In this episode of "F-Stop Collaborate and Listen," host Matt Payne chats with Norwegian photographer Klaus Axelsen about his journey from corporate consultant to passionate nature photographer. Klaus shares how photography and spending time in nature became key tools for managing his mental health, leading him toward creating deeply intimate and expressive images of Norway’s lesser-known natural details. The conversation delves into the evolution of Klaus’ artistic vision, the challenges and rewards of curating his upcoming book "The Artwork of Nature," and the importance of setting creative limitations and embracing solitude. They also discuss the realities of running workshops, breaking free from self-imposed artistic snobbery, and how slowing down and focusing on the small things can transform both photography and personal well-being. Klaus wraps up with book details and recommendations for other inspiring photographers to check out.
