Abstraction in Photography
Appreciation of abstract photography also requires a degree of openness on the part of viewers—a willingness to allow an abstract image to impart its intended effect, rather than just to serve as a means of portraying recognisable objects or scenes. more
A Summons to Seriousness
Although we may differ in our preference of where and how we feel most at ease and most motivated to photograph, we all have the choice to consider such situations as “summons to seriousness.” more
The Metaphoric Landscape
Ultimately we all find our own ways of translating what we see in the world, in the landscape, and in our own photographs; and with luck, hope that our way of seeing will find resonance for others. more
On Staying Inspired
Even in my darkest and most anxious times, whether prompted by world events or by abnormal brain activity. I go out, even if it takes some effort, and I make whatever I’m experiencing. more
Altered Landscape
Altered landscapes are a brutal fact of the world around us. They speak of our insatiable appetite for earth’s resources and are a warning of what might happen if we continue the unchecked development and globalisation strategy of the last decades. more

A Cairngorms Learning Curve
I wanted to head deep into the Cairngorms to one of the places I’d longed to photograph in winter for many years; the Loch A’an Basin. more
Landscape as Habitat
It would be difficult to argue with the proposition that all landscape is habitat. Across the world, animals thrive and make their homes in every niche of the ecosystem. With wildlife film-making being the widely disseminated art form that it is, everyone is aware of the sheer variety and peculiarity of the natural world, evolved through time and adaptation. more
A Last Interview with Richard White
The interview below is the final transcription of that dialogue with Richard. It's taken us a few months to be able to process this interview, as we recognise what it represents. more
Noise Reduction
As noisy as our world is today, it is likely to get noisier still in the years ahead. Merchants of noise—those who profit from noise—are no longer just minor inconveniences, they are enormously powerful media machines. more

Photo Book Making
A handmade book can be a beautiful and tangible embodiment of the passion, love and enthusiasm we have for our landscapes and how we choose to present them more
