Why We Do It
I’m extremely fortunate that nature photography found me and that I’m in a place that allows me to pursue it extensively. Most of my thoughts could just as easily apply to any creative endeavour or even just as advice on how to improve my life. more
Varanger Fjord in Winter
I went back to a photo trip that was perhaps the perfect trip in many ways, a winter trip to the remote Varanger fjord in northeastern Norway. I'm going to explain why this was such a special trip for me, will you travel with me? more
Vanda Ralevska
I never set out with any intention to make any of my projects. They all come out as a result of experiencing the world. Go out and respond to what you see and feel. Figure out what excites you and what you feel passionate about more
The Visual Language of Aerial Photography
There has been a proliferation of aerial images in contemporary Australian landscape photography. These aerial images are quite often very abstract in nature, which begs the question – what is the visual language of aerial photography? more
Ian Hill
Photography is a process of enquiry; he observes, listens, and tries to understand the land. Although he lives in a well-known area, his black and white images abstract place and question our connection and response to it. more
A Passion in Question
Whether I call myself a photographer or a photographic artist, it’s what my life centres around. It has given my life purpose. And yet, I ask myself, do I love photography, or instead do I love what photography offers me? more
Voices
But where is home if not in our minds? And what is a voice, if not the loudest expression of one’s self? more

I believe Art makes us truly human, or perhaps more accurately, the ability to appreciate the beauty in form, colour, shape and structure of an object, painting, sculpture, or photograph makes us human. It can define who we truly are. more
Michael DiMeola – Portrait of a Photographer
While I think nature photographers can leverage our craft as a means to decompress from our hectic lives, I do think there’s a case to be made for smaller scenes such as the ones Michael is drawn to capture as having more potential as a mechanism for stress reduction. more
Jorma Hevonkoski
If you have retained your child-like sense of wonder for snow, then it’s likely that you’ll be enthralled by Jorma’s landscapes from the far north of Finland, which are all the more remarkable for the fact that they are taken during the polar night. more
Uncomfortable Beauty
To me, the picture of the ants on the wild teasel forms a clear metaphor for climate change. I am afraid that the ants did not survive the flooding because the flowers were completely submerged at the height of the flood. more
History of Art and Landscape – Part Four
Continuing our look at the history of landscape, I was looking for the next significant artists or art after the Dutch Golden Age, which I talked about in the previous article. In most of the books on art that I’ve seen, Claude ‘Lorrain’ Gellée gets mentioned repeatedly as the artist who raised landscape painting up to be considered a significant art form and who gets ‘rediscovered’ during the romantic period by Constable, Gainsborough, Turner, etc. If you'd like to take more
Klaus Axelsen – Portrait of a Photographer
One of the most compelling aspects of photography is the fact that every photograph is a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional world, and yet there are photographers who are able to utilize techniques to trick the human eye into seeing two-dimensional objects in three dimensions. Even more fascinating is that through the use of shutter speed and aperture, a skilled photographer can also incorporate the fourth dimension - time. more
Never Again
Don’t allow for this coming fall—or any season for that matter—to just go by ever again. Take a closer look at the leaves all over the ground. Stop and smell the fragrance of damp earth and decaying foliage. more
Joseph Rossbach
He made the decision to commit to nature photography relatively early, and we talk about how he has made a career of it. more
