Matt Payne: Chasing Peaks and Podcast Deadlines

What happens when you combine a love for mountains, a passion for photography, and the patience to run a weekly podcast? You get Matt Payne!

In this episode, we sit down with landscape photographer, workshop leader, and host of "F-Stop Collaborate and Listen" to talk about his journey from childhood hikes in Colorado to becoming a full-time photographer capturing the wild beauty of the outdoors. We get into his creative process, why intimate landscapes have become his obsession, and the balancing act of being a conservation advocate while sharing breathtaking locations.  

And because Matt doesn’t have enough on his plate he also runs workshops, co-founded the Natural Landscape Photography Awards and we chat about what really goes into running a photography podcast, from editing marathons to herding photographers for interviews. Plus, we throw in a few fun surprises—because when else will you hear a landscape photographer debate whether he’d rather shoot the World Series or Patagonia?
