256: Francesco Carovillano - Trying to Fail Better at Photography

Welcome to episode 256 of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen!

This week on the podcast, I was joined by a travel, landscape, and stock photographer from Italy, now residing in France, Francesco Carovillano.

Francesco and I had a wonderful conversation about his journey and some revelations he has made while pursuing multiple careers in the arts.

On this week's episode we discuss:

• Francesco's transition from 3D computer graphics to travel photography and now landscape photography,
• How his work as an animator has influenced his work as a photographer,
• Stories and lessons learned about his work on a stock photography project in New York City,
• How he has found success in the stock photography market,
• And a lot more!
