Moving Day
But what about the photography? Has that been as satisfyingly enjoyable as the lifestyle? In a word? No. Mist is a thing of the past. more
Dune Fatigue
It's not to say many if not most of the images aren’t beautiful, they certainly are. But, it’s the worn out subject matter that has me tired and questioning. Why are so many photographers limiting themselves to such popular subject matter and places? more
Finding Calm
I’ve often been told that my images portray a sense of calm and maybe that’s a result of what I find rewarding in an image or what my eye is naturally drawn to. more
End frame: Iceberg, Fjallsarlon, Iceland by Paul Wakefield
I said at the beginning that this is an image that remains very clearly in my head, and this, in our current world of visual overload, of itself says all that needs to be said about the impact this image has had on me. more
History of Art and Landscape – Part Three
In this installment of my history of landscape painting, I'm taking a look at one of the most artistically creative periods for landscape in early European history and that is the Dutch Golden Age. more
Julien Fumard
Before travelling I had all sorts of preconceived ideas on many topics. You know, having an unlimited access to culture can sometimes make you feel like you know a lot of things but in the end, you don’t really know anything until you live it. more
Alfredo Mora – Portrait of a Photographer
He was going out into the landscape with specific expectations and placed all his value on the final image instead of the actual experience of being out in nature – undermining his very intent for taking up photography in the outdoors, to begin with. more
Winds of Change
After Britain’s exit from the European Union, many have wondered what Britain’s place in the world is, what it should be and what it could become? more
Scenes from the Lounge
Most of the photographs have been made from inside the lounge looking out, or just outside the lounge from one of the two balconies looking over the view of the tourist town of Queenstown, the magnificent Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkable Mountain range beyond. more
Landscape Poetography
I’ve wondered about poets. It seems they were a little more prominent in days gone by, before mass media, commercialism and screens took over all our minds. more
End frame: Dukan Lake, 1974 Kurdistan Region, Iraq by Bruno Barbey
I found it in a bookshop in 1998 even though I was broke I bought it, love at first sight. I realise that this book has deeply influenced me. I can almost see a little bit of my photography in every photograph in the book, inspiring me and moving me. more
Book Reviews
The luxury of having more time to prepare an interview with a photographer is that I can spend a bit of time trying to find any publications they’ve produced in order to get more background information. In Claude Fiddler’s case, I found two of his previous publications and managed to get them delivered quite quickly. more
The Deed and the Glory
What I couldn’t know was how living as an artist, spending more time outdoors, investing more time in experiences and in pursuit of personal interests, and making do with less income, would change me as a person. more
Flash and Medieval Art
Connecting blue and red on a single frame can be interpreted as the warmth of the fire and the cold of the night. This motif has pursued people since prehistory. In general the night is full of similar contrasts. more
Inside the High Sierra
I’ve been photographing in the High Sierra for 35 years and I feel the body of work is significant. I haven’t changed the way I work over that timeframe. more
