Living close to our favorite photography destinations is a luxury that not everyone can afford; however, it has become a big part of my success in my own photography and I know it contributes to the success of others' work as well. Our relationship to place and how that connection fuels us and energizes our creativity can have a huge impact on the quality of our work.

This week I had the pleasure of speaking to United Kingdom photographer, Matt Oliver. Matt makes his living as a commercial photographer but his true passion lies in landscape and nature photography. I have always been a big fan of his quiet work from the Peak District in the United Kingdom, so I was excited to talk to him about his connection to that place and how it was forged.

On this week's episode, we discuss:

How Matt got into photography.
How Matt juggles his commercial photography with his landscape photography.
How important it has been for Matt to live close to the Peak District.
Advice for photographers that don't live close to their favorite areas.
The role of curiosity in Matt's photography.
The role of style in Matt's photography.
Chasing the light versus photographing smaller scenes.
What to do when the conditions are not ideal.
The impact of AI on Matt's commercial photography.
The differences between the UK and the USA in terms of how photography is monetized.
And a lot more!
