In this episode of "F-Stop Collaborate and Listen," host Matt Payne interviews Jason Bradley, who discusses the collapse of Outdoor Photographer Magazine and the launch of his new publication, Wild Eye Magazine. Wild Eye is designed to fill the void left by Outdoor Photographer but aims to differentiate itself by not including gear reviews or basic how-to articles. Instead, it focuses on high-quality, curated portfolios in landscape, nature, wildlife, and underwater photography with a strong emphasis on conservation. Jason also runs a unique fine art print lab specializing in premium metal prints, which he describes as superior to typical metal prints in color and detail. The episode touches on the importance of community in photography, the challenges of managing multiple projects, and offers advice for photographers looking to get published. Jason also provides a special subscription offer for listeners.
