Interview with Adam Gibbs

March 28, 2018

Welcome to episode 049 of the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen podcast with Canada-based landscape photographer Adam Gibbs! Adam has a wonderful catalog of work that he's curated for over 20 years as a full-time landscape photographer. I was able to get him onto the podcast after a lot of demand from other guests and commenters to get him on! We had a fantastic conversation that is well worth a listen. 

We covered some great topics this week, including:

  • How Adam got into Landscape Photography.
  • How Landscape Photography has changed over the years.
  • Instagram and popularity.
  • Adam's workshops.
  • Adam's use of YouTube as a platform.
  • Digital manipulation and the impact on the craft.

Please consider supporting the podcast on Patreon! There's a ton of bonus content over there for subscribers! We are closer to our goal of being able to award a $1,000 prize to a photographer dedicated to conservation. Over on Patreon this week Adam talked about paragliding, rock climbing, and adventure.

Adam Gibbs - International Landscape Photographer of the Year 2018

The Enchantments in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness is one of my favourite locations to photograph . On my first autumn visit to the area I came across this fine backlit Larch with a wonderful little lake in deep shadow behind. By the time that I had set up my 4x5 camera the light had passed and I had missed the moment. I made a note of the time and location. The following year I made the trek up to this spot once again and sure enough at 1pm on a clear afternoon I managed to get the shot that I had tried to get the year before.
