Charlotte Gibb, a renowned fine art nature and landscape photographer, shares her journey of discovering beauty in the overlooked details of the natural world. Best known for her mastery of "Intimate Landscapes," Charlotte discusses how her artistic vision celebrates form, color, texture, and the quiet symbolism found in small scenes within grand environments.
A Northern California native, Charlotte reflects on how her early career in advertising and graphic design shaped her eye for composition before she dedicated herself fully to photography. She speaks about her long-standing connection to Yosemite National Park, the evolution from film to digital, and how her creative process balances technical skill with artistic interpretation.
In this conversation, Charlotte opens up about the challenges of staying original in a saturated photography world and the importance of creating from a place of authenticity. She shares how she navigates creative slumps, the emotional resonance she seeks in her images, and her editing workflow that supports her storytelling approach.
We also dive into the emotional side of creating art, memorable field experiences, and practical advice for photographers striving to find their unique voice.
I hope you enjoy the show!
