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
Colin Westgate’s rather lovely image Island in the Mist is right on the edge of that minimalist/abstract divide. There are perhaps two clear hooks that anchor the picture in reality. more
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 has developed a technique which frequently uses exaggerated camera movements, and for which the recorded image is merely the starting point more

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
A Long Ride South
Ten years ago, at a time where I had a Canon Eos and a passing interest in photography & a personal challenge to ride (horses not bikes!) from John O’ Groats to Lands End. more
Endframe: Upper Torridon, Winter Dawn by Joe Cornish
The midground provides a delicate connection between the upper and lower regions of the frame, with the two crops of land almost ‘reaching out’ to each other. more
Bye, Bye Landscape Photography, Dear
Sheer populousness is often a sign that something has peaked, and that its exciting, pioneering days are over. Given how varied the world is, and how different people are, I wondered: why do so many landscape photographs look exactly the same more
