I very quickly learned that I liked Matt's interview style and thoughtful questions. I think I hear almost every episode his guest saying at least once, "That's a really good question." So, it means he does his homework. I also enjoy that he has a variety of guests. Case in point, long-time greats like Art Wolfe and much newer photographers like Michael Rung -- these happen to be back to back. He also had street photographer Kamal X. Which was great becasue it gave a few different perspectives to photography -- not a landscape photographer and also a POC. I think it gives a more well-rounded view of photography. Thanks for a very thoughtful podcast.

I've been listening to F-stop, Collaborate, and Listen for a while now. Lately, I've been diving in to see how this Podcast has influenced my photography, and there’s been a big change. The conversations with professionals whose techniques are tried and true have been impactful and valuable. Each guest has a unique story and experience with photography, and infusing that experience into my workflow has been helpful. Much of it is due to Matt Payne's engaging conversation with each guest. This Podcast is a must for anyone who wants to further explore their deep connection to photography by listening to what others have experienced. It's one of the absolute best. Be sure to support their Patreon, as it keeps this quality Podcast up and running.

I've been listening for a few years now and the show has introduced me to so many awesome photographers that I wouldn't have otherwise known about. Love the conversations. Love it all.

Having been one of this podcasts early listeners, I am blown away by the fact that after 300 consecutive weekly episodes, Matt Payne manages to keep each episode fresh, fun, and above all, informative. The vast array of guests that Matt has managed to get onto the show have all shared thought provoking ideas, approaches and experiences that have been a big part in my growth as a photographer. Please consider finding this podcast on Patreon, and become a supporter of this fantastic program. In doing so, you also will gain access to early release of the podcast episodes. On a scale from one to five, this podcast is a perfect ten!

When on point the podcast is great, but when the host starts moaning about social justice issues or pushing agendas… its an eye rolling misery to keep listening.

Just not what it use to be. Social media and mainstream media has ruined many things. Even photography podcasts.

Found this while searching around. Now I listen to every episode. Matt is an artful host and I enjoy the topics discussed.

The best landscape podcast out there. It just keeps getting better. Matt has fine-tuned his dialogue and questions to figure out who the photographer is, what they are about and what is meaningful to them. It is great company on the road to your photography destinations!

Some really inspiring content here; makes you want to get out and shoot. Innovative, stimulating guests

This podcast is thoughtful, interesting and has really solid ethics. It would seem that most photography podcasts leave one or two of those out, so this podcast is a breath of fresh air! Always unique guests with good discussions.

I’ve been listening to this podcast for 3-4 years now, and it is easily my favorite one for landscape and nature photography discussions. Matt has done a fantastic job of refining his hosting skills over the years, and has attracted a phenomenal list of guests. I’ve been a supporter on Patreon for two years or so, and am happy to contribute to the show’s ongoing success. Even without the Patreon perks, I’d still be a supported given the value of the weekly episodic content.

If you’re looking for thoughtful conversation about nature and landscape photography then this is the best show for you. Matt Payne has created an exceptional show and time and again I leave these discussions having grown in my own way as a photographer. Excellent questions and very thoughtful guests, you can’t go wrong here.

Bought a Sony a6400 and have started from the beginning of “F-Stop” and have learned so much already, very pleasant and informative listen. Perfect for a drive into work or a long hike, can’t wait to get back to Durango to shoot again. (Ig:Ruggiero716)

Chances are if you have any heroes in the landscape or nature photography space, they’ve been a guest on this show. Always insightful and thoughtful, Matt puts together a great program. Don’t miss it!

I just started listening to this podcast and I love it!!! It’s so informative and inspiring! It makes you stop and think about so many different topics. It’s fun to listen to other photographers thoughts and tips! Matt is fantastic in the interviews! Love how mental health comes up and how other photographers like myself love photography and find it as their therapy to get through the hard times! Thank you Matt and all the photographers who have spoken! Keep it going!

This is a great podcast for anyone who is interested in landscape and nature photography. F-stop collaborate and listen covers a wide range of topics from the creative process to the business side of photography. I highly recommend the podcast!

This show is a must for entreprenuerial photographers! So much valuable content!

This Podcast has changed my life! Honestly! I just started out with photography and it can all be overwhelming. I have taken much of the advice on this show and applied it to my own work and my approach to photography. Now I feel like I have direction and can feel even better about my journey. Matt has some of the best photographers as guests and he does an amazing job asking the right questions that will spark meaningful conversations. I just discovered this podcast a few weeks ago and have gone back through and listened to a few episodes more than once. IT’S THAT GOOD!! Thanks so much Matt!!

An awesome podcast about photography and the personal lives of the photographer.

I appreciate that Matt, over the course of over two hundred episodes, has interviewed such a wide range of artists in the field of landscape photography. He’s steered the conversations to seemingly endless pertinent topics, beyond “wHaT’s YoUr FaVoRiTe GeAr?”— to creativity, travel, ethics, the internet, social dynamics, environmentalism, diversity, mental health, and more. By doing so, he’s given us a better understanding of what makes so many of these wonderful photographers tick. On top of the undeniable achievement of having assembled such a large library of interviews, I know Matt personally and he’s just a really good dude. Give this one a listen!

Matt has such an amazing and diverse set of guests bringing a lot of depth to photography, issues facing public lands and other worthy issues of discussion. So glad this podcast exists!

Thank You for the extremely wonderful and diverse photographers that you host. This has been such an informative podcast after finding you a few months ago , I have enjoyed your archives as well as current podcasts. Keep Up The Great Hosting ! Thank You!

I’ve listened to this podcast for at least two years. The last podcast both the interviewer and the interviewee just had to comment about politics and the former President. I unsubscribed immediately and didn’t even finish listening to the podcast. I listen to photography based podcasts so I don’t have to listen to talk about politics or racism.

Did Love the podcast I am a 58 yr old white male I was taught to treat people like I want to be treated and that is how I live my life. Getting tired of politics don’t want to hear it in my entertainment so I am unsubscribing.

This podcast is a great way to be introduced to some great photographers. While listening to these informative podcasts I often browse through the portfolios of the guests.

I have listened to every episode of this podcast, and have enjoyed it’s changes over time. Matt has consistently introduced his listeners to well known and much lesser known photographers as well as branching into other areas that provide relevant information. He is engaging and asks intelligent questions. Another great aspect of this podcast is hearing how Matt’s opinions and thoughts toward photography have changed and become more clear over the years. I highly recommend this podcast.

The wide range and quality of people and information Matt brings to this podcast is nothing less than exceptional. There are other great photography podcasts, but Matt does a fantastic job with the interviews and teasing out valuable information for any photographer. Thank you!

Matt has interviewed a startlingly vast array of incredibly talented and diverse photographers, and every episode contains nuggets of wisdom and inspiration that keep my passion for photography alive and well even during the down times. His casual but well-prepared interview style brings out the best in all his guests, and it’s easy to laugh along with all the great banter and storytelling. This has been my morning and afternoon commute binge for months now, and I’m always excited to find out who will be on his next episode! Can’t recommend enough!

F-Stop Collaborate and Listen is extremely engaging and informative. I actually feel like I'm coming away from each show with a bit of knowledge or something meaningful that relates to our craft. I might not agree 100% with everything I hear on the show, but it doesn't negatively impact my enjoyment. Matt’s background in psychology is likely a driving force that makes the interviews consistent and even flowing. Additionally, he maintains a great rapport with the interviewees. Keep up the great work and thank you for your contribution to the photography community!

I’ve been listening since the beginning and every episode keeps getting better! I love Matt’s down to Earth, yet in depth conversations with all the amazing guests! I feel my work as a photographer may have even improved and grown because of this show and all the incredibly talented photographers the show has exposed me to. I especially love the shows that are dedicated to the business side of photography. Not many people talking about that stuff. Keep up the great work!

Just finished episode 149. What I enjoy about this episode is the discussion of film vs. digital and growing as an artist. Matt often brings up great topics that I can relate to. This episode directly tied into what I’m learning right now in my photography class.

I have listened to this podcast since pretty close to the start and have loved it. Matt does a great job bringing in some of the best and most interesting landscape photographers and talking with them about their approach to photography. Its awesome to hear his guests’ thoughts on current photography trends and what drives them to get out there to take photos. There’s not much else to say other than if you like landscape photography you need to listen.

Very well thought out, amazing guests, and extremely informative! If your wanting to take your photography to the next level not only skill wise but business wise, then this is the podcast to listen too! Matt and his guests provide great information about not only photography but running workshops and selling prints!

Great lineup of photographers around the world with discussions of the ethics, business, techniques, and life of landscape photography.

Matt asks so many great questions in his podcast. He is a really great interviewer. There's a reason why so many people are listening to and supporting this show. Keep up the great work Matt!

Excellent conversations about landscape photography.

F-Stop Collabarate and Listen is a great podcast for those wanting to hear the journeys of well established landscape photograpers. As well as learning the business of becoming a Landscape photographer. I also like Matt's view for protecting the environment to ensure we have beautiful landscapes to shoot for many years to come. Keep up the great work Matt.

You can tell that Matt puts a lot of effort and a lot of himself in his podcasts. He finds great guests that run the spectrum of landscape photographers in terms of style, locations, techniques, etc. all have valuable lessons to share and the one hour is time well managed (probably a skill he honed in his other job). I get fired up after each episode. I discovered the podcast a few months ago and am going through them now. Very worthwhile listening.

Matts passion for photography and making the world a better place really makes this a great podcast to listen to! Highly recommended!

Matt has done a fabulous job of bringing many local and we’ll know photographers together to talk about their photography stories as well as any tips and tricks of the trade. I have found so many more great inspirations to follow after listening to all of the great content. Please keep up the good work!

Hey Everybody! There’s much to love about Matt’s podcast and I think the closing segment is a good example. The final question always involves Matt asking his guests “who else should I have on the podcast”. This moment is emblematic of the spirit of the show - photographers talking to photographers about their craft. Each guest brings a story about their own craft and hearing each is a lesson. I always enjoy learning from another workflow. I’m still always working to improve mine after 34 years of shooting. Adding this show to your playlist will introduce you to new shooters and new ways of shooting that can only improve your work. It’s by far my favorite podcast available that speaks to my passion for taking pictures - and also about the people that take them.

This is my absolute favorite photography podcast! Great format and awesome guests!! Every episode sparks thought and inspiration!

Hosting some of the leading photographers, F-Stop Collaborate and Listen offers a unique vision by presenting the world through a wide range of creative, traditional and intimate techniques. A podcast that creates an enriched environment and pioneering amateur and professional landscape photographers with the skill to capture the world in a fascinating way F-Stop Collaborate and Listen is undoubtedly a must visit and definitely worth a subscribe.

Quite simply, Matt talks to some of the best landscape photographers in the world, and invites you into the conversation. Landscape photography is a hobby for me and one that I've practiced for a long time, but never participated in any of the community, social, or educational activities that related to it (which appear to have exploded in the digital/social media age). I've had the opportunity to re-invest more time in the hobby in recent months, and made the decision to participate in more of that kind of stuff. Matt's podcast has been great at introducing me to the work of photographers I'd never heard of, identifing newer tools and resources I'd not known about, revealing some of how the 'industry' works, and tackling the most controversial issues of the day. One of the great things about the podcast is that some of the viewpoints expressed have really changed my perspective...which is a very difficult thing to do. I listen regularly, and greatly enjoy it!

Wow. Listening to your podcast of Nick Selway was like listening to me. Like Nick, I own a photography gallery and I don’t heavily retouch. I shoot Hawaii a lot and we both have similar challenges and goals. Excellent job Matt - thank you. By the way, I have listened to ALL your podcasts. I guess you can call me a true fan....

I’ve listened to Matt’s podcast since the beginning! What I love most about this podcast is, it’s as real as it gets! He tackles the hard subjects, and not so popular ideals. Whether you agree or not, it will definitely give you something to think about!! I know I have learned a great deal, and look forward to listening to it every week!

Matt is a landscape photographer and climber/mountaineer from Colorado who, just because he wanted to, started a podcast interviewing landscape photographers. In a little over two years, he's put together some fascinating talks with a broad spectrum of landscape photographers -- some established professionals, some promising amateurs, and some rising stars of social media fame. Personally, I tend to let the episodes pile up a bit and save them for long drives when I'm headed out to do my own photography. Whether it's an hour of shooting the breeze trading stories or an hour diving into philosophy, I've always enjoyed it.

I discovered Matt Payne’s podcast several months ago and found the content so compelling that I dropped my Patreon support for National Geographic legend, David Alan Harvey, in favor of F Stop Collaborate and Listen. The podcast which is geared toward landscape and nature photography covers most of the current days issues and brings on guests that run the gamut from talented hobbyists to successful pros with gallery and workshop businesses. Keep up the great work Matt!

I have listened to the podcast since episode one. Matt has honed in his interviewing skills and always asks his guests relevant and pertinent questions. One of my favorite episodes was with Joshua Cripps when he talked about “Imposter Syndrome”. I was in a creative rut at the time and that podcast helped me pull through. I also really enjoyed the podcast with Jason Matias. His insight on the fine art world helped me implement some changes into my business. I like what Matt’s doing so much that I signed up to be a Patron and would encourage other listeners to do the same. One thing is evident, this podcast has grown into something beautiful and look forward to many more episodes. My one point of contention would be the tone of the conversation sometimes. I understand that there are a lot of lousy people, more specifically photographers, who don’t respect nature and comp stomp other photographers work. While I think this is an important topic, the podcast discussion often leaves the listener feeling guilty or unwelcome. I have heard this through two fellow photographers who also listen to the podcast. I think the conversation about nature conservation should provide encouragement, motivation, and education. If somebody needs to comp stomp 100 photos before they produce one original, I think that is their right and their journey to take. I’d hate for somebody to feel discouraged while listening. To feel as if they’re unwelcome in the photography community or that their part of problem. I’d rather somebody feel inspired they way I was by Joshua Cripps and many other guests.

Matt does a terrific job chatting with a variety of guests which informs yet inspires. It is at the top of the podcasts I listen to each week. 100 episodes! All well worth the time.
