Alister Benn - Expressive Landscape Photography

Welcome to Episode 126 of the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen podcast. This week's episode features one of my favorite photographers hailing from Scotland- Alister Benn.  Alister has been teaching landscape photography since 2009. Alister has a refreshing approach and a questioning mind that has formed the foundation of his new photography company, Expressive Photography. Alister is pushing back against the same old teaching approaches used for decades. Alister and I covered a lot of fun ground this week, including: His journey as a landscape photographer. His new company, Expressive Photography. His upcoming partnerships with Alex Noriega, Hans Strand, Ryan Dyar, and Adam Gibbs (to name a few). Established workshop teaching techniques and how they might inhibit creativity. Homogenization in landscape photography. Reconnecting with the landscape - Why are you there? His YouTube Channel.  ...lots more!   Please see the blog at www.mattpaynephotography.com for the full liner notes!
