Out of Darkness – Book Review
Alister Benn is Scottish by birth and has lived in the Highlands of Scotland for quite some time. Firstly on the Isle of Skye and latterly in mainland Lochaber. And yet his first book is a deep dive project into the remote Gobi desert in Northern China. more
Brian Pollock – Portrait of a Photographer
His work from the Scottish Highlands is superb and drips with a personal flair that can only come from the deep connections made through care, effort, and passion. more

In 2020, when we completed our final workshop commitments to Iceland, having given ourselves 3 years to refocus our photography practice, I realised I was exploring not the landscape itself but the relationship of man with the place more
Kettle Moraine
The Northern Unit of the Kettle Moraine State Forest is a pocket of green surrounded by agricultural land. With 12,150 hectares and a number of trails, the forest provides numerous opportunities to explore. more
End-frame “Forrest Bench” by Lyle Gomes
Photographer, Jonathan Chritchley, put me on the track of Lyle Gomes. This picture is on the cover photograph of the book “Imagining Eden: Connecting Landscapes.” The book contains photographs made over a sixteen-year period from locations in America and Europe. more
Natural Landscape – Volume Two
Creating the first Natural Landscape book was a bit of an epic task. All of the decisions about overall design, font choices, typography etc all had to be made in advance of even starting to populate the book with images. more
