No more rose-coloured glasses, but still a love affair
I think it is safe to say that Iceland changed my life, both professionally and personally. The possibility to go to Iceland more frequently played a big role in my decision to quit my job as a lawyer and to become a fully time professional photographer in 2013. more
Philip Hyde
My parents, Ardis and Philip Hyde, as a team, made a full-time living in nature photography for 60-years before many others did. They also not only helped to make national parks and other wilderness, they quietly and for the most part privately, helped pioneer the Post War wave of the Back to the Land Movement. more
Tolkien’s Shire in Lord Of The Rings
My aim these days is to hopefully let the light painted through the lens take the viewer on a similar journey like I found myself on many occasions when being entertained by what was Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings. more
Vanda Ralevska – Portrait of a Photographer
Her father gifted her a camera at a young age, which opened a whole new way of discovering the world around her. This unique upbringing in Czechoslovakia helped forge who she is today and what makes her gravitate towards the subjects she does. more
Jeff Freestone
The glitz and glamour of the corporate world and the lure of making the big bucks had me hook, line and sinker. I had given up completely on my passion and doing what I loved in exchange for status, an identity and the pursuit of money, which would ultimately make me happy… I thought. more
Past Masters – Part Five
Ukiyo-e prints showed to the West a specific Japanese style that was central to forming the West's perception of Japanese Art in the late 19th century, especially through the landscapes of Hokusai and Hiroshige. more
The Evolving Beholder’s Share
We must use our creativity to find ways of visual expression that account for the changing nature of our beholders and their expectations so that we may communicate with them more effectively. more

The art photography world is no different to the commercial world; there are movers, shakers and players, and thousands of artists, it seems, all vying for wall or page space. And like many other sectors of photography, which lends itself so well to a series or project, art photography seemed no different. more
A Peculiar Apparatus
You realise that every moment is wondrously perfect in its own way if only you have the eyes to see it. It may not always be eye-candy-beautiful, but it is always meaningful. more
Kelp
All I know is that I was wandering with the dog down at Far Away beach one morning. The tide was out. In fact it wasn’t just out. It looked like it was going on its holidays somewhere far off and distant. And as the dog and I wandered, I saw the kelp. more
Astrid Preisz
Nothing in this world is the same twice, and I began to realise that my images could be what they needed to be, and that they followed who I was at a particular moment in a particular place and time. Inwardly, I stopped more and more calling myself a landscape photographer or a nature photographer or even a photographer or an artist. more
Hans Gunnar Aslaksen – Portrait of a Photographer
I first became aware of Hans’ work because he submitted it to the Natural Landscape Photography Awards last year, where he earned a top 10 finish for his overall portfolio. more
Discovering Purpose
I wish to highlight how I have begun to find my own purpose, namely through turning moments of pain into something worthwhile, something which I - and perhaps others - may learn from. more
Laurentiu Pavel
We can thank the light – and work – for slowly but inevitably drawing Laurentiu towards photography. It’s interesting that this, rather than a love of outdoor activities, came first. more
Leaving the Cave
Of course, photographs can also be much more than just (partial) evidence of, or accessories to understanding, what is likely to be true. They can also create new truths. more
