Welcome to episode 215 of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen!   This week's guest is <a href='https://www.camilleseaman.com/'>Camille Seaman</a>.   Camille was born in 1969 to a Native American father and African American mother. Her photographs have been published in National Geographic Magazine and countless other publications. Her photographs have received many awards including: a National Geographic Award, 2006; and the Critical Mass Top Monograph Award, 2007. She is a TED Senior Fellow as well as a Stanford Knight Fellow. I was so fortunate to be able to get Camille onto the podcast to have a rich conversation.   Camille and I cover a wide range of topics this week, including: <ul><li> How her unique upbringing as a Native American and African American influenced her photographic perspective. </li> <li> What challenges and or benefits has her race and gender played in her photographic career. </li> <li> How she became a photographer of the polar regions of planet earth. </li> <li> What aspiring photographers should do to make stronger work. </li> <li> Why the language we use that relates to photography is important. </li> <li> How the industry can change the status-quo of white male dominance. </li> <li> And lots more. </li> </ul> <p>Here's who Camille recommended for the podcast this week:</p> <ul><li><a href='https://www.edwardburtynsky.com/'>Edward Burtynsky</a>.</li> <li><a href='http://www.chrisjordan.com/gallery/rtn/#silent-spring'>Chris Jordan</a>.</li> <li><a href='http://www.wildcompasstours.com/'>Shayne McGuire</a>.</li> </ul> <p>Other items mentioned on the show:</p> <p>1. <a href='https://eddieadamsworkshop.org/'>Eddie Adams Workshop</a>.</p> <p>2. <a href='https://www.womenphotograph.com/'>Women Photograph Database</a>.</p> <p>3. <a href='https://naturallandscapeawards.com/'>Natural Landscape Photography Awards</a>.</p> <p>4.
