Welcome to our 4x4 feature, which is a set of four mini landscape photography portfolios which has been submitted by Julian Cartwright, Luke Sutton, Tom Richardson & Tom Townsend more
I am a retired banker who has had a life-long passion for photography, first with film and now with digital cameras. It is hard for me to articulate what draws me to certain subjects. Light, patterns, contrasts, among others all play their part but many times the scene and possible image just “speak” to me. Whether it is people, street scenes, trees and running streams more
These four shots are a small part of a larger collection of images taken in the limestone area around Kingsdale in The Yorkshire Dales. more
Four iconic mountains from across the West Highlands of Scotland over the course of 2025, captured in moments of space and light. more
Having just taken delivery of a new telephoto lens, I was keen to try it out on the hill where I live, Shropshire's Clee Hill. more
Award-winning photographer Stephen Ball brings Scotland's wild beauty to life in a stunning new Edinburgh exhibition Few places can rival Scotland for dramatic scenery.

This summer, visitors to Edinburgh have the opportunity to experience those remarkable scenes through the eyes of one of Scotland's most celebrated landscape photographers. The new exhibition by photographer Stephen Ball presents more than 35 fine more
Some of the most joyful moments in photography are when someone quietly makes beautiful, insightful, communicative work, they enter without any ego, and they are celebrated. more
With 276 participants, we received a good response to the survey. We are also particularly pleased with the comments made by many respondents beyond the scope of the questions; these are at least as valuable as the answers themselves. more
2026 will mark the 4th year of travelling full time with my wife, Nicola, in our VW Transporter Campervan. So far, we have visited 22 different countries, as far north as Norway and down south to Greece. We have parked up in some incredible locations, met some wonderful people and had the odd breakdown or three. And all while trying to eke out some kind of living from travel writing and photography. And yet, despite the challenges, there’s nowhere else more
Looking at the spreadsheets in early 2025, it was pretty clear that the hold up was all in my head; most of my income no longer directly depended on monetising my adventures, but a lingering freelancer scarcity mindset made it hard to let go of this. more

Now nicknamed "that tree guy" by followers, he repeatedly walks the paths of Ontario’s Oak Ridges Moraine, evolving his personal technique to better represent the experience of moving through the woods that he calls home. more

After a week of nice weather at the end of April, May started with a spattering of rain and built up through the month. Working in the rain isn’t too bad occasionally, but going out day after day in the rain does get a bit tiring. more
I have been photographing the coast of the Outer Hebrides for maybe 17 years now, travelling back and forth at first for wedding photography bookings and lingering as long as I could afterwards. Holidays with my boys taken on the islands so I could be there to photograph …. any excuse really to be on the Hebrides. I moved there three years ago and built my gallery at my home in Geocrab a year later. It is now such more
Photography is about creating, recording the experience of our time outside, conveying a message we find important, or sharing emotions we might otherwise have a hard time bringing to the surface. more

Excellent article - seeing the positives in every situation instead of becoming downcast. We're in the midst of dire weather here in Wester Ross. It feels like we've had about 50 'training days' in a row. I've always called them training days after someone called a particularly dreich day a 'wasted [...]

on What to Do When Things Are Not Working Out
Thank you for the comment, Madeleine. I typically try to minimize my research in advance of photo trips so I can approach the landscape with an open mind. Additionally, photographers seem to romanticize their experiences so the accounts I read about this region only glamorized it. Going into the trip, I [...]

Thank you very much for your thoughtful comment, Joe! Seems we have both been thinking about meaning in art recently. (It is one of the primary themes in my book, Be Extraordinary, whose title was inspired by the words of painter Francis Bacon, derived from existentialist philosophy: "It’s all so meaningless, we [...]
