The Point of the Point of the Deliverance
Perhaps my longest personal project is The Point of the Deliverance, a journey around the west coasts of Scotland and Ireland with a large format camera, dark tent and all the chemicals and equipment needed to make tintypes and ambrotypes. more

Some qualities I find admirable in my favourite artists are: confidence, attention to detail, clean and intentional composition, colour/tonal balance, creativity, deep feelings, a close relationship with their local nature, work ethic, morality, intrinsic motivation, community-building, and storytelling. more
A Bridge, Not a Barrier
Not every meaningful experience we have in nature can or should be turned into a photograph either. It’s important to be able to recognise when a moment is too fragile or too fleeting, and in order to still be able to experience it ourselves, to not attempt to photograph it at all. more

I was also very proud that my photos of the forests in Japan were recognised. It is not that I shot the photos to win an award, but I am happy that the light, trees, and textures that I think are good caught the eyes of prestigious photographers. more
Phenomenological Landscapes
There is, however, another side of this aspect of being a photographer that can have benefit in our interactions with the phenomenological landscape. A camera is a separating device but also a means of focusing our attention. more
David Thompson – Portrait of a Photographer
I’ve been following David’s work for many years, and there are several aspects of his work and him as a person that I greatly admire. For starters, he seems to always be forging his own path forward with his images. more
Moments in The Wilderness
A large project like this comes with its challenges. Being out alone for weeks on end is definitely one, and it doesn’t seem to get easier over time. Being away from loved ones is hard, especially when I’m on my own deep in the wilderness. more

Brian Pollock – Portrait of a Photographer
His work from the Scottish Highlands is superb and drips with a personal flair that can only come from the deep connections made through care, effort, and passion. more
In Praise of Uninteresting Places
The point is that my father saw nothing of interest and made no photographs here, while I have been tramping happily about this landscape with my camera for several years and haven’t found it tedious yet. more
The Courage to Stand Alone
People often criticise those they admire most because they are living out the dreams they do not have the courage to follow themselves. Or they feel that they are more deserving of the praise or success that someone else has received. more
Andrea Celli
A childhood spent among the Beech forests of the Casentino Forests left an indelible mark on me. My memories sink into summers spent with my grandparents in these beautiful places and formed my spirit. more
The End of the Road
My own photographic journey has changed over time, as has my understanding and perception of place. In 2020, when we completed our final workshop commitments to Iceland, having given ourselves 3 years to refocus our photography practice, I realised I was exploring not the landscape itself but the relationship of man with the place more
Shanda Akin – Portrait of a Photographer
Clearly, the paths we consciously choose to take throughout our lives have a significant impact on the direction of our photography and what motivates us to create artwork. more
Justin Pumfrey
Throughout my work life, projects have arisen naturally and are, as I look back at them, expressions of where I was as I human being in the different periods of my life. more
