth of incredible photographic product and has a wealth of knowledge and perspective, which we attempted to tap into on the podcast. William and I discuss some interesting topics, including:
How he got his beginning in photography and writing for Outdoor Photographer Magazine.
What it was like learning from the greats in landscape photography like Ansel Adams.
Various media formats to consume and learn about landscape photography such as OnLandscape, NPN, and LensWork.
William's secret for staying creative over many years in this field.
His new book, Light on the Landscape.
... and more!
Over on Patreon this week, William shares his advice on how to best grow as a photographer and we discuss his approach to portfolio development.
I hope you enjoy our conversations!

Welcome to episode 169 of the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen podcast.
This week's episode features a landscape photographer living in the highlands of Scotland.
Margaret Soraya is immensely talented and focused on harnessing the power of solitude to produce stunning work in nature’s quiet places. She has a wonderful body of images showcasing these quiet places and her soothing photography of ocean waves evokes mystery and wonder.
Margaret spends a great deal of time photographing on the various islands of Scotland, often alone, and draws power from the solitude found there. Margaret and I discuss some interesting topics, including:
Her solo travels in her van.
Mindfulness in landscape photography.
Introversion in landscape photography.
The healing power of solitude and how it promotes creativity.

Todd Caudle - A Passion for Colorado Through Landscape Photography
Wednesday Jul 01, 2020
Wednesday Jul 01, 2020
Welcome to episode 167 of the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen podcast.
This week's episode features a photographer I have been following for many, many years and have had many interactions with on social media over the years. Todd Caudle is perhaps one of the most well-known landscape photographers in Colorado and is the owner of his own publishing company, Skyline Press, a vehicle that Todd uses to publish photography calendars, books, and note cards (and I'm confident if you were looking for someone to help you do the same that Todd would help you out).
Todd is an award-winning photographer who has explored countless miles of trails and backroads, primarily in our beloved home state of Colorado, seeking landscapes as they are experiencing their most fleeting moments. Rarely content to photograph a static landscape, he is always in pursuit of those dynamic events as weather ebbs and flows, as nighttime turns to day and back again, and as seasons change. His propensity for capturing dramatic climatic events led one close friend and fellow photographer to dub him Cloudman, and the nickname stuck.
Todd and I discuss some interesting topics, including:
How Todd got his start as a photographer.
What it was like to photograph super-star musicians.
How he transitioned into landscape photography.
How he got into the publishing business.
What encourages and discourages him about the current state of photography.
Mountain stretching in post-processing.
Lessons learned from Todd's critique of my work back in 2012.
... and more!
If you enjoyed our chat, you can join us for more on Patreon while supporting the show - we discuss what makes a great or compelling photograph.
I hope you enjoy our conversations!
