So what is it about those abstracts as landscapes that are so appealing, and how might that meaning be interpreted? more
End frame: South Stack Lighthouse, Holy Island, Anglesey 1978, Denis Thorpe
Still photographing in his late eighties from his home in Stockport, England, Denis Thorpe’s landscape images demonstrate the power that derives from locating them within the context of a broad range of other photographic genres. more
Sacred Forests
There’s a special place in the heart of Italy, right between Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna regions. Far from the iconic places in the country like the Dolomites, Val d’ Orcia, Cinque Terre and so on, but full of great natural views and photographic inspirations.

‘Desert Island Discs’ is a long running BBC Radio 4 series that was first broadcast on what was then the BBC Forces Programme on the 29th January 1942, with its first guest being Vic Oliver, actor and radio comedian.

To me, his photography encompasses an absolute mastery of the technical side of the medium with a strong sense of emotion more
Interview with David Magee
My earliest memories are of being by the sea. It is alive, it has a voice and a beating heart. It is a literal force of Nature. Every time I’m close to the sea I feel a calming sense of serenity and security. Especially the coastline of West Cork. more
Metaphysics & the Rückenfigur
The reason that I’ve approached the photograph in this way is that it reminds me so much of one of the masterpieces of German Romanticism, Caspar David Friedrich’s Wanderer over the Sea of Fog (1818 more
