Nobody Expects the Inquisition!

One of my overarching motivations for photographing is to explore the gap between how the combination of my mind and eye apprehend reality and how a camera and lens render that. more

Colours of Summer

Everyone loves the long hot summer days, the short, warm nights, the bright greens of summer…everyone it seems, except grumpy old landscape photographers! more

Southern Manscapes

Man's influence on the landscape here is obvious and almost unavoidable photographically. I decided to embrace this and to make the transformation of the land and man's influence on it the subject of the photographs. more

Ideas Behind Reality in Photography

It’s important to highlight that deception involves intent. Tools and techniques don’t have intents, people do. Deception is not about whether someone applied some tool or technique, it’s about whether someone used a tool or technique specifically intending to deceive others. more

Acquisitions and Inquisitions

This paradox springs from the fact that photographers’ peers are seen as both their preferred audience and their competition for the acquisition of images. Photographers want to brag about where they’ve been to people who they think will appreciate it. more

Ideas Behind Reality in Photography

For me, the overriding approach is that I want to make sure I express authentic experience. The feelings I want to express in my work are true to my own experience, and my experience is to a large degree influenced by the reality I work in—the beauty and complexity of natural places. more

Drawn to Rock

This small exhibition answers the request for an artistic response to the unique landscape of Brimham Rocks. The goal was to combine traditional photographic working methods with something more deliberately experimental. more

The Beauty Remains

It occurred to me that in the past I used to go to these beloved places for solace and healing, but now it feels as though the healers have fallen ill themselves. more

Key Lessons from Old Pictures

As art students, we were taught the principle of being prepared to ‘Sacrifice the Beloved’. This gory-sounding epithet means that those parts of a piece of art we might have considered crucial in the early draft, or original concept, sometimes have to be ditched to allow the final version to really work. more

The Promised Land

Joshua Tree National Park is wonderfully ordinary and I understand its popularity. Slowing down to listen to cactus wrens, watch the light change, and photograph with no expectations has been one of the greatest gifts I’ve received as a photographer. more

Judge or Be Judged

I’ve written quite a lot about competitions in the past but being as we’re so close to the opening of submissions for the Natural Landscape Photography Awards, I wanted to go into a bit more detail about the process of judging more

On Equivalence, Expression, and Art

Photographers aiming for equivalence are most often those who are intrinsically motivated to find value in the creative process for its beneficial effects on their own psyche and on the quality of their inner experiences. more

The Karakoram by Colin Prior

This book and these photographs truly are the summits of Colin Prior’s lifelong journey of the imagination. Although it has taken more than 100 years, finally, Vittorio Sella’s baton has been well and truly passed on to Colin Prior. more

Paulo Valdivia

After talking to Paulo, and reflecting on the many interviews I’ve undertaken for On Landscape, it’s clear that for everyone inspired at an early age by a parent or relative, there will be others who come to photography later in life. It doesn’t really matter when you start making images or begin any new creative pursuit, so long as the timing is of your choosing, and you trust yourself. What comes across in our interview with Paulo is a more

Photographing the Un-Grand Landscape

With a fine-tuned ability to see, photographic opportunities will inevitably increase; but that will be of small value unless there is a willingness to receive them with an open mind. more
