In this episode, Joe Cornish and I talk to Jan Töve about his journey as a photographer, discussing his influences, the evolution of his work, and the impact of nature and chaos theory on his artistic vision. more
What the next iteration or chapter of WYRE will be remains to be seen. Recently, I’ve been drawn more to the areas around the forest. more
From my first day with a camera, I was bewitched, besotted. The beauty of the landscape was magnified overnight. I saw the landscape through entirely different eyes. An artist's eyes. Light, colour, darkness. more

The photograph invites questions without offering answers. Who are these people? A couple with their child? Relatives? Domestics of a wealthy Venetian family? What are their thoughts? more
The Aspen is a real treasure of a tree species from North America. I should probably be more specific and say that Quaking Aspen (Populus tremuloides) is a real treasure, as although we have Aspen across Europe, it is the European Aspen (Populus tremula). (There are also aspen in Asia, different species in Korea and China, which I will mention briefly later.) more
Welcome to our 4x4 feature, which is a set of four mini landscape photography portfolios which has been submitted by Brian Uchiyama, Nadav Knaan, Peter Berlinghof & Tom Townsend. more
Over the last few years, I've become intrigued with the uniqueness and character of trees in various settings and locales, including at times the same set of trees in differing times and weather conditions. more

I think we have all become tired of it. The algorithms, the endless tweaking of hashtags, and the feeling that our creativity was being filtered through a faceless server farm— the gatekeeper who decides if our work is worthy of being seen. more

The Hudson River School’s artists viewed nature as a manifestation of the divine and strove to represent it as faithfully as possible, until different painters brought their own artistic vision and influences, which at times created interesting contrasting philosophies. more
Once, as a society, we cherished the “Kodak Moment,” a marketing masterstroke that now feels quaint, a victim of what I’ll call photobesity: a deluge of snapshots made so mindlessly and frequently that they’ve devolved into pullulating yottabytes of digital dross. more
