In this episode of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen, host Matt Payne sits down with photographer Seth Robbins to explore his intimate new photo book, "A Trustworthy Home," which documents Orthodox Jewish weddings from an insider’s perspective. Robbins discusses his approach to avoiding cliched or trophy-driven images, instead emphasizing the power of trust, cultural understanding, and authentic connection with his subjects. The conversation delves into themes of individuality within community, the challenges and rewards of photographing from the inside, and the importance of storytelling over spectacle—lessons that landscape and nature photographers can also apply. The episode wraps with practical insights about producing art books and balancing the desire for reach with production costs, plus some inspiring recommendations for photographers to check out.
