Modern society has, for better or worse, influenced the adoption of wide-scale consumerism. This shift is relatively new for our species, and marketing experts have tapped into human psychology to maximize our desire to purchase and consume goods. This shift can also influence how and why we pursue happiness through consumption and trying to "keep up with the Joneses." Today's guest on the podcast, Jeff Freestone, was influenced heavily by the Minimalists, a pair of podcasters and authors named Joshua Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus. This duo helps millions of people live meaningfully with less by encouraging a more minimalistic lifestyle. By examining his own life, Jeff has been able to embrace nature photography's role in pursuing a more wholesome lifestyle that is less focused on consumption and more focused on enjoyment of nature. On this week's episode, we discuss: The influence of minimalism on Jeff's photography journey, Finding meaning in life through nature photography, Discovering and appreciating smaller scenes, Photographing alone vs. with other people, Tips for photographing alone, How Jeff has found success in such a short amount of time, Jeff's preference for photographing close to home, Jeff's approach to social media, And a lot more!  Other topics/links discussed on the podcast this week: Join me over on Nature Photographer's Network and use the discount code FSTOP10 for a 10% discount. Enter the Natural Landscape Photography Awards. Support the podcast on Patreon. My articles on OnLandscape about some of the recommended guests and Jeff.  Here is who Jeff recommended on the podcast this week: Paul Hoelen.  Luke Tsarke. Richard Martin. Alfredo Mora. Ron Coscorossa.  I love hearing from the podcast listeners!

278: Jeff Freestone - The Pursuit of Happiness Through Photography

This episode I'm joined by Jeff Freestone to talk about his stunning intimate landscapes in the high country of south eastern Australia. Jeff lives in the small remote town of Omeo, nestled in the heart of the Victorian High Country. He and his family moved here in 2017 from Melbourne seeking a quieter life, away from the hustle and bustle, to raise their children.  What started out as a new hobby quickly turned into something that would soon consume all of Jeff’s free time and resulted in a desire to learn as much as he could about the art of photography. His previous love for art and creativity, which had been lost for many years during during his time chasing money and status, would eventually return in the form of photography and would ultimately become his new tool for artistic expression. We discuss how he and his family came to make the decision to give up city life for a quieter existence, how the high country has influenced his artistic direction and his passion for intimate forest scenes and much more..  I hope you enjoy the show!
