A sprawling, 26-page interview with many large images and probing questions!

An in-depth discussion with American Express about life as a traveling photographer.

Host Suzee Skwiot posed questions for me that brought us deep into some of the biggest topics in landscape photography today. This episode is sure to be a good listen for a wide range of photographers and appreciators. Along the way I reveal details of a unique new product that I’m close to releasing, and I share my excitement about the newest coffee table book  by Photo Cascadia, “Oregon, My Oregon”.

In this video interview, six hosts and another 100 live participants all asked me questions for a full two hours!  We discussed a fascinating range of topics, such as: Can creativity can be taught? What is useful about color theory, how I’ve collaborated with photography friends over the years, why I have used Canon cameras exclusively for the 16 years that I’ve been a photographer, how to avoid creative pressure, my “less is more” philosophy about social media, professional development as a landscape photographer, what is personal style, and much more.

Host Rick Sammon and I discuss a range of topics of interest to creative photographers, including the perils of “perfection” and overcoming creative block. We also discuss the increasingly hot topic of location sharing, and Rick asks me to tell his viewers more about the new eBook by Photo Cascadia, “Photographing Through the Seasons”.

I’m very honored to have been chosen as 2019’s Photographer of the Year by Capture Landscapes! For the interview I received a number of very thoughtful questions, all intended to be helpful and entertaining for readers. The topics include something for everyone: approaches in the field, philosophies about composition and post-processing, advice for anyone going full-time in landscape photography, and advice for photographers who are just starting out…plus lots more.

It’s refreshing to see an interviewer who is willing to ask questions that dig deep, touching on both the benefits and the challenges of a career in landscape photography. I embraced the questions with openness and enthusiasm, and I think that the result is a very thought-provoking interview.

In this video interview, host Frederick Van Johnson asked me some very thoughtful questions about my transition from the academic world of art history and archaeology into becoming a full-time landscape photographer…and about how my background has helped to form me as a photography educator.

In honor of Earth Day, host Brian Matiash invited me to discuss the vexing issue of photography’s impact on wild lands and the part that social media has to play in encouraging photographers to behave in ways that can change the world.

Interviewer Chris Smith and I went through an entertaining list of questions posed by the photography community in response to my invitation to “Ask me anything!” The topics are very diverse, ranging from color theory in landscape photography to being creative in the field…to why I wear purple…and a whole lot more!

The Traveling Image Makers, Episode 165, titled “Erin Babnik on Resilience”. Host Ugo Cei asked me to share my story of surviving the wildfire that destroyed my home and office in Paradise, California late last year and to explain how I have managed to recover (to the extent that I have so far). We also discussed file back-up strategies and my latest article on compositional patterns.

I’m happy to present a new podcast interview in which I share a huge amount of insights regarding both the camera work and the post-processing that went into two of my most popular photographs. The discussion gets deep into issues of technique and composition as I answered any and every question that the hosts wanted to pose. I also shared the whole backstory of my newest photo release, as well as the story of one that is yet be unveiled. Enjoy!

I was honored to be featured in the pilot for a new show on AdoramaTV as one of five photographers in a round table discussion regarding current issues in landscape photography. Seated with me were Chris Burkhard, Keith Ladzinski, Pete McBride, and Jacob Riglin, plus the episode’s moderator, Kishore Sawh.

My newest appearance on a podcast show is quite different from any of the others that I’ve done. I had discussed this topic with Alex Nail twice before, and both conversations were collegial and engaging…so I agreed to do this episode in dialogue with him (and with a moderator who shares his views!). Alex is an outstanding photographer who I have met before and who shares my fondness for adventurous outings in remote locations. It was a very lively discussion, and I hope that it gives everyone plenty to think about!

Also note that there is bonus content available for Patreon subscribers: a separate conversation with Alex and me on the topic of photography workshops.

In front of a live audience at the Out of Moab Landscape Photography Podcast, host Nick Page moderated this panel discussion with Josh Cripps, Ian Norman, and me. We covered a range of topics of interest to landscape photographers in an especially frank, candid, and often humorous conversation.

In this episode, Host Nick Page inquires about an approach to photography that has become increasingly rare since the rise of digital imaging and social media: releasing new photographs infrequently. Nick chose me and fellow photographer Alex Noriega as exemplars of this unusual approach because we both make it work to support our full-time careers in landscape photography. We discussed a variety of concerns, including online ‘visibility’, the creative process, portfolio curation, and much more.

We discussed the progressive techniques embraced by many photographers in the Pacific Northwest, new business models, image manipulation, new technology for phone apps, for post-processing, and for outdoor gear. This was a very lively and wide-ranging discussion that packs in something for everyone.

In this interview, David Johnston asks me about my experiences with exploration as a landscape photographer. We discuss the creative benefits of exploration and discovery, some practical resources for research, and the drawbacks to pioneering new locations.

This conversation may surprise you at many points. Listen to find out how my talk on composition differs from other treatments of the subject and why the talk has been so well received. Thanks to the unique interview style of Bill Ramsey, we delve into a range of related topics with a level of depth that is rare in podcast interviews.

A video version of this recording will be available soon.

This new podcast show by Matt Payne offers “casual conversations” with landscape photographers in episodes that run longer and cover more ground than most others. Our wide-ranging discussion of nearly an hour and half includes: the history of the underground landscape photography group once operating as Area 51, my thoughts on the issue of photo manipulation, the challenges and rewards of becoming a full-time landscape photographer, putting social media into perspective, some thoughts on artistic vision, funny stories from the road, and more.

In this interview, titled “The Creative Process”, David Johnston asks me some of the most important questions for any landscape photographer to consider. We touch on many of the points from my talk in England about creative expression and expand to a number of related topics. How important is it to travel to so-called ‘epic’ locations? Can ‘bad’ conditions produce great photographs? How can a photographer get out of a creative slump? How can beginning photographers find their own creative voice? Listen to the episode for these questions and many more!
