Today I'm joined by the incredibly talented landscape photographer Joshua Snow to talk about colour and light, and how to go the extra mile to use these elements to create truly unique landscapes.
I discovered Joshua on Instagram quite recently and his images and photographic style became an instant favourite of mine. Josh is a master of the epic landscape and during our conversation I came to learn just how he creates such unique images that really stand out in a genre of photography that is extremely difficult to be original in.
