Michael Breitung – Landscapes, Morocco, and the Photography Life He Never Expected | Episode #288

from Great Big Photography World

In this episode, Perrin sits down with Michael Breitung, a German software engineer and landscape photographer who has spent the better part of 15 years shooting across six continents, running yearly workshops in the medinas and deserts of Morocco, and building a photography life that most people never expected to see from someone who never quit his day job.Michael talks about how a road trip to the Grand Canyon with a brand new DSLR and no real plan produced a photo he still considers one of his best 17 years later, why a brief attempt at going full time taught him more about creativity than any workshop ever could, and what keeps drawing him back to Morocco year after year with a new group of photographers.He gets into why atmosphere and emotion are the only things that matter when deciding which photos make his portfolio, how he learned to put the camera down and just enjoy the view when the light isn't cooperating, and why landscape photography eventually led him to street photography, astrophotography, and a growing curiosity about wildlife.Check out the episode article here: https://greatbigphotographyworld.com/michael-breitungWant to support the show?
