Chris sits down with landscape photographer Alex Noriega, who shares how he created his award-winning (2016 USA Landscape Photographer of the Year, and 2016 International Landscape Photographer of the Year) photographs.

In our wide-ranging interview, Alex talks about seeking a sense of mystery when he’s out in the field, and why he loves shooting nature instead of architecture.

Alex also offers his favorite National Parks to shoot in, how to escape the crowds that are found in America’s natural wonders, and how he makes his photos about something. Listeners also get to hear his favorite equipment and post-processing techniques, particularly when it comes to contrast.

Alex will be at Out of Yosemite and Out of Acadia, where he’ll help attendees with discovering small things to shoot in the field and post-processing.
