172: Elisabeth Brentano - Wanderlust in the American West

1 hour 37 minutes

Welcome to episode 172 of the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen podcast.

This week's episode features a photographer and videographer who has found a niche in combining her passions for story telling, writing, and photography to make a living in the landscape photography arena.

Elisabeth Brentano started her career in the entertainment news space and transitioned to writing blogs for travel and food. It was in that space that she fell in love with photography. She is also very passionate about conservation issues and created a wonderful documentary film, called "In the Shadow of Lions" where she examines the balance between social media, conservation, and tourism as it relates to big cats in Africa.

Elisabeth and I discuss some interesting topics, including:

How she found herself in the landscape photography space.

How her editing style has evolved over time.

The impacts of social media on creativity and relationship building.

Her documentary film, "In the Shadow of Lions."

... and more!
