Margaret Soraya
My affinity with Scotland is deep, and I feel that relationship is important. There is something powerful about photographing a place that means something to you. more
The Cost of Convenience
While recently reading a monograph on a Harry Callahan exhibit the writer mentioned the process of making an image with an 8 x 10 view camera. I thought of how much photography has changed over the decades and began to wonder how those changes have impacted the photographs we make today, for better or for worse. more
Landscape Photography and the Meaning of Life
How effective we are at making meaningful landscape photographs is determined by our ability to forge, recognise and express meaningful connections between our lives and the landscapes we travel through. more
End frame: Tidal Creek at Schiermonnikoog by Theo Bosboom
I would recommend everyone to go through the process of choosing a single 'end frame' image. It turns out to be an excellent, almost cathartic, exercise of reflection. more
Cleveland Hills, Winter Storm
These are far from widely recognised places. Only a local would know where the pictures were made. Creatively this can work in our favour…it may be this makes these photographs more open to personal interpretation. more
The Natural Landscape Photography Awards
If anybody has been reading On Landscape on and off over the last decade, you’ll know I’ve written about competitions a few times. The idea of competitive art seems anathema somehow but I think we can all understand the desire to see how your work would be judged by your peers... more
Luke Brown
I was interested in discovering man’s influence over the landscape, up until the very edges of our coastline, wanting to highlight the conflict between the natural and man-made environment. more
Pastel Mirrors in the Unreal Landscape
This is not the ‘beauty of the banal’ often associated with the New Topographics, but nor is it the grandiose statements of the straight photographers. Instead of metaphorically pointing dramatically at what is being seen, Cody’s images reflect on what the photographer has felt in the landscape. more
Don’t Destroy the Cypress Swamp Experience!
There is no better place to be explored by a kayak, than these swamps. One just glides effortlessly and silently through a magical wonderland, chooses his own route, his own tempo. more
Mystical
A mossy labyrinth of gnarled roots and twisted branches, it instantly felt like I was on the film set of Star Wars in the Dagobah woodland which was inhabited by Yoda. more
End frame: “A Walk in Mionsi” by Josef Sudek
It’s a strange feeling when you come across a photograph that really echoes your own personal vision as a photographer. Especially so when the picture in question was made before you were even born.... more

Canyon Lake (Arizona)
Arizona boasts several picturesque valleys, mountains, and jagged cliffs that are well worth capturing. However, one of the most beautiful vistas I have seen has to be Canyon Lake, just one hour's drive from Phoenix. more
Foggy Forest
I believe this type of photography brings out the expressionist painter in all of us. more
Landscapes of the Soul
I found myself starting to see "home" in a different context. The abundance of water and the open and wide character of Friesland make it a place for me, a landscape in which I feel at home. more
