Episode 1: Welcome to the very first episode of the Outdoor Photography Podcast! Today, I sit down with Colorado-based landscape photographer, Matt Payne, to chat about:
- How mindset and the psychology of competition can impact the creative process
- How social media and advanced post-processing techniques have influenced the public’s perception of the natural world and of photography as an artform
- How to balance self-expression and creativity with maintaining the integrity or reality of a scene being photographed
- The importance of putting nature first in outdoor photography
- And so much more!
