Photography, Chance and Solitude
Critics of landscape photography and there are many, argue that it romantically pedals a dangerous myth that the natural environment is an unspoilt, Garden of Eden. more
The Humanless Condition
For an introvert, it is likely that the quality and experience of photography may be impeded by the not-uncommon tendency to practice photography in groups, or in places where escaping the presence, chatter, and behaviour of others is difficult. more
From Realism to Abstraction
Once we’ve got to grips with some techniques we might start to look for own individual style. Many photographers are content to hone their skills and search for the elusive moments of light and conditions that will produce a new interpretation of a classic location. more
Photography as Performance Art
In landscape photography, transcending the subject is quite difficult and is far less emotionally compliant than some other genres - portraiture, or street photography for example, where human values are explicit in the content. more
Shoshin
All it took was adopting a simple attitude change. Instead of judging the weather and light (or even looking at the weather forecast ahead of a shoot), I felt grateful for whatever Mother Nature provided to me. more
The Label
A single word, a label, can narrowly define the whole life of an artist, directing not only the audience into a single way of understanding and experiencing his or her work, but also shaping the artist himself. more

Creation vs. Production
Creation and production are very different concepts, yet they are typically confounded, particularly during the first stages of practice of any supposedly creative activity. more
The More Things Change
In order for photographs to be considered truly creative, it is not enough for the photographer to passively recognise a visually appealing, or otherwise expressive, composition when coming into contact with it. more
Aligning the Moral Compass
Our responsibility should probably carry over to our post processing and image sharing as well. The ramifications of what we share and how it impacts others has to be considered if we care about the places we photograph. more
Hot Places
I want to show how Iceland has changed into a destination for mass tourism and how people are experiencing nature in the days of selfie sticks, social media and cheap flights. more
Finding Your Creative Voice
In hindsight, a critical transformation was underway, one where I was moving away from a person who liked to take pretty pictures and becoming a visual artist with a unique, creative voice. more
An Interview with Charlie Waite
The faster we're going, as people, the less our feet are actually firmly on the ground. We're becoming very dislocated. We can use the camera to re-engage with ourselves because it can help you notice things that otherwise you might miss. more
