173: David Brookover - Using Landscape Photography to Understand Culture

Welcome to episode 173 of the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen podcast.

 

This week's episode features a photographer who has owned their own gallery in Jackson Hole, Wyoming since 2001 - David Brookover.

 

David's gallery is filled with custom-framed platinum palladium prints from his extensive travels throughout the world as a fine art landscape photographer. David got his start as a photographer while studying acupuncture in Japan back in 1986, where he was immersed in the Japanese culture which had a significant influence on his work as a photographer.

David and I discuss some interesting topics, including:

• How David used photography as a way to understand a new place and culture,
• Transitioning from a full-time job to full-time photography,
• Platinum Palladium printing and his print-making process,
• The secret to longevity in the craft of landscape photography
• ... and more!
