Reclaiming a Natural Landscape, with Jad...

About this episode

What is the role of landscape photography in a post-industrial world?

In today’s podcast, we consider some possibilities in a chat with Jade Doskow, current photographer in residence for Staten Island’s Freshkills Park, and Cal Flyn author of the book Islands of Abandonment.

While our two guests work in different disciplines, which leads to divergent approaches to the pictures they make, their shared purpose tells similar stories.

Among the topics we discuss are a distinction between romantic landscapes of the past and a more ambivalent attitude to the subject today, and a photographer’s responsibility to make pictures that go beyond merely decorative intent. You’ll also discover how dedication to a fine art passion project can lead to career advancement through paid assignments.

Join us for this fascinating discussion about recording the gradual process between post-industrial decay and engineered regeneration, or other states of rewilding

Guests: Jade Doskow & Cal Flyn
