A Look at the Resurgence of Wet Plate
We asked Alex Boyd, a well-practised collodionist himself, about what it was about the medium that attracted so many people more
Karl Mortimer
Working my way through his website it appears that a more graphic emphasis is coming into his work – his use of the square format, the negative space in his compositions, and his macro minimals. more
Sally Mann
I have now read her memoir, Hold Still, twice and am pretty sure I could re-read it several more times, never be bored and continue finding new depths and insights. more
A Fool’s Errand
To artificially impose some consistent look in all your photographs, rather than to let such a look emerge naturally from the way you experience and express the world and yourself, may result in a style, perhaps even a style unique to you, but it will not be your personal style. more
Al Brydon
You can only draw on your own life and experiences when creating something you feel is important enough to share with other people. I find myself thinking again that one of the most basic human needs is to be understood. more
Realism and Honesty in Photography
The role of realism in photographs, as discussed in Guy Tal’s recent article on the morality and realism in photography, is as provocative as it is elusive.

Shona Grant
There’s been a resurgence in interest in artists’ books among landscape photographers recently. There is too the possibility that the book itself can become a thing of beauty and it’s been a pleasure to see the images that Shona Grant has been sharing of her creations. more
The Humanless Condition
For an introvert, it is likely that the quality and experience of photography may be impeded by the not-uncommon tendency to practice photography in groups, or in places where escaping the presence, chatter, and behaviour of others is difficult. more
Photography as Performance Art
In landscape photography, transcending the subject is quite difficult and is far less emotionally compliant than some other genres - portraiture, or street photography for example, where human values are explicit in the content. more
Simon Baxter on Vlogging
A few weeks ago, Simon Baxter and his dog Meg joined us in the Highlands to sample some of the delights that the Atlantic rainforest of Ardnamurchan has to offer. Simon is one of a new breed of communicator called a 'vlogger'. more
Guy Dickinson
I am open to anything that makes you stop, think and question what’s in front of you; I have little time for the purely picturesque. more
