230: James Lane - Processing Emotion Through Landscape Photography

Welcome to episode 230 of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen! This week on the podcast I was joined by James Lane, a landscape photographer and physics teacher living in Wakefield in the United Kingdom. James is the kind of photographer I deeply admire - he focuses on local subjects and has a keen eye for incredibly personal and emotionally impactful intimate work that is jaw dropping. I highly encourage you to take a look at his work as we dive into the conversation so you can get a sense for what we will be discussing today. We discuss: Using emotion to fuel our creative process, Themes of personal darkness and using photography to process them, The risks and benefits to moving to new places, James' approach to editing, The impact of increased visitation in the United Kingdom, The benefits of printing your work, And a lot more! Over on Patreon this week, James and I provide our tips and tricks to printing our work, something we are both quite into these days.
