10 years as a Professional Landscape Photographer
The anniversary is a great time to look back at the past period. What has changed? And what will the future bring? Although I am under no illusion of being complete, I would like to mention some developments in landscape photography that stand out for me. more
Greina Pass
The constantly changing climate has created a landscape that made me nostalgic for the mountainous areas of the UK. At certain points in the pass, you’d come across weathered mars-like rocky structures, boggy swampland and deep carved out gorges. more
End frame: Earthrise by Bill Anders, Apollo 8, 1968
The astronauts (and everybody around them) were dutifully machine-like in their approach to the mission, but it wasn’t until they were more relaxed that they were able to appreciate a different perspective altogether. more
A Look at AI Image Generation
Firstly, a little context and background for just what artificial intelligent image creation actually means, and it’s quite different to how people might imagine it. more
Artificial Art
The real question—the more troubling question by far–is not whether AI creations are or are not, will or will not be, considered as art, but what we stand to lose as human beings, in terms of human experience, by allowing for such creations to be considered as art. more
Cath Gothard
If I were forced to choose a favourite season to photograph the park, then it would have to be spring. It’s such an optimistic season, with new life emerging from the slumber of winter. more
Bearing Witness
If we are looking for more meaningful and rewarding experiences and to make photos that are creative and self-expressive, then I would argue there may be times when the camera should never come out of the bag. more
Photography and the Arc of Human Progress
The last 20 years have seen more change to photography than the 150 years prior, and, with no sign of advancement slowing down, the next ten will yield just as much change as the last 20, and so on and so forth. more
End frame: Colour transect #19, 57.868º N by Niall Benvie
One of the things I have learned from Niall recently is not to be frightened of using words in photos. Particularly if you are communicating a message, one or a few words can ensure that the message is not missed or misunderstood. more
Wood, stream and pool
In my city, lost between these ambiguous, transitional border-spaces, there is a small woodland that is barely 1 kilometre square, a stream about 4 kilometres long and a pool used by the municipal fishing club. more
Mieke Boynton – Portrait of a Photographer
In this article, I hope to convey how Mieke’s approach to photography has elevated her work, how her immeasurable passion and aptitude for aerial photography have differentiated her from her peers, and how her desire to honour the Aboriginal people of Australia has given her work purpose. more
Review of ‘22
Ansel Adams famously wrote that twelve significant photographs in any one year is a good crop. Significant is obviously the key word here. I am the kind of person who feels Eeyore is dangerously over optimistic. So, hoping that I will make twelve notable images seems very ambitious. more
Your favourite images
In our end of year issue, Joe Cornish wrote about his favourite images of 2022 and we also asked our subscribers to send in their favourite images from 2022. We were overwhelmed by the response, with contributions from all corners of the world and almost 100 contributions. So in addition to David Ward's selection from 2022, we have a giant gallery from our subscribers below. Thank you so much for responding to our request, the images are amazing and we more
Rene Algesheimer
If the sum of the whole can be greater than its parts, then René Algesheimer has plenty to draw on, with a skill set that encompasses music and mathematics, a highly relevant contemporary specialism, and considerable passion for both the visual arts and written word. Working almost exclusively on projects, René tends – contrary to what we are encouraged to do by social media – to more
Photographic Glossaries
As I read through the glossaries in Landmarks, it was impossible not to relate their spellbinding power back to the expressive potential of photography and contemplate how the concept of a place word glossary might relate to the curation of image collections. more
