Welcome to Episode 074 of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen with Hans Strand!
Hans Strand, born in 1955 in Marmaverken, Sweden. In 1990, after a nine-year career in mechanical engineering he decided to devote his life to landscape photography. Its a change he never regretted. Hans has always felt himself drawn to the untamed and unmanipulated emotions and expressions that he finds in nature. He often says: ”The wilderness is the mother of all living things. It is always true and never trivial.” Hans' work takes him to diverse places worldwide; from polar deserts to steaming rain-forests and expansive deserts. The internationally awarded landscape photography is seldom a portrait of a place, but an expression of forces that create and mold a landscape. His pictures, frozen in a static frame, still tell a story of movement, time and evolution. Lately his photography has also taken a course away from the untouched and wild nature and focused more on people´s influences on ecosystems. Photographs of water pollution and the visual magic of man-made agricultural landscapes have become an important ingredient in his in recent work.
We covered some great topics this week, including:
1. Aerial photography and the differences / similarities with land-based photography.
2. His amazing Iceland aerial photography book.
3. Landscape photography - impressing vs. story-telling.
4. The state of landscape photography.
5. Intimate landscape photography vs. grand scenic.
