4×4 Portfolio
We’ve wanted to feature mini portfolio’s of images for some time and from next issue that is exactly what we plan to do. We’re not just after your ‘best’ images but we’re after a set of images that fit into a ‘theme’ of some sort; that hang together in a creative way, hopefully more than just geographic but that would be if the pictures are strong enough and ‘work’ together. Submitting Images If you want to submit images to the 4x4 more
Joe Cornish – Reader’s Questions
Just before Christmas we asked our readers for a bunch of questions that we could put to Joe Cornish when he visited next and the response was fantastic. more
Carbon to Carbon
David Chalmers, a product photographer who specialises in the drink industry, is also a landscape photographer and Joe Cornish recently interviewed him at the Woodend Creative Workspace. His recent work, and the major topic of the talk, is the use of carbon printing but with the extra twist of making the photographs from wood sourced from the copse that the photographs were taken in. We also asked David a few questions which are included below the video including some more
Camera Colour – First Tests
I’ve written about sensor colour in a previous issue of On Landscape under the title “The Myth of Universal Colour”. In that article I looked at the quite common preconception that if different cameras create pictures with different colours then these can be easily corrected in Photoshop. To recap the reasoning you need to know that ‘colour’ is a perceptual construct (i.e. it gets made up in our heads) which means that the colour red is not a property of more
Samantha Gibbons
We asked for some recommendations of people to interview on twitter last year and Samantha cropped up in a couple of recommendations. She very kindly agreed to answer the usual questions so... Can you tell me a little about your education, childhood passions, early exposure to photography and vocation? Growing up in the leafy suburbs in the northwest of England lent itself to my love of nature and my curiosity/passion for art and, especially, drawing. The more I immerse myself into more
South Africa with Joe Cornish
I have had a love affair with South Africa for many years and recently had the good fortune to visit a couple of areas that were virgin territory for me in the company of good friend, Joe Cornish. We visited the Drakensberg Mountains and the Wild Coast in Kwa-Zulu Natal. This article is the first of two and covers the Drakensberg Mountains. First, a little explanation of the area and it’s attraction to photographers. more
The Irish Light – Peter Cox
Peter Cox is a landscape photographer based in the south west of Ireland. He moved back from the USA, where he was following according to his own account a rather unsatisfactory career in computer technology, to his native Ireland in 2005. His dream was to make a living from landscape photography, a difficult goal in Ireland to say the least. Although Ireland has produced several world-class landscape photographers over the past decade, many of them still have to make more
What’s in Your Bag? Bruce Cairns
We met up with Bruce Cairns when we tagged along on a Joe Cornish and David Ward workshop to the Yorkshire Dales. Bruce already had his Sigma DP2 (which he reviewed for us in this issue) with a very lovely JLM L-Plate and Grip on his Gitzo tripod but he let us take a look around his bag which we video'd on our iPhone as well. Don't be fooled by the photograph to more
What’s in your bag?
A new regular feature for On Landscape is a look into the photographic rucksack. If you're anything like me this changes on a regular basis and depends on where you're going but it's always interesting to see what people take with them and how they organise it. The feature will come in two forms, a short video view or a photo gallery. If you want to send in your own WIYB feature please provide between two and four photos of more
Twelve Significant Photos
In this new regular post, Tim Parkin - our editor - will write about his own photography and things that are happening in the making of the magazine or his own wanderings with a camera. It seems quite a meme in recent years to draw on Ansel Adam's "Twelve significant photographs in one year is a good crop" and produce your own 'best of 20xx' and so I thought I'd take an alt and I've spent a good while trying more

The Coast – Various Arena Photographers
Various book reviews: Tony Worobiec, Trevor Crone, Paul Mitchell, Eva Worobiec & Susan Brown more
Nigel Clarke
This issue we're featuring a photographer local to both myself and Joe - Nigel Clarke also went on a one to one workshop with me to discover the pleasure and pain of large format photography. Since then he's been delving into platinum palladium too, to great effect. Can you tell me a little about your education, childhood passions, early exposure to photography and vocation? Much of my education has been more
Joe Cornish – Readers Questions
Just before Christmas we asked our readers for a bunch of questions that we could put to Joe Cornish when he visited next and the response was fantastic. In the end we recorded two hours of audio but to keep installments to a useful length (a lot of people say they listen to them over breakfast or during a commute) we've split it into half hour sections. So, a big thank you to Joe and everyone who submitted their questions and here's more
