In this episode of "F-Stop Collaborate and Listen," host Matt Payne talks with Grant Collier, a renowned landscape photographer and publisher, about his extensive career capturing Colorado's wilderness, transitioning from film to digital photography, and leveraging drones for unique aerial perspectives. Collier discusses his challenges and strategies in self-publishing, including producing bestsellers like "Collier’s Guide to Night Photography" and his latest book "Colorado." He shares insights on balancing the art and business of photography, logistics of inventory management, and the evolution of his work, such as using telescopic images and creating creative products like a Bigfoot calendar. Collier also touches on personal experiences, his struggles with a chronic back issue, and his decision to avoid expanding his business to keep creative freedom. The episode concludes with practical advice for aspiring photographers and a lighthearted, ongoing friendly feud with fellow photographer Eric Stensland.
