Alfredo Mora – Portrait of a Photographer
He was going out into the landscape with specific expectations and placed all his value on the final image instead of the actual experience of being out in nature – undermining his very intent for taking up photography in the outdoors, to begin with. more
The Deed and the Glory
What I couldn’t know was how living as an artist, spending more time outdoors, investing more time in experiences and in pursuit of personal interests, and making do with less income, would change me as a person. more

don’t intentionally chase excitement or thrill from doing landscape photography, although I certainly enjoy those moments when they show up! Quite the opposite, I am doing landscape photography because it lets me slow down and I can take my time to observe, discover, and create. more
Richard Martin – Portrait of a Photographer
By adopting and recognising the concept of Wabi Sabi in nature, Richard is able to find stories worth telling in a way that differentiates his work. more
Regarding Passion
It is the journey, not the destination, which is most important to the harmoniously passionate individual. Why else, for instance, would you wish to become a writer if you don't enjoy the act of dancing with words? more
Jocelyn Horsfall
Impermanence, imperfection and decay will always provide visual opportunities but are just one part of Nature’s story. more
Moments of Grace
In a moment of grace, one does not necessarily feel compelled to any action—creative or other—but rather to appreciation, to satisfaction, to hope, and to acceptance. more
Amanda Harman
Periods of non-productivity can be incredibly refreshing and reinvigorating, whilst I paused work on the Golden Valley project there was a shift in my relationship to the landscape, both practically and creatively and a shift in the way that I thought about my approach. more
Kurt Budliger – Portrait of a Photographer
I believe that Kurt’s photography and his approaches to creating it are prime examples of what can manifest when we take the time to see the landscape as a partner with whom we communicate, with reverence and curiosity. more
Joe and Tim Droning On About …
This conversation between myself (Joe Cornish) and Tim Parkin was one where we hoped to explore the arrival of the drone in landscape photography and try to understand its impact. Tim is an occasional drone pilot, Joe has never even touched one. more
Alex Hartley
During my BA, partly due to space constraints, I started making sculptures solely to be photographed, so the end product was a black and white photograph and the sculpture would be destroyed or dismantled once the image was made. more
Art and Mental Health
The same can be said when we, as creatives, post a new piece of art online for the world to see. Though we may tell ourselves, initially, that it does not matter how many *likes* or comments we receive. when we don’t receive what we might expect or hope for, we may find ourselves wishing we had never posted the piece. more
The Art and the Artist
There are many who live their lives as artists but earn a living in other professions (or perhaps are fortunate to not have to earn a living at all), and there are also many professional artists for whom art is primarily a means of earning income rather than an expression of an intensified life. more
Letter To The Lakes
Despite the fact they stand out like a sore thumb, tall, upright and red, there was something about them nestled into such a bucolic setting that I found quite romantic. more
Elvis Dallie
We each have our own individual sense of direction: one person walks past it and the other sees something beautiful in it. It is also a matter of feeling and different taste. I go purely on my gut feeling; what speaks to my heart. more
