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
Adam Fowler
Adam has for some time been considering in photographic terms the structures that we tend to avoid or overlook, including the many hydro-electric dams built in the Scottish Highlands in the 1950s and 1960s. more
Ditching Graduated Filters
Setting aside my own experiences there are many reasons to make the case for a “gradless” capture process. more
Paul Mitchell
I have been actively involved with pinhole photography for almost 15 years and am pleased to see that it has had somewhat of a resurgence recently. more
The restorative effects of landscape photography
For so many landscape photographers, there is a reverence for nature that is reflected in our images. The natural world provides relief from the burdens of everyday life, with studies showing that time spent in nature has a measurable positive effect on our stress levels and state of mind. more
Time to reflect…
Mystery lurks in the disparity between how I see and how the camera sees. I’m more interested in the ways in which they imperfectly match than in any apparent congruence. more

Jo Stephen
A few years ago, I set out to try and capture images that illustrated the ephemeral quality of the nature around me. I wanted to explore the movement of energy between subject and landscape. more
Why are neutral density graduated filters so popular?
Although I am dedicated to the post-production stages of photography I also believe that getting things ‘right’ in camera makes the editing stage a great deal more enjoyable. more
Graduated Filter Test – Part Five (Bonus!)
It was pointed out by a couple of readers that I’d missed a couple of tests that they would have liked to have seen. These were a ‘scratch resistance’ test and a vignetting test. Whilst I didn’t foresee these changing the results really, I was keen to include them. I also promised a short video on each filter to demonstrate some of the usability issues I’d talked about in the last issue. Skip this section if you just want more
David Queenan
While we (or others) may consider ourselves primarily ‘landscape photographers’, there are no boxes in life and we need not limit our curious minds. more
Time and Photography
A strong fascination with the concept of time has permeated my work from the very beginning and indeed now, in retrospect, I realise it might well be the reason why I chose photography as a medium of personal expression and investigation of the world I live in. more
