Abstraction in Photography
Appreciation of abstract photography also requires a degree of openness on the part of viewers—a willingness to allow an abstract image to impart its intended effect, rather than just to serve as a means of portraying recognisable objects or scenes. more
Andy Holliman
Here at On Landscape we're always keeping an eye out for interesting, personal projects, particularly ones that work outside of the usual photogenic subjects. more
Eigg without Rùm
The island of Eigg is the second largest and most populous of the Small Isles located off the west coast of Scotland south of Skye. From the mainland and arriving by sea Eigg is impossible to mistake with its towering rock prow of volcanic origin: An Sgurr more
Stay longer, look closer, dig deeper
I've followed Eliot's work since Steve Coleman interviewed him back in 2015. Eliot's work has been prolific since then, working on different collaborations and projects, whilst exploring different mediums for expressing his work; from handmade books, printed books, and his most challenging project "Country Made of Dirt". more
In Celebration of Projects
The mandatary ‘lockdown’ of March/April 2020 enabled me to look again very much closer to home but this time venturing in a different geographical direction, one that followed sandy narrow trails, quite at odds with the rocky greater forest around them. more
End frame: Cape Light – Joel Meyerowitz
We are all exposed to a massive amount of photography, growing at an exponential rate, but how many of these images ever really stick with us? How many have the profound effect that the artist probably hoped for? How many times have you viewed an image that changed your life? more
William Neill – “Light on the Landscape”
If you ever think “what would Ansel Adam’s work be like if he’d taken up colour photography instead of black and white?” then the answer is, depressingly, pretty bad as his short trial of early colour film goes to show. If he’d used colour film from a young age and developed his craft I don’t think he would have been too far from what we see from William Neill. more
Photographing gardens designed by Sir Humphry Repton
You might be lucky and the commission is to photograph an area you know well and have lots of insider knowledge about best times and weather conditions and the client has lots of time for you to choose the best day to visit. more
Walking through the Ampezzo Dolomites
I was clear on what story I wanted to tell and I was clear on how I should do it. I worked with “tilt&shift” architectural lenses; for me, these were no longer mountains, but sculptures more
Jan Gray
If I think about it, photography was probably waiting, silently in a corner, for me to get to a stage where I could become a lifelong partner with it. If I’d chatted it up earlier, it would probably have become a passionate but transient fling. more
Portrait of a Photographer – Eric Bennett
It has become quite apparent to me that Eric’s goal with his photography is purely selfless – he wishes to inspire the world to take better care of wild places. more
Quiet
"Quiet", Margaret Soraya’s solo exhibition opens at the Taunus Gallery in Frankfurt on Saturday 31st Oct and runs through until January 2021. more
Hal Gage
Being an artist has meant not steering my creativity to push an agenda. I think Ansel Adams had his internal turmoil about keeping his motives pure: even after becoming a de facto spokesman for the Sierra Club where he lobbied Congress on environmental matters more
Is Pictorialism a dirty word?
Is it a style of photography that you look down on? It is associated with a particular period, but we are still influenced by it. more
