315: Lizzie Shepherd - Re-finding Your Mojo in Landscape Photography

F-Stop Collaborate and Listen - A podcast by Matt Payne - Mondays

Categories:

It happens to the best of us - we lose our mojo in landscape photography and can't figure out how to find it again. Fortunately there is a simple cure for this... In this week's podcast episode, I had a fantastic time speaking with one of my favorite UK landscape photographers, Lizzie Shepherd. We eventually do discuss losing our mojo but we also talk about how this is actually not a bad thing. Our chat covers a lot of important ground and it was a true delight speaking with Lizzie about her approach to making images. I highly recommend this podcast. On this week's episode, we discuss: Lizzie's journey into photography. Going a long time without taking images and how to get back into it. Cross-country skiing in Norway. Why Scotland is one of Lizzie's favorite places to photograph. Our role as photographers in protecting and promoting nature. Using social media as a photographer. Approaches to teaching workshops. Intimate vs. grand scenic approaches to making images. And a lot more! If you enjoyed our chat, we did a whole bonus episode on Patreon about print sales in the UK and our approaches to open vs. limited edition prints.
