Ep 44 - Expressive Photography with Alister Benn

In this episode I’ll be talking to Alister Benn about  his work and motivations along with a  range of other topics I hope you’ll find interesting.

Alister Benn lives and works in a secluded Glen on the west coast of Scotland with his wife Ann Kristin. He takes pleasure in sharing his thoughts with others, through his eBooks, video series and mentorships. He is a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society, a musician and composer and writer. He is mildly obsessed with watching birds!

Photography for Alister is so much more than an end product, and he believes the more we are focussed on that, the more elusive it will become. Creativity is hard to pin down, it refuses to be placed under the microscope, and observing it changes it. Our creativity lies in creative living; one of acceptance, non-judgement and freedom of speech. Our creativity is in there, desperate to get out, and who does the best job of stopping it? Yes, you guessed it, us!

We discuss his thoughts on creativity and how it relates to self worth and explore how he has established his business around the ability to express ourselves through photography along with a whole lot more!

I hope you enjoy the show!
