In this episode of The Photo Professor’s Office Hours, landscape photographer Mark Gardner joins Chris Wooley for a conversation about creating stronger landscape photographs. We talk about finding compelling subjects, working with light and weather, composition, focus stacking, lens choices, post-processing, and why preparation matters when the perfect moment only lasts a few seconds. Mark also shares why revisiting familiar locations can lead to better photographs and why you don’t need to travel to an iconic destination to make meaningful landscape images. Office Hours is a free live photography conversation focused on better decisions, better photographs, and plenty of questions along the way. *CHAPTERS* 00:00 Welcome & Introducing Mark Gardner 02:02 Mark's Photography Journey 08:02 Capturing the Moment: Light, Timing & Luck 12:40 Planning the Perfect Landscape Photograph 18:38 Camera Settings & Focus Stacking 21:25 Composition & Guiding the Viewer's Eye 25:13 Choosing Lenses for Landscape Photography 35:08 Revisiting & Reworking Old Photographs 37:23 What Makes a Great Landscape Photograph? 46:13 Planning for Extraordinary Conditions 49:55 Selling Landscape Photography 53:06 Photography Workshops & Learning in the Field 58:37 Final Thoughts & Advice
