Guy Tal brings a deep and contemplative approach to landscape photography, shaped by decades of creative exploration and a profound relationship with the high deserts of the Colorado Plateau. In this episode, he reflects on his belief that photography is a medium for self-expression rather than mere documentation. He discusses how his images serve as visual metaphors—echoes of thoughts, feelings, and his personal connection to wild places.

Guy talks about his evolution as an artist and writer, the value of solitude, and how living simply allows him to pursue a meaningful life rooted in creativity. He shares thoughts on navigating technology’s influence on art, the importance of creative risk-taking, and how to overcome periods of stagnation. With over 40 years of experience, his perspective offers insight not only into photography but also into how one might align their livelihood with deeper personal values.

This episode invites listeners to rethink the purpose of their creative work and the role of landscape photography as an emotional and philosophical practice.

I hope you enjoy the show!
