Welcome to Episode 156 of the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen podcast. This week, I had a fantastic conversation with Sarah Lyndsay. Sarah Lyndsay is a Canadian landscape, portrait, and wedding photographer and Instagram star.  We had a great chat this week and covered some fun topics: Landscape photography completely changed her life and Sarah shared her uplifting story with us on the show this week. Sarah and I talked about how she is pivoting and adjusting to the COVID-19 situation by using her YouTube channel and we discuss how others can do the same. Sarah also shared her tips on how she has leveraged the Instagram platform to gain her following. What motivates Sarah create photos.
