Mixing family and photography isn't always easy.  Today's guest on the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen Podcast, Dorin Bofan, recently became a new father and has been grappling with the realities of spending less time in the field as a landscape photographer. Dorin is based in Romania, deep in the heart of Transylvania, and makes personally-expressive images of his home country. 


On this week's episode, we discuss:


  • How Dorin got into photography.

  • What it is like living in Transylvania as a landscape photographer.

  • Dorin's approach to making more personally-expressive images.

  • The differences between documentary photography and nature photography.

  • Why Dorin makes photographs.

  • Balancing family and photography.

  • Living a more sustainable lifestyle as a photographer.

  • The way in which Dorin organizes his work on his website.

  • And a lot more!
