David Foster
I sometimes say that my work explores the interface between nature and culture, but actually, in recent years, I’ve found the culture bit diminishing, although making art that deals closely with the natural world is always going to be a kind of manifestation of that interface anyway: a culturisation of nature. more
Joe Cornish and Tim Parkin discuss Robert Adams and Beauty
The concept of ‘beauty’ often seems to be a dirty word to those photographers from a ‘contemporary/academic’ background. The use of beauty is considered too bright a light to be seen direct for fear you go blind to the meaning behind a work. more
Shooting in the Dark

At its best, sublime landscape photography reminds us of the (literally) awesome power, and beauty, of nature. more
Frederic Demeuse
I felt an irrepressible call for this mythical forest, which resounded in me as the last refuge of a certain nature which no longer exists elsewhere. more
The Way We Were
Over-walked paths are growing with fresh wildflowers, ferns trampled in river gorges are bursting upwards towards the light; joyful in their isolation. more
The Value of Things
I am trying to say something about fragility and vulnerability too. Not just my own, but that of the landscape itself, which is threatened by development and habitat destruction, and all the more so because most assume there is nothing of value here. more
Lockdown Podcast #5
Joe Cornish, Tim Parkin and David Ward talk about learning and teaching composition more
The Path Towards Expression – part 3
In this article, I will analyse a case study, using one of my personal projects: “Septentrio”. For once, the importance here will shift from the photographs (the end result) to the process and its coherence. more
