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
We see so many great photographs from talented photographers these days, in books, magazines and social media feeds, that it becomes hard to single out any favourites which stand out from the rest, but occasionally I'll see an image that I still remember a few months later. 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
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
Captured over the winter of 2025, these images were made with an infrared camera in pouring rain, from inside my car. more

This painting by Albert Bierstadt, created in the 1860s, exists somewhere between a real inspiration drawn from the Rocky Mountains, which he genuinely explored, and a reconstructed, almost dreamlike vision. more
For Magnus, childhood treasure hunts fostered a lifelong curiosity about nature and a deep appreciation of friendship. Competitive instincts were there too and helped to spark a deep interest in birdwatching, which has undoubtedly gone on to shape his vision as a photographer. more

For more than thirty years, I have wandered the aspen forests of North America, learning their secrets as one learns the quirks and stories of kin. more
I hadn't realized just how many steps of the photographic creative process were being removed by digital. Focusing, exposure adjustments, and not having to give a fig about how many photos you can take, to name a few. more
Looking back into the darkness of The Killing Time does not bring answers; we still live in dark times and are still making the same horrific mistakes; the shadows of division, intolerance and brutality follow us today. more
How to approach the over-photographed landscape and get beyond the fear of producing yet another cliche - or worse - a postcard! The trouble with the Peak District’s Dove Valley is that it is just too darned pretty for its own good. Its inclusion in Izaak Walton’s ‘The Compleat Angler’, first published in 1653, put it on the map of ‘must see destinations’ for every well-bred gentleman (and woman) who had both the ability to read and the resources to more

I’ve followed this project with interest Margaret as there are so many parallels with my own creative motivations and outputs. Although it’s very unlikely I will see the actual works, I completely understand their creation resulting from a contemplative approach. To live and work in such an inspiring location must bring [...]

Hello Adam, for matt papers, yes, sometimes a little additional brightness…and often some contrast/clarity is required… to recreate the equivalent of what might be termed the "native" screen image. I still like to use the soft proofing filter in Photoshop to emulate the effect of moving from screen to print. It's [...]
