In this episode of "F-Stop Collaborate and Listen," host Matt Payne chats with Jeroen Van Nieuwenhove, a Belgian-born, Iceland-based landscape and nature photographer renowned for his dramatic imagery of Iceland's volcanoes and highlands. Jeroen describes how photographing his first volcanic eruption reignited his creative passion and profoundly shaped his approach to storytelling and visual art, emphasizing authentic experiences, patience, and the emotional connection to the landscape over chasing social media validation. The conversation explores the ethical challenges of drone photography, the dangers of rapidly growing photo tourism in Iceland, the importance of safety and legal compliance for workshop leaders, and lessons learned from self-publishing his successful book "New Earth." Jeroen also shares practical advice for visiting Iceland, his views on AI and manipulation in photography, the value of meaningful struggle, and recommendations for other inspiring photographers to follow.
