In this episode of the TRVL° Photography podcast we sit down with Alister Benn, a Scottish-born landscape photographer and educator. Alister shares his personal story of mental health, travel, and photography, weaving his gained insights and experiences as a business man and ultimately a landscape photographer. He discusses how immersing yourself in nature and the creative process can support wellbeing, reduce stress, and nurture mind'less'ness. Drawing on his decades of teaching and traveling the world, Benn offers practical advice and reflective strategies for using photography not just as an art form, but as a tool for mental and emotional balance.He is the founder of Expressive Photography Ltd, a company dedicated to teaching photographers how to connect emotionally with landscapes and develop their own artistic voice. Benn has taught workshops worldwide, published essays, and created educational resources that emphasise personal expression over technical conformity. His work often explores the interplay between light, atmosphere, and mood, encouraging photographers to find meaning and narrative in their images.Through books, online resources, and immersive workshops, he continues to inspire photographers globally to embrace a more intuitive and reflective approach to landscape photography. Alister was awarded Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society (FRPS) in 2021.Find out more about Alister's work here – https://expressive.photography/On YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCILI7Qu2dfTE0iWHGvIPwqA& on IG – https://www.instagram.com/alister_benn/Cheers, and see you on the next episode.TRVL° Photographyhttps://trvlphotography.com/
