The Tripod Podcast - A Photography Show

The Tripod is a podcast about photography current events hosted by three leading voices in the photography education space: Matt Payne, Talor Stone, and David Thompson. Each episode, they dig into photography news while offering their own hot takes on the topics that really matter. Expect to hear lively discussion about emerging trends, industry controversy, gear developments, and the topics that photographers are actually discussing while out in the field. Matt brings a background in clinical psychology and a decade of experience hosting one of photography’s longest-running podcasts, F-Stop Collaborate and Listen, to shape a meaningful dialogue that offers listeners with clear takeaways to shape their own photography journey. He specializes in Colorado’s high country as well as small scene and abstract landscape photography. Talor brings the rigor of a Ph.D. scholar and a focus on visual storytelling to challenge status quo approaches and offer perspectives about how photography can do far more than just create beautiful images. She specializes in the polar regions and underwater photography with a diverse focus on landscapes, wildlife, and indigenous communities. David brings his mastery of composition and technique, paired with his deep roots in the American Southwest, to highlight the subtle but powerful artistry of a craft-first approach to photography. David specializes in desert landscapes and bayou landscapes with a focus on quiet, overlooked scenes shaped by light, form, and natural design. The result of this diverse blend is an exciting conversation that’s well-informed without taking itself too seriously, offering depth and nuance punctuated by jokes and hilarious stories from the field. New episodes drop bi-monthly. If you have a question or your own hot take, we want to hear it!
