  • 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!

  • Jason Bradley Episode

    As an avid listener to Matt’s podcasts.

    I especially enjoyed his latest with Jason. Bradley.

    As a photographer for over 40 years, I appreciated Jason’s perspective on the art. Matt and Jason worked seamlessly to bring opinion and knowledge to the listeners.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
Making Extraordinary Photographs in Ordinary Places | Garrett Hess
Q: What did you realize about your local environment that changed how you approach photography?
I realized that by accepting where I live and focusing on local subjects and microclimates, I could build a sustainable practice, improve my craft, and still produce impactful work without needing to travel constantly.
Photographing the Magic of Sápmi | Hanneke Van Camp
Q: What role does printing and book design play in her practice?
Printing is essential for sequencing and storytelling; collaborating with a book designer improved perspective, helped select and order images, and created a physical artifact that complements on-screen work.
Photographing the Magic of Sápmi | Hanneke Van Camp
Q: How do you balance artistic expression with documentary responsibility in a project like Sápmi Living Landscapes?
She emphasizes documentary responsibility without claiming to be a journalist, aiming to communicate a broader picture, be respectful, and involve the community by talking to people while not professing to tell every aspect of the story.
