In this instalment, Joe Cornish and Tim Parkin edited each other's raw files in Lightroom as a way of looking at real world techniques and strategies more
Standing before Ian McKeever’s monumental black and white photographs of the Avebury stones, one becomes aware less of landscape than of bodily scale, of weight, surface, proximity and time. more
