In this episode of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen, Matt Payne interviews landscape photographer Fiona McLean, who, along with her colleague Viktoria Haack, founded Women Photographers Canada to address barriers facing female photographers, including safety concerns, lack of companionship, and feeling unwelcome. They discuss how these issues, along with challenges like childcare, cultural conditioning, and financial constraints, limit women's participation in photography. Fiona reflects on her personal journey through grief and burnout, finding healing in nature and photography. The conversation also delves into evolving photography styles, the importance of supporting women in male-dominated fields, and Fiona's future plans to conduct women-only workshops to foster a more inclusive community.Photographer's Mentioned:
