Jennifer Renwick – Portrait of a Photographer
I decided to focus on the artwork of a photographer who has long inspired me, not only because her photographs are powerful, evocative, and unique, but because she is one heck of an amazing person and a fabulous steward of the natural places we all cherish. more
Joel Truckenbrod – Portrait of a Photographer
I do not think that nature and landscape photography always need to evoke positive emotions and I love the fact that Joel’s work can evoke both positive and negative emotions and feelings. more
Pastel Mirrors in the Unreal Landscape
This is not the ‘beauty of the banal’ often associated with the New Topographics, but nor is it the grandiose statements of the straight photographers. Instead of metaphorically pointing dramatically at what is being seen, Cody’s images reflect on what the photographer has felt in the landscape. more
Marco Sipriaso – Portrait of a Photographer
What I admire about Marco’s work is that it is a fresh reminder that expectations can pigeon-hole us as artists to only look for what we had pre-envisioned, whereas an approach like Marco’s can lead to discovering a whole new world of photography that can enrich us and occupy us for a lifetime. more
Stillness & Silence in the Desert
There is a stillness to these images which is quite bewitching. A feeling of tranquillity and harmony, of peacefulness and austere simplicity. more
Dale King – Portrait of a Photographer
Have you ever noticed that when you look at the work of some photographers, you instantly know that they have a connection to a place as an artist? more
Portrait of a Photographer – Eric Bennett
It has become quite apparent to me that Eric’s goal with his photography is purely selfless – he wishes to inspire the world to take better care of wild places. more
Huibo Hou
Huibo’s image of the Witch’s Finger (Trølkonufingur) in the Faroe Islands is a great example of emotive feeling exploding out of an image. To say it’s got drama is to do it a disservice. The view here is epic, monumental, awesome in the Burkian sense of the sublime. more
Portrait of a Photographer – Cecil Whitt
Cecil and his work exemplify the mysteries of the desert Southwest and conjure up a wide variety of emotions and ideas including solitude, surprise, serenity, rugged individualism, grit, determination, exploration, and optimism. more
The Sublimity of Toxic Beauty
As I then read up about the Terminal Mirage 2, 2003, I discovered that I was looking at an aerial photograph of Utah’s Great Salt Lake. more
Learning from Others
Being in "lockdown" (or quarantine, whatever you decide to call it), has created lots of time to reflect on the photographic practice of other photographers who inspire me. more
Portrait of a Photographer – Anna Morgan
I get the sense that the subject is much deeper than a collection of simple objects in nature, rather, each image asks the viewer to reflect deeper within oneself to find something more. more
Perfection in Nothingness
What does this image convey to you? A feeling of peace, calm and quietness? Does it suggest tranquillity and harmony? Perhaps a meditative feeling, of a sense of emptiness? more
Portrait of a Photographer- Jimmy Gekas
He approaches every trip and scene with the same lack of expectation and embodies what the Buddhists call “Shoshin,” which roughly translates as “beginner’s mind.” more
It’s Up To You What You See
Abstract art can be the most frustrating of art forms, but it can also be the most rewarding. There is a simple reason for this I think: the responsibility for finding ‘meaning’ in an image is thrown entirely on to the viewer. more
