Episode 65: Today I sit down with professional photographer, writer, editor, and expedition leader and instructor, Justin Black, to chat about:

  • What it was like working with Galen Rowell at Mountain Light Photography and some of the lessons he learned from Galen
  • His vision behind creating Visionary Wild and the various workshop and expedition types they offer
  • The role visual perception plays in how we interpret compositions and how we can use it to creatively and effectively compose our images
  • What we can learn from studying other two-dimensional forms of art
  • The importance of curiosity, experimentation, investigation, discovery, and reflection in one’s growth as a photographer
  • Photography as a practice (couldn’t agree more!)
  • The idea of purposeful photography
  • His work with the International League of Conservation Photographers and ways that photographers can work with non-profits on conservation projects
  • How anticipation and awareness help with visualization and responding to nature in the moment
  • Using simplicity in compositions from the grand landscape to small, intimate scenes
  • A whole lot more!
