Alister Benn lives on the West Coast of Scotland and founded Expressive Photography.  He started his career as a traditional landscape photographer, but over the last 15 years has transitioned to become an inspirational photographer and enthusiastic instructor.

He describes this transition as an epiphany and a life changing event and attributes his time in the Gobi desert to being the catalyst. It is fascinating to hear him tell us how this came about and how it influences his work today.

His passion is for individual creativity and expression and firmly believes we are all unique. Finding your passion is key,  He states creativity is difficult to teach - rather it is not predicable, but an exciting adventure!

Interestingly, he talks about the challenges of balancing creativity with running a business.  We have recently been propelled to working more on an online platform.  Listen to Alister's views on how social media affects us.   

Learn about Alister's concept of 5 triggers of engagement - luminosity, contrasts,  geometry, colour and atmosphere - truly a podcast not to be missed! He finds joy in all landscapes and advocates going in with no expectations and nature will not disappoint.
