David Brookover - Using Landscape Photography to Understand Culture - a podcast by Matt Payne

from 2020-08-12T05:00

:: ::

Welcome to episode 173 of the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen podcast.


 


This week's episode features a photographer who has owned their own gallery in Jackson Hole, Wyoming since 2001 - David Brookover.


 


David's gallery is filled with custom-framed platinum palladium prints from his extensive travels throughout the world as a fine art landscape photographer. David got his start as a photographer while studying acupuncture in Japan back in 1986, where he was immersed in the Japanese culture which had a significant influence on his work as a photographer.


David and I discuss some interesting topics, including:


  • How David used photography as a way to understand a new place and culture,

  • Transitioning from a full-time job to full-time photography,

  • Platinum Palladium printing and his print-making process,

  • The secret to longevity in the craft of landscape photography

  • ... and more!
