Cath Gothard
If I were forced to choose a favourite season to photograph the park, then it would have to be spring. It’s such an optimistic season, with new life emerging from the slumber of winter. more
Bearing Witness
If we are looking for more meaningful and rewarding experiences and to make photos that are creative and self-expressive, then I would argue there may be times when the camera should never come out of the bag. more
Mieke Boynton – Portrait of a Photographer
In this article, I hope to convey how Mieke’s approach to photography has elevated her work, how her immeasurable passion and aptitude for aerial photography have differentiated her from her peers, and how her desire to honour the Aboriginal people of Australia has given her work purpose. more
Review of ‘22
Ansel Adams famously wrote that twelve significant photographs in any one year is a good crop. Significant is obviously the key word here. I am the kind of person who feels Eeyore is dangerously over optimistic. So, hoping that I will make twelve notable images seems very ambitious. more
Rene Algesheimer
If the sum of the whole can be greater than its parts, then René Algesheimer has plenty to draw on, with a skill set that encompasses music and mathematics, a highly relevant contemporary specialism, and considerable passion for both the visual arts and written word. Working almost exclusively on projects, René tends – contrary to what we are encouraged to do by social media – to more
Camels, Lions, and Children
In his book, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Friedrich Nietzsche described three “metamorphoses of the spirit”—stages of personal development that people may (if they choose) pursue if they wish to live their lives to the fullest, which, according to Nietzsche, means living according to one’s own values with the greatest degree of freedom. more
Winter’s Stillness
When it comes to photography, one of my favourite products of winter’s stillness is the ice that forms. What I love about ice is that you can find it almost anywhere, granted it gets cold enough. more
Richard Martin
Richard is an advocate of ‘play’ and of keeping an open mind; process is important, and equipment is simply a means to an end. Often photographing close to home, Richard’s images frequently feature flow, whether in the form of water or plant life. more
Natural Landscape Photography Awards 2022
The Natural Landscape Photography Awards are all wrapped up and I’m sitting here compiling the book to go with the 2022 results. I thought it would be interesting to recap on the process and show some of the winners and also some of my own personal favourites from our competition finalists. Going into the competition this year, we weren’t certain of its success. We had done so well in the first year but we knew that there were many people more
Jason Pettit – Portrait of a Photographer
All photographs might function as an Equivalent to someone, sometime, someplace – for example, a viewer may respond to a photograph by recognising something about themselves more
Project Based Working
A photo story also falls under photo projects, but a photo project does not always result in a photo story. You can also have a photo project with no real storyline or a story that is too limited to count as 'storytelling'. more
Attention and Creativity
Everyone knows what attention is. It is the taking possession by the mind, in clear and vivid form, of one out of what seem several simultaneously possible objects or trains of thought. Focalisation, concentration, of consciousness are of its essence. It implies withdrawal from some things in order to deal effectively with others, and is a condition which has a real opposite in the confused, dazed, scatterbrained state more
Bill Ferngren
Just like in my music, I can attribute all my songs to a time, place, perceived feeling or a mood. My four corners in photography get about the same impression, in that sense, “my image becomes my voice”. more
Productivity, Trust and Sensibility
One day Claudio told me that to avoid disappointments, he avoided expectations in the first place. I didn’t know what to think about that, I was confused as a big part of me couldn’t grasp its entire meaning. more
Andre Donawa – Portrait of a Photographer
The subject of today’s essay, Andre Donawa, based on the island of Barbados – a country with a population of just 287,000, has set out to do just that – create a body of interesting landscape photography solely from his home island. more
