Landscape Photography from the UK Peak District

April 3, 2023  |  United Kingdom

Living close to our favorite photography destinations is a luxury that not everyone can afford; however, it has become a big part of my success in my own photography and I know it contributes to the success of others' work as well. Our relationship to place and how that connection fuels us and energizes our creativity can have a huge impact on the quality of our work.

Landscape Photography from the Peak District by Matt Oliver - A Conversation on the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen Podcast.

This week I had the pleasure of speaking to United Kingdom photographer, Matt Oliver. Matt makes his living as a commercial photographer but his true passion lies in landscape and nature photography. I have always been a big fan of his quiet work from the Peak District in the United Kingdom, so I was excited to talk to him about his connection to that place and how it was forged.

On this week's episode, we discuss:

  • How Matt got into photography.
  • How Matt juggles his commercial photography with his landscape photography.
  • How important it has been for Matt to live close to the Peak District.
  • Advice for photographers that don't live close to their favorite areas.
  • The role of curiosity in Matt's photography.
  • The role of style in Matt's photography.
  • Chasing the light versus photographing smaller scenes.
  • What to do when the conditions are not ideal.
  • The impact of AI on Matt's commercial photography.
  • The differences between the UK and the USA in terms of how photography is monetized.
  • And a lot more!
