  • Thoughtful & Substantive Podcast

    Just a note to say how much I enjoy this podcast. The recent interview with Garret Hess resonated with me, as I’m in Missouri and often think about not having the vistas readily available like those out west. I’m hoping to get to the Smokies this year for a recharge. His views and your interview really helped me. I look forward to the podcast each week. I am a college president professionally, but an avid photographer away from the office, so to speak. This podcast is a weekly boost, inspiration... more

  • Essential listening

    I’m a long term listener of the f-stop podcast and consider it as essential listening to keep me up to date with the people and challenges facing the landscape photography world. I enjoy the conversations, and appreciate the breadth of guests (both geographically and genre). I always learn something from every episode and get some nuggets that I can employ in my own photography and business. Keep up the great work Matt!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Photography Can Still Do | Marc Asnin
Q: What inspired the shift from Uncle Charlie to Final Words and Act One?
The shift came from a desire to expand storytelling beyond a single voice, to explore language, collaboration, and the power of presenting work within scholarly and historical contexts, while still bearing witness through photography.
Artful Aerial Photography & Mining Truth | Scott McCook
Q: What responsibilities do photographers have when documenting such impactful industries?
We should educate ourselves about the subject, photograph safely and respectfully, present information neutrally where possible, and use imagery to spark dialogue and accountability.
Artful Aerial Photography & Mining Truth | Scott McCook
Q: How do you balance art and activism in your WA mining and coastal photography?
I aim for a balance where the images draw people in with beauty or intrigue but also invite them to research the context and consequences, so the work can educate as well as inspire.
Making Extraordinary Photographs in Ordinary Places | Garrett Hess
Q: What makes a long-term project more valuable than collecting standalone images?
Long-term projects keep you engaged, help you develop a consistent voice, build depth, and provide a framework for learning and growth that individual images alone cannot offer.
Making Extraordinary Photographs in Ordinary Places | Garrett Hess
Q: How has colorblindness influenced your editing and final images?
Colorblindness has pushed me to prioritize light, shape, and tonal relationships over color, which has helped me create a cohesive look that reads well even if the colors aren't 'true' to a non-colorblind viewer.
