Studio C-41: 1 Hour Photo Podcast

Watch the interview on our YouTube Channel!

Coined as the "Ansel Adams" of the Everglades, Clyde Butcher is known for his amazing photography captured in the Everglades National Park in Florida. Clyde shares his story of how he got into photography and how he broke into a market that allowed photographic art to hang up in every household in America. He tells his heartbreaking story, which leads to a transition into being a primarily black and white photographer.

We share stories traveling through various national parks in the Midwest and capturing one of my favorite images at Badlands National Park. Lastly, we dive into some large format photography talk and learn why he likes to print BIG! Clyde has several books and just released his newest book, "The Everglades," on his website: https://clydebutcher.com/s/books-and-gifts/books/the-everglades-pre-order-sale/ 

Follow on Instagram and Facebook to read the many stories Clyde shares.

None of this is new to these manufacturers, the writing has been on the wall for years, once dismissed by Canon CEO Fujio Mitarai.

While the digital camera market questions its future, film photography has show significant growth as Kodak reports its film division experience 21% growth year-over-year.
