142: A Panel Discussion on Landscape Photography Education And Creativity

Welcome to Episode 142 of the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen podcast. This week's episode is a special one! I assembled a cadre of some of the most well-respected landscape photographers in North America (our UK and Australian guests could not make it, unfortunately) for a discussion on photography education and creativity. This particular conversation really got me thinking and is full of interesting perspectives that will hopefully cause anyone listening to pause and think about their own photography. For this episode, I invited Guy Tal , Suzanne Mathia , Sean Bagshaw , David Cobb , and Alex Noriega .Thanks to listener and former guest, Len Metcalf for the idea of this week's podcast! Our incredible panel shared their thoughts on a wide variety of topics this week, including: Thoughts on the current philosophies of teaching photography. How current teaching approaches encourage or discourage creativity in photography. What do workshop customers demand and expect from their teachers. Defining and measuring creativity. and a lot more...
