Every single time I talk to Erin Babnik I learn something new. Maybe it’s because she knows way more than I do about the foundations of art due to her background in education in art history. Whatever it is, I always love talking with Erin Babnik about landscape photography.
I wanted to have Erin on the podcast to talk about several topics. Not only to selfishly help me understand photography better, but also to help you understand some of the concepts she discusses.
Not only that, but I wanted to talk with Erin about her experience with the Paradise, California wildfires on a deeper level. She has talked about it on several other interviews, however I wanted to go deeper. The number one thing that I wanted to hear about was her experience with creative space after trauma. Trauma can impact us in several different ways, but it can have catastrophic effects on creativity and art if it’s not dealt with in certain ways. The first thing I wanted to discuss was Erin’s creative mindset after the wildfires and some of her thoughts on photography after the fires that happened a year ago.
Throughout the podcast interview, Erin Babnik will briefly discuss several of her most popular articles that she’s written on landscape photography. Since the articles are so meaty, I have posted links to all of the articles that we discuss in the podcast for you to read yourself. You will find all of those listed at the bottom of this page in the “links from this podcast” section.
Trust me, you want to read those articles because they are really going to help you take your landscape photography and art to the next level.
FYI… I’ve photographed the same scene that Erin did above. Her photo is way better…
I think the most interesting thing from this episode is at the very end. Erin and I share some tips on how you can actually improve your landscape photography by enjoying other forms of art as well. Acrylic paints, sketching, and watercolors can all help you express yourself creatively as a photographer. And who better to talk about that with than Erin, who has a background in art history.
