288: Martin Gonzalez - Discovering the Little Surprises in Nature


Listen Later

Small scenes in nature photography are like finding little surprises to explore visually with the camera. They can lead to an enriching relationship with nature and photography and expand a photographer's appreciation for light, subjects, and field craft.

This week on Episode 288 of the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen podcast, I had a wonderful conversation with L.A. based photographer Martin Gonzalez. We discussed his attraction to smaller scenes, why he makes photos, how he balances his f/t job with photography, anxiety in photography, and so much more, so have some coffee, tea, or beer, and enjoy the chat.

On this week's episode, we discuss:

  • Martin's journey into nature photography,
  • How Martin finds balance with his full-time job and photography,
  • Why Martin thinks he will stay away from full-time photography,
  • Anxiety and nature photography,
  • Martin's diagnosis of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome and its impact on his photography,
  • And a lot more!
  • Other topics/links discussed on the podcast this week:

    • Support the podcast on Patreon.
  • The impact of making fine art photos and memory.
