I started visiting woodlands with my camera at a time when I needed a place to reflect on life. This was at the time when the leaves had already fallen, making visible the underlying structures created by the branches and vines. more
Niall Benvie’s Retrospective
Style is something endemic rather than acquired or cultivated. It emerges once you’ve worked through all the external influences that inform your work as you’re making your way. more
Tides and Tempests
I don’t think Tides and Tempests would be happening this year if it weren’t for lockdown and a broken shoulder, both of which kept me at home and gave me time to concentrate on the book. more
Solo Exhibition
Ellie has been working in UK forests for the past ten years, making work which explores the complex interrelationship between the landscape and the individual. more
The Hydrocarbon Forest

Flowerbulbs (tulips, narcissus, etc) have been grown in Holland since 1590. Demand for these living colours increased so much around 1634 that bulbs were sold and resold while still in the ground. more
Landscapes of Rochdale
Obviously due to the coronavirus lockdown, these trips are not possible so I am limited to a 1 hour roundtrip walk from my home. more
The Curve
The theme of this set of images is the curve. They all have a curved line leading the eye through the scene. All of these locations are in Assynt & Coigach and are areas I have revisited many times over recent years. more
A Sense of Loss
This 4x4 portfolio was triggered by a recent On Landscape podcast discussion in which David Ward stated that Iceland was his choice for ‘currently-free from tourists’ location images and that he and Joe made their first visits there in 1999. more
