Travis Andersen - Ski photography in Bozeman, Montana

Welcome to Episode 121 of the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen podcast. This week's episode features a photographer living in Bozeman, Montana, Travis Andersen. I met up with Travis in person in his shop to talk all about, well, shop!Travis owns his own print lab called White Creek Art and does a knock out job of creating and printing ski posters for resorts all over the country. Travis and I covered a lot of fun ground this week, including:

• His journey as a landscape photographer and print lab owner.
• Ski photography.
• Panorama photography.
• A crazy story about how he started his own printing business.
• Breathing Color paper products for Epson printers.
• Attachment to our favorite images and how they are so hard to sell!
• Photographing with the intent to sell.
• Authenticity.
• Being a photographer as a busy family man... and lots more!

Over on Patreon, Travis and I shared stories from Yellowstone National Park and he shares an absolutely insane story about a Grizzly Bear attack!
