322: Michael Blanchette - Including the Hand of Man in Our Landscape Photographs


Listen Later

Including man-made objects in our landscape photographs is sometimes quite challenging! I personally find it to be one of the hardest things to do well in this genre of photography; however, today's guest on my podcast, Michael Blanchette, has mastered it. 

On this week's episode, we discuss:

  • How Michael transitioned from his career in software engineering to landscape photography.
  • Michael's proclivity for including "the hand of man" in his landscape photographs.
  • Michael's approach for including man-made objects in his photographs.
  • What Michael loves most about landscape photography.
  • Michael's approaches to planning his photography shoots.
  • The tools that Michael uses to maximize his success as a photographer.
  • The pros and cons of social media and how it has changed over the years for Michael.
  • Michael's thoughts on compositing.
  • And a lot more!
