194: Kristen Ryan - Capturing the Magic of the Tetons / Women Retreats

Welcome to episode 194 of the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen podcast. 

This week on the podcast, I was happy to be joined by Kristen Ryan. 

Kristen Ryan is a mother of four children living in Chicago, Illinois. She has a healthy obsession with landscape photography and Grand Teton National Park. Kristen leads all-women landscape photography retreats in the Tetons, Chicago, Canada, and elsewhere. Kristen hosts an online forum for women landscape photographers that she calls Women Capture Magic. She's also a Nature First Ambassador. 

Kristen and I discuss some interesting topics this week, including:

• How she became obsessed with Landscape Photography and the Tetons,
• Her all-women landscape photography retreats,
• Her Women Capture Magic online forum,
• The challenges of being a mom to four children as a full-time photographer,
• Intimate Landscape Photography using a telephoto lens,
• And much, much more.

Over on Patreon this week, Kristen and I talk about tips and tricks to using neutral density filters for long exposures in landscape photography.

Here are the photographers that Kristen recommended on the podcast:

1. Paul Allen.

2. Leah Horstman.
