In the latest episode of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen, host Matt Payne explores the transformative journey of Brad Carr, a landscape photographer whose past trauma fuels his artistic passion. Brad and his family fled the busy cityscape of Portsmouth to escape a dangerous stepfather, finding solace in the tranquil town of Welshpool in Mid Wales. This move marked the beginning of Brad’s intimate relationship with nature—a therapeutic bond that began to form during the lockdowns of 2020. The picturesque countryside of Welshpool, with its sprawling landscapes and ancient woodlands, became both Brad's sanctuary and creative muse, setting the stage for a profound journey of self-discovery and emotional healing.
