Matt Payne: Chasing Peaks and Podcast Deadlines

What happens when you combine a love for mountains, a passion for photography, and the patience to run a weekly podcast? You get Matt Payne! In this episode, we sit down with landscape photographer, workshop leader, and host of "F-Stop Collaborate and Listen" to talk about his journey from childhood hikes in Colorado to becoming a full-time photographer capturing the wild beauty of the outdoors. We get into his creative process, why intimate landscapes have become his obsession, and the balancing act of being a conservation advocate while sharing breathtaking locations.   And because Matt doesn’t have enough on his plate he also runs workshops, co-founded the Natural Landscape Photography Awards and we chat about what really goes into running a photography podcast, from editing marathons to herding photographers for interviews. Plus, we throw in a few fun surprises—because when else will you hear a landscape photographer debate whether he’d rather shoot the World Series or Patagonia? Grab a coffee and join us for an adventure-filled chat with Matt Payne!  *** 📸 Check out Matt’s work: https://www.mattpaynephotography.com/ 🎙️ Listen to his podcast: https://www.mattpaynephotography.com/page/f-stop-collaborate-and-listen/ *** 🎙️ Your Weekly Dose of Photography Caffeine: https://thecameracafeshow.com/
