208: Krista McCuish - Discovering the Finer Details in Nature

Welcome to episode 208 of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen! This week I was joined by a photographer from Halifax, Nova Scotia - Krista McCuish. Krista has lived a life filled with a variety of interests, jobs and curiosities which she has leveraged and turned inwards into the creation of some very personally expressive photographs of intimate subjects very close to home. Krista has an innate ability to bring her experiences as an attentive observer of nature into the creation of some really wonderful nature photography. Krista and I covered a lot of ground on the show this week, including: How Krista's backgrounds and interests inform her creative process. Krista's home studio which is filled with natural curiosities. How Krista's approach to photographing close to home has inspired her to create her photographs. How and why Krista shows a sense of mystery and wonder through her images. And lots more! Over on Patreon this week, Krista answers the question, "do we always need to be highly productive and have a presence on social media to feel accomplished?" Be sure to scroll down to see all of Krista's amazing photographs! Here's who Krista recommended for the podcast this week: Pete Hyde. Kathleen Pickard. Chris Murray. Robin Hudson.
