William McIntosh - Authenticity, Artistry and Creativity in Landscape Photography

<p>Welcome to episode 240 of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen!</p> <p>This week on the podcast I was joined by <a href='https://www.williammcintoshphotography.com/'>William McIntosh</a> - a landscape photographer and choral music professor at Mt. San Antonio College in Southern California. William and I have been exchanging long and thoughtful e-mails for several years and I finally decided that it would be much more fun to debate our ideas publicly on the podcast instead of via e-mail, so I invited him to join me. I'm so glad he agreed!</p> <p>On this week's episode we discuss:</p> <ul><li>How photography became an outlet for William after losing his wife to cancer,</li> <li>The differences between absolute art and programmatic art,</li> <li>Is landscape photography art, and when is it art?</li> <li>Chasing the light vs. slowing down,</li> <li>Why William has no qualms chasing the icons and epic light,</li> <li>Our motivations for creating images and how that helps shape the types of images we create,</li> <li>And a lot more!</li> </ul> <p>Here's who William recommended for the podcast this week:</p> <ul><li><a href='https://www.brunopisani.com/'>Bruno Pisani</a>.</li> <li><a href='https://www.instagram.com/noelcasajephotography/?hl=en'>Noel Casaje</a>.</li> <li><a href='https://www.instagram.com/ericgailphotodude/?hl=en'>Eric Gail</a>.</li> <li><a href='https://scenesfromlight.com/'>Greg Boratyn</a>.</li> <li><a href='https://www.instagram.com/colopho/?hl=en'>Todd Miller</a>.</li> </ul> <p>Other items mentioned on the show:</p> <p>1.
