Welcome to another episode of "F-Stop Collaborate and Listen," where we fuse the world of photography and delightful camaraderie. I'm your host, Matt Payne, and today we've got a treat for all you photography enthusiasts. Joining us is Mike DiMeola, not only a physician in Vermont but also a rising star in nature photography and co-host of the YouTube channel, Brews n' Views.
As an anesthesiologist, Mike's professional life is characterized by precision and control, but when it comes to his photography, he seeks an escape, an outlet to balance the pressures of his intense work life. We'll learn how he carves out time for photography and allows his creativity to flow freely without concrete goals, embracing the peacefulness that naturally draws him in.
Mike is an advocate for environmental conservation, donating all of his print sales profits to the National Forest Foundation. He shares with us the importance of mentorship in his life, from the impact TJ Thorne has had on him, to his own experiences mentoring a young nature photographer.
Beyond the lens, Mike participates in the beer and photo showcases of Brews n' Views, digging into good beer and spotlighting underappreciated photographers. Join us as we explore how Mike's minimalist approach to equipment, his preference for local scenes in Vermont, and his passion for capturing the serene essence of winter align with his overall philosophy to photography. This episode is packed full of insight, recommendations, and stories you won't want to miss.
