363: Kent Burkhardsmeier - Merging Poetry with Photography F-Stop Collaborate and Listen

    • Bildende Kunst

Welcome to another captivating episode of "F-Stop Collaborate and Listen," with your host, Matt Payne. Today we're joined by Kent Burkhardsmeier, a landscape photographer and poet whose appreciation for nature's whispers inspires his unique blend of photography and poetry. In this episode, Kent takes us on a journey through his transformation from a corporate world veteran to embracing a nomadic lifestyle driven by his passion for capturing minimalist landscapes and quiet moments. We'll uncover how living across various countries shaped his artistic vision, leading him to self-publish photo books like "Stillness" and "Awareness" from his "Whispers from Nature" series.
Kent shares the profound experience of creating photo poem books, a meditative exploration where each image is coupled with a poem, and the logistical challenges of self-publishing. He reflects on the personal and global events that shape his work, emphasizing authenticity and the personal connection with his art over external validation.
With Kent's tales of his RV travels throughout North America and details about his upcoming solo exhibition "Invite Nature Inside with Whispers," you're in for an episode that's as insightful as it is inspiring. His commitment to collaboration, whether through his photographic collective in South Florida or working alongside other artists, shows how synergy can lead to transformational art.
So, grab your favorite headphones, settle in, and let's delve into the world where photography and poetry intersect, with the profound insights and serene artistry of Kent Burkhardsmeier. Get ready to be inspired to find your own whispers in nature.Links discussed on the podcast this week:
