Frank Otto Pedersen’s photographic journey is one of quiet transformation. In this webinar, he reflects on his evolution from the expansive scale of astrophotography to a more intimate and expressive approach to landscape work—one rooted in observation, emotion, and personal connection to place. Growing up in a small, deeply religious island community in southern Norway, Frank Otto brings a unique perspective to his work. He shares how his upbringing continues to shape the way he experiences nature, approaches creativity, and interprets the landscapes he photographs. This conversation explores more than technique. It’s about how vision develops over time—how we move from photographing what impresses us to creating images that feel personal and meaningful. If you’ve felt your own work shifting—or want it to—this webinar offers an honest look at what that evolution can look like.
