331: Dorin Bofan - Capturing the Landscapes of Transylvania as a New Dad

Mixing family and photography isn't always easy.  Today's guest on the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen Podcast, Dorin Bofan, recently became a new father and has been grappling with the realities of spending less time in the field as a landscape photographer. Dorin is based in Romania, deep in the heart of Transylvania, and makes personally-expressive images of his home country. 

On this week's episode, we discuss:

• How Dorin got into photography.
• What it is like living in Transylvania as a landscape photographer.
• Dorin's approach to making more personally-expressive images.
• The differences between documentary photography and nature photography.
• Why Dorin makes photographs.
• Balancing family and photography.
• Living a more sustainable lifestyle as a photographer.
• The way in which Dorin organizes his work on his website.
• And a lot more!
