Hokkaido

Peter Eastway
Sometimes it’s good to swap sides of the desk and for this issue, we are interviewing Peter Eastway, who among many other things is Editor and Publisher of Better Photography Magazine. more
Lockdown Podcast #11
After featuring two articles on tripods recently, a review of travel tripods and a short overview of tripod spikes, I thought a general chat with Joe and David about their own experiences with tripods would make interesting listening more
Marco Sipriaso – Portrait of a Photographer
What I admire about Marco’s work is that it is a fresh reminder that expectations can pigeon-hole us as artists to only look for what we had pre-envisioned, whereas an approach like Marco’s can lead to discovering a whole new world of photography that can enrich us and occupy us for a lifetime. more
Trip Report – The Hebrides
I’ve wanted to visit Skye for around 35 years having visited Mull in my 20s. I had a bucket list of places I wanted to see and photograph on Skye more
End Frame: ‘Dance Off’ by Jeremy Barrett
I had admired his work for a while, his pictures often muted in colour and packed full of brooding moodiness. His woodland images always stood out, organising the chaos into constructive and beautiful ways, capturing fantastic scenes in stunning light. more

This approach has helped me to free myself from the limitations described above and to continue my photographic activity with renewed enthusiasm. more
Echoes of the Great War
In April 2016, Peter's exhibition "Echos of the Great War " opened at Weston Park in Sheffield and marked 100 years since the Battle of the Somme. Peter’s Great Uncle William Wyatt Bagshawe fought and died in the Somme and through retracing the footsteps of his great uncle, he took black and white photographs as the land as it is now. Suggesting the terrain of the frontline through details and abstractions. more
Yosemite
The moment the opportunity arose where I was able to visit Yosemite, I grabbed it with both hands and seized the chance. There was something about the place that had enticed me for decades, namely the work of Ansel Adams that had me transfixed to his books in a college library at the age of sixteen whilst working as a photography student. more
The Trees in my Photographs
This ethereal vision, the muffled sound of autumn and raindrops, of the wind in the leaves, gave off a sense of absolute peace, the same feeling that I constantly look for in my photographic experiences, among the same landscapes projected in this reality. more
End Frame: “The Barn” by Selden B Hill
This image on the cover of the book The Unpainted South caught my eye in a book shop in South Carolina in April 2019. more
