315: Lizzie Shepherd - Re-finding Your Mojo in Landscape Photography - a podcast by Matt Payne

from 2023-05-01T04:00

:: ::

It happens to the best of us - we lose our mojo in landscape photography and can't figure out how to find it again. Fortunately there is a simple cure for this...


In this week's podcast episode, I had a fantastic time speaking with one of my favorite UK landscape photographers, Lizzie Shepherd. We eventually do discuss losing our mojo but we also talk about how this is actually not a bad thing. Our chat covers a lot of important ground and it was a true delight speaking with Lizzie about her approach to making images. I highly recommend this podcast.


On this week's episode, we discuss:


  • Lizzie's journey into photography.

  • Going a long time without taking images and how to get back into it.

  • Cross-country skiing in Norway.

  • Why Scotland is one of Lizzie's favorite places to photograph.

  • Our role as photographers in protecting and promoting nature.

  • Using social media as a photographer.

  • Approaches to teaching workshops.

  • Intimate vs. grand scenic approaches to making images.

  • And a lot more!


If you enjoyed our chat, we did a whole bonus episode on Patreon about print sales in the UK and our approaches to open vs. limited edition prints.
