269: Theo Bosboom - Unique Nature Photos from the Netherlands

Creating unique nature photography is easier said than done. That's why I was excited for this week's podcast episode.  This week on the podcast, I was joined by none other than Theo Bosboom. Theo's nature photography is widely regarded as being some of the best coming out of the Netherlands and so it was a real honor to get him onto the podcast. Our conversation dives deep into Theo's history and path into photography and how he is able to create unique and visually-complex images.  On this week's episode, we also discuss: Theo's journey into photography as a former lawyer, How Theo approaches creating unique photographs, How Theo manages to raise two children as a full-time photographer, Why Theo has moved towards a preference for more intimate work, Theo's project submission in the Natural Landscape Photography Awards, And a lot more!
