'Honesty' and 'truth' are two descriptors which are applied very frequently to the subject of landscape photography. Typically, they will be applied by 'scapers who fall into one (or both) of two categories: the chap who searches tirelessly for the perfect scene and the perfect light (hopefully concurrently!) and the other who is not quite so pernickety but has little in the way of aptitude or skill to get the best out of his images in post production.

Why Size Really Doesn’t Matter
I had the pleasure of coming along to Tim’s Big Camera Comparison which featured in Issue 28.

An Englishman in the Dolomites
The reverence the Dolomites inspires is well deserved. They are unlike any mountain range I have seen, and for me, by far the most spectacular in the world. more

Have you considered placing images with an image agency? Perhaps you have had work accepted by a library and are waiting for the money to start coming in? more
You’ve been Framed…

Music and Photography
Having learned to play piano as an adult, and also became obsessed with landscape photography in my thirties, I’ve been amazed at the similar trajectories. more
Landscape photography saved my life!
I’ve run the picture operation at The Times for about 8 years, the pressure of searching 12,000+ images daily, seeking the ever elusive front page, is huge. more
Brand New Photographic Sensor
All I want is for people not to think of film as some defunct, irrelevant medium that even old fogies have ditched but as the culmination of a century of photographic progress and a valid alternative or addition to anyones photographic arsenal. more

Having become a proponent of digital post production I still, however, try to create the image as far as possible in the field. For me, it is still about the art of photography rather than being a mouse master. more
