Listen Later

Welcome to episode 224 of the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen podcast!

This week on the podcast I was joined by Chris Murray, a professional full-time nature photographer living in Syracuse, New York. Chris' photography predominately features the the woods, lakes, mountains, and streams of New York State. Chris is a geologist by training and his lens is typically focused on quiet scenes of nature in his own backyard.

Chris and I discuss a variety of topics this week, including:

  • The connection between the study of natural sciences and nature photography.
  • The role that the history of our artform has on his work.
  • Copying other photographers work.
  • The difficulties of being a full-time artist.
  • And a lot more.
  • Here are the individuals that Chris recommended on the podcast:

    1. Thomas Fleckenstein.
  • Jaume Llorens.
  • Nader Daii.
  • Matt Oliver.
  • Mark Bowie.
  • Other items mentioned on the show:

    1. Natural Landscape Photography Awards.
