Flow States in Landscape Photography | Ben Maze

Welcome to episode 259 of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen with your host Matt Payne.   This week I was joined by an Aussie landscape and nature photographer, Ben Maze. Ben is quickly becoming one of my favorite photographers as well as one of the most genuine and thoughtful members of our community. I've enjoyed many conversations with Ben on Discord and Instagram and I was so excited to finally get him onto the podcast for a chat.   On this week's episode, we discuss: Ben's introduction into photography and his choice to not attend college. Creating community for landscape photographers on Discord. Ben's shift to project-based work, like his Geomorph project. Entering Flow State in Nature Photography. Ben's thoughts on NFTs as someone who used to do them. Photographers who inspire Ben. Other topics discussed on the podcast this week: Support the podcast on Patreon. Choosing a camera. Line Goes Up - an Examination of Crypto and NFTs. Our episode on NFTs. Here is who Ben recommended on today's show Jeff Freestone. Matt Oliver. Cesar Llaneza Pablo Ruiz Garcia.
