149: Alex Burke - Large Format Film Landscape Photography

Welcome to Episode 149 of the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen podcast. This week's episode features a fellow Coloradoan and Large-format film landscape photographer, Alex Burke. Alex's work is diverse but is largely focused on the mountains of Colorado as well as the plains and prairies of Eastern Colorado. He has been working on a very interesting project where he has been photographing the interaction between man and land in the plains which is really fascinating. Alex survives by selling his work at art shows across the country. We covered a wide variety of topics, including: His current project. Making more meaningful photos that go beyond what's just beautiful. Backpacking with large format. Composing on large format. Getting stuck in the past techniques as a film photographer. Current trends in landscape photography.
