In this episode of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen, host Matt Payne sits down with fine art and conservation photographer Jonas Paurell to discuss his Arctic Transcendence series, which explores the fragile beauty of the Arctic region. Jonas shares his journey from human rights lawyer to full-time photographer, recounting the life-changing health scare that prompted him to pursue his passion for photography and conservation. They dive into his creative approach—using negative space and minimalism to highlight the impermanence and vulnerability of Arctic landscapes—while also exploring the deeper purpose behind his art: inspiring love for nature as a means to protect it. Jonas and Matt touch on the challenges and ethics of photographing wildlife in threatened environments, the importance of community in photography workshops, and the balance between commercial success and personal creativity. Jonas also discusses his upcoming exhibition at the Hasselblad Foundation and the evolving regulations in Arctic photography. Throughout, the episode offers thoughtful reflections on finding purpose, the role of art in conservation, and the power of long-term commitment to a single project.
