Turning Back from the Edge of the World
Overall the mood is quite dark and brooding. There is even a sense of melancholia, particularly if we bring our knowledge of these deserted, abandoned islands to the image itself. At St Kilda and Boreray we have reached the end of the world but we are not welcome. more
End Frame: Callanish Shadows by Wojciech Kruczynski
The only aspect allowed to move freely outside this circle is the energy flow. Where is it going and why? What other energy resides in the circle? Why are they there? more
Biblioscapes Reviews
A brief background to Biblioscapes. It is a lockdown side project I started back in April 2020 as a way of sharing a selection of the photobooks I own, offering people an opportunity to view the books as flick-through videos. more
Humans at Work
In the early 1980s, I graduated from Edinburgh University with an honours degree in Environmental Chemistry. My final year research dissertation examined chemical processes involved in the destruction of the ozone layer. I never went on to pursue a scientific career because, back then, environmentalism really wasn’t taken seriously and there were very few jobs that weren’t about trying to keep the big polluters just about on the right side of the law. more
The Karakoram by Colin Prior
This book and these photographs truly are the summits of Colin Prior’s lifelong journey of the imagination. Although it has taken more than 100 years, finally, Vittorio Sella’s baton has been well and truly passed on to Colin Prior. more
Paulo Valdivia
After talking to Paulo, and reflecting on the many interviews I’ve undertaken for On Landscape, it’s clear that for everyone inspired at an early age by a parent or relative, there will be others who come to photography later in life. It doesn’t really matter when you start making images or begin any new creative pursuit, so long as the timing is of your choosing, and you trust yourself. What comes across in our interview with Paulo is a more
Being Explored by the Landscape
Photography has also forced me to really look. The trees used to be just trees, bushes were bushes and in the sky, there could be clouds and maybe it rained. But now I see shapes, patterns and relationships. more
Photographing the Un-Grand Landscape
With a fine-tuned ability to see, photographic opportunities will inevitably increase; but that will be of small value unless there is a willingness to receive them with an open mind. more
End Frame: Gull’s Nest, Midsummer Eve, Isle of Skye by Bill Brandt
I saw this at an exhibition sometime in the 1980s and it made a deep impression on me. The nest in the foreground with its three eggs and a single feather has a wonderful sense of intimacy, of secrecy. more

The Last of the Leaves
All of the images were taken in Newcastle Emlyn in West Wales and document one of the parts of nature that I have always found beautiful - the period of time where the leaves are clinging on but will soon be gone. more
Red Land
Between beams of light the colour crimson from the soil of Katueté, a municipality located in the central area of the Department of Canindeyu, Paraguay it stands out among the plants that live and flourish in it. more
The Sea & The Salt
My portfolio is a collection of photos taken throughout the years in different countries. I tend to travel a lot, which essentially inspires me to create and eventually ended up finding my very own perception of each landscape I visit. more
Found Light in a Dark Time
With its remote glens, unforgiving rocky peaks and legends of beings who live in the wild and empty corries that lead deep into the heart of the Cuillin mountains, the Isle of Skye has been a refuge from the world this past year. more
The Perfect Landscaper’s Camera?
In all other respects the 100S is great news, a smaller packable camera backed up with a good well fleshed out lens system and with a modern and malleable sensor. more
