I’m Grant Swinbourne and I’ll be your host on this show discussing the world of landscape photography. In future shows I’ll be talking to some of the best landscape photographers that inspire me. We’ll be getting to know them better and talk to them about their inspirations and motivations, how they’ve developed their style and what they do and don’t like about being a photographer. I’m keen to explore with you the art of landscape photography, composition, the use of tone and colour with maybe a little tech talk along the way. What I’m aiming for is to give you a glimpse into the world of landscape photography from the perspective of some of the best landscape photographers out there. I hope you enjoy the show!","last_synced_at":"2026-06-24T08:18:10.020553+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/landscape-photography-world-4099268"},"episode":{"title":"Ep 235 - Leaving Social Media, Slowing Down and Creating Landscape Photography with Jon Norris","slug":"ep-235-leaving-social-media-slowing-down-and-creating-landscape-photography-with-jon-norris","published_at":"2026-01-27T17:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/landscape-photography-world-4099268/ep-235-leaving-social-media-slowing-down-and-creating-landscape-photography-with-jon-norris","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/landscape-photography-world-4099268","url":"https://landscapephotographyworld.podbean.com/e/ep-235-leaving-social-media-slowing-down-and-creating-landscape-photography-with-jon-norris/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/i8dqqmuwe7cqn9dy/LPW_S3E235.mp3","summary":"Jon Norris is a seasoned landscape photographer whose approach blends technical precision with thoughtful artistic intent. First picking up a camera at 14, Jon’s creative path has been shaped by his background as a former aerospace engineer, giving him a deep understanding of both the mechanics and the meaning behind an image. Based in Southern California, Jon spends much of his time exploring and photographing places like Joshua Tree National Park. His philosophy centres on slowing down, learning to truly see, and building the confidence to create images that feel personal rather than camera-driven. For Jon, landscape photography is not about chasing icons, but about developing consistency, intention, and a visual voice that reflects the photographer behind the lens. In this conversation, Jon discusses balancing a demanding corporate career in aviation with a long-term passion for photography, eventually reshaping his priorities around creativity and personal fulfilment. He shares insights into teaching workshops, navigating increasing restrictions in protected landscapes, and why he chose to step away from social media to reconnect with authentic creative practice. Jon also explores his growing interest in medium format film, the value of setting personal photographic goals, and the responsibility photographers carry to protect the wild places that inspire their work. His perspective is grounded, reflective, and refreshingly honest. I hope you enjoy the show!
