An in-depth conversation about landscape photography. Host Frederick Van Johnson is joined by a panel of accomplished landscape photographers including Albert Dros, Elia Locardi & Bastian Werner.
Last fall, we produced a series of Fireside Chats for our AI Insider community. Hosted by Frederick Van Johnson from This Week in Photo, each session brought together amazingly talented photographers for an informal discussion of a specific genre of photography.
AI Insiders got the first look at this exclusive content. Starting this week, we'll release one per week to the general public. First up, Landscape Photography.
