Episode 73: Today I sit down with professional landscape photographer, Benjamin Williamson, to chat about:

• How he transitioned from being a musician and bartender to being a professional photographer
• The two-way street of curiosity when it comes to creativity
• What he learned during his time as a photo editor and staff photographer at Down East Magazine
• Balancing photography with a family of three kids under the age of four
• Feeling deeply connected with natural and man-made environments and the relationship between the two
• Finding inspiration in other photographers’ work and how to integrate what you learn into your own creative vision
• His approach to teaching photography and creativity in his workshops
• The value of doing photography every day (or as much as you can)
• How to find narratives in landscape photography while incorporating cultural stories and weather
• Some tips on reading weather forecasts and events
• And a whole lot more!
