243: Murray Livingston - Creativity and Experience-driven Landscape Photography

Welcome to episode 243 of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen! This week on the podcast I was joined by Murray Livingston - a South African landscape photographer and freelance architect who actively practices a contemplative style of photography while living out of his off-grid van. On this week's episode we discuss: How Murray's study of architecture has influenced his approach to landscape photography, How Murray plan to continue to push his photography into a full-time pursuit, The roles that landscape photography and being in nature have in his life, The creative process, Experience-driven vs. outcome-driven landscape photography And a lot more! Over on Patreon this week, we recorded a bonus episode for people that are kind enough to financially support the show over there. Murray and I discuss how landscape photography is a form of thought. Here's who Murray recommended for the podcast this week: Mike Boden. Adrian Dziewanski. Brendon Holt. Andrew Baruffi. Jassen Todorov. Other items mentioned on the show: 1.
