In Praise of Film Pinhole Photography
Film pinhole photography has been prominent in this recent resurgence; the lensless “look”, when recorded on film, has attracted many to this relatively cheap form of photography. more
Treasured Lands, Book Review
QT Luong's project to photograph all 59 US National Parks couldn’t come at a more opportune moment. The current government of the US has proposed many reductions in the scale & protection of the National Parks more
Returning to Landscape Photography
It is often too easy to ignore the landscape we see around us every day. It is common to feel the need to travel to be inspired to photograph. Once out of our home surroundings we feel enthused by the unfamiliar and by a concept of the ‘other’ more
Bark Art
When you look at trees close-up, it is almost disconcerting the extent to which they are not hard inanimate solids, but almost flesh-like, delicate and vulnerable. more
Thomas Peck’s Critiques
I make no apologies for focussing on Marc Adamus in this article. A photographer who, in every sense of the word (awe, majesty, grandeur, fear etc), makes Sublime images. more
A Change of Format
Apparently, film photography is making a comeback. Actually, it never went away, but in the same way that vinyl record sales are booming again, there is definitely a resurgent interest in film photography. more
Atchafalaya Basin, Louisiana
The cypress trees of the Atchafalaya in Southwest Louisiana are the major stars in a scene about as different as I could have chosen to photograph next, but every bit as elegant, and as humbling. more
Thomas Peck’s Critiques

The Workshop Experience
I was finally booked onto a residential workshop, my first, with Thomas Joshua Cooper at Peter Goldfield's Duckspool in Somerset. I'm not sure who or what I was expecting. more
Warped Topographies
Maybe obsessiveness is the essential to 'art' and creativity. Art not only creates a reaction and provokes a response in the viewer but it can also reveal truths about oneself as the creator. more
Wild camping in The Shetland Isles
For anyone looking to photograph somewhere a bit more off the beaten track, The Shetlands offer up something different, and with the low number of tourists you can have the place to yourself for days on end. more
Andy Gray
Andy Gray has developed a technique which frequently uses exaggerated camera movements, and for which the recorded image is merely the starting point more
Why I love my iPhone for landscape photography
I think that the French painter and sculptor Jean Dubuffet (1901-1985) would approve of the iPhone in the making of art. Dubuffet eschewed traditional aesthetics in favour of what eventually became known as art brut, or outsider art. more
Thomas Peck’s Critiques
Living just next to Epping Forest I have always been fascinated by images of trees. They can be wonderfully expressive things. Not easy to photograph, though. Too chaotic, seemingly random, difficult to isolate from surroundings. more
Endframe: ‘Four trees, Rannoch Moor’ 1981 By Fay Godwin
When I received Charlotte's email asking me to consider writing an End Frame article for On Landscape a swirl of photographs immediately began to spin as if in a washing machine in my mind. more
