The Uninvited Guest
The guest we carry around with us is fear; fear of failure, of not fitting in, of not living up to our expectations, the vision of our perfect self, doubting ourselves, even when in our own minds we are clear as crystal. more
It’s Time We Were Critical
Used this way, by explaining why something works and constructively criticising less well-executed work, criticism can really help others improve their work. more
Dan Baumbach
You’re very much in the present moment creating out of nothing. Thought only comes into it when you try to actualise what you’re seeing. You need to think about exposure, focus and all that. more
What to Expect When You’re Not Expecting
You may well find that the best preparation for a photographic outing, is to deliberately go unprepared. more
Spring in the Lake District with Joe Cornish
Following on from our previous wander around Cornwall (via a relaxing chair in the Highlands), Joe is talking through some of the images taken on a workshop with David Ward. We cover a few topics including bits of Capture One and Lightroom, the use of Polarisers, black and white conversions and a few other bits and pieces. more
Verity Milligan
Seeing the images that Verity Milligan shares online, her love of the rural and the remote is clear, but look a little deeper and it’s also apparent that the city that she calls home – Birmingham, UK - is very important to her too. more
Neil Burnell
If you still mostly associate Neil with long-exposure photography, you’ll learn how extended application in the form of year-long competitions has benefitted his skill set and broadened his interests and portfolio. more
Reclaimed
The diamond mining ghost town of Kolmanskop, a collection of skeletal buildings a short way off that same highway, is a testament to just that fact. more
Carpathia Diary, May 2018
In January of last year, I began photographing a body of work documenting Romanian NGO ‘Foundation Conservation Carpathia’ as they strive to create a new European Wilderness Reserve in the heart of the Southern Carpathian Mountains. more
Deception by Realism
Photographers working in such places, wishing for their images to convey impressions such as wildness, remoteness, or peaceful contemplation, often compose their photographs deliberately to exclude people, roads, and structures that might betray the true nature of the place and the true experience of being in it. more
Spring in Cornwall with Joe Cornish
We managed to record Joe talking about his trip to Cornwall where he had some great light and beautiful spring conditions. more
Meaning: You Get to Decide
Do not let the fear of outside judgment and opinions limit your vision. Defining what’s meaningful to you requires courage and conviction. more
Stuart Clook
Stuart Clook’s work mixes places beloved by 21st century filmmakers, audiences and adventurers with 19th century photographic and printing processes, exploring the way that colour can influence perception and deliberately making room for error and discovery. more
Remnants on the High Plains
The objective of finding the abandoned places led me through some of the most beautiful grasslands I have ever seen. more
Letting go of Truth
To be honest, this all contributes to my love affair with monochromatic photography. Because abstraction is more obvious for the viewer, and for me, it gives me more artistic freedom. more
