We are back with our third installment of the Artists Asking Artists Series on the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen Podcast.  This week's podcast, Episode 289, features two of my favorite nature and landscape photographers, Guy Tal and Alex Noriega. When I first conceived of the idea of creating this series for the podcast, Guy and Alex were the first two photographers that came to my mind knowing that Guy has been such an inspiration to Alex and both of them have been such a huge inspiration to me. I honestly believe this might be one of my favorite episodes of the podcast ever recorded, so I think you will really enjoy it! Alex did a wonderful job coming up with questions for Guy and Guy was an amazingly humble and generous guest, as always.  On this week's episode, we discuss: Suffering, depression, and artistry, Choosing to live close to nature, The importance of confidence as photographers, How Guy developed his connection to Utah, Equivalence in nature photography, Grand Landscapes and creativity, Leaving a more meaningful life through photography, The relationship of money and creativity, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and landscape photography, Perfectionism in landscape photography, And a lot more!
