Ep 207 - Madeleine Lenagh: Expressive Photography and the Emotional Landscape

Madeline Lanagh brings a deeply personal and artistic voice to the world of landscape photography. Starting her photographic journey later in life after a career and retirement in The Netherlands, she speaks candidly about the creative awakening that followed the publication of her autobiography in 2015—a moment that led her to fully embrace expressive photography.

In this episode, Madeline explores the emotional depth behind her images and how her work has shifted from sweeping vistas to more intimate and abstract representations of the natural world. She discusses her evolving style, shaped by introspection and a desire to photograph beyond what the eye sees. Her book on the Seacoast’s moods, experimental processes like cyanotypes and photo caustics, and her role as an ambassador for Nature First underscore her commitment to both personal authenticity and environmental responsibility.

With a background steeped in writing, a lifetime of observation, and a strong artistic lineage, Madeline offers a perspective that’s rich in both wisdom and curiosity. This conversation is a heartfelt exploration of the intersection between creativity, self-expression, and a reverent relationship with nature.

I hope you enjoy the show!
