Fine Art Landscape Photography With Cheyne Walls

Episode 55: Today I sit down with award-winning landscape photographer, Cheyne Walls, to chat about:

How his formal training as a photographer learning both film and digital photography shaped his approach to landscape photography
Why he uses an ALPA 12 TC camera with a Phase One digital back
How to use stitched images to create unique perspectives as well as large printable files
Why he uses a light meter to help him with composition
What filters he uses to get the exposure he wants in-camera (rather than blending exposures)
How to be prepared to travel at a moment’s notice to do photography, including being prepared for car camping and/or off-roading (and our shared love affair for Tacomas)
His goals for his YouTube channel
The challenges and benefits of connecting with fellow photographers
How to approach photography competitions
Some tips on printing
The pros and cons of running his own gallery
And much more!
