End frame: After the Storm, Climbers on the Doldenhorn, Switzerland by Henry Bradford Washburn Jr.
"After the Storm" has that graphic quality in spades. But this image has extra “life" to it because of the climbers on the ridge. They give it scale and drama, and this is what really thrilled me when I first saw it. more
End frame: Rùm Sunrise, Inner Hebrides by Joe Cornish
Rùm’s soaring profile catching the warm light just after sunrise was crying out to be photographed, and I assume Joe knew about this particular wave-cut platform on the Isle of Eigg and that it would one day make a useful foreground. more
End frame: Rain and Cliff, Milford Sound by Craig Potton
It is a testament to Craig’s simplified working practice in which he doesn’t use filters, is limited to two or three prime lenses and makes compositions on instinct, preferring not to have to think too much. more
End frame: Dungeon Canyon, Glen Canyon by Eliot Porter
A collection of 80 images was first published in 1963 under the title “The Place No One Knew - Glen Canyon on the Colorado” as part of the Sierra Club’s Exhibit Format Series. more
End Frame – Ostrava Blast Furnace Slag by Fedor Gabčan
The photo was taken in 1966 on an analog Pentacon six with Flektogon 50mm f4 lens and it captures the hot slag dump from nearby ironworks Karolina. Even the city centre was used for heavy industry and coal mining at that time. more
End frame: Seasonal Papyrophilia by Krista McCuish
I started this article by saying that I like images that make me question what I am seeing and “Seasonal Papyrophilia” does exactly this. There are multiple layers and textures and quite unusual shades of pinkish purple and lime green. more
End frame: Mountains of Mourne, County Down by Paul Wakefield
My own photography has changed in many ways since I picked up a camera again. A lot of this is down to studying Paul’s work, I don’t go out looking for the golden light anymore, I am much happier photographing on overcast days, shooting in diffused light, and making quieter images. more
End frame: Conception Rock by Michael Lundgren
In Michael Lundgren’s Conception Rock, two spherical shapes loom out of the darkness. While they appear large, the scale is not clear cut. At first glance, what they are or whether they even belong to this world or not is an open question. more
Endframe: East Cumberland Bay, November 13, 1914 by Frank Hurley
Since childhood I have been fascinated by the history of polar exploration, intrigued by the tales of adventure, the discovery of the unknown and the mortal dangers faced in the most hostile and remote landscapes on earth. Among the heroic tales of polar discovery, there are none to compete with the plight of the ill-fated 1914 Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition led by Sir Ernest Shackleton in his bid to be the first to lead a team across the Antarctic Continent: a more
End frame: Iceberg, Fjallsarlon, Iceland by Paul Wakefield
I said at the beginning that this is an image that remains very clearly in my head, and this, in our current world of visual overload, of itself says all that needs to be said about the impact this image has had on me. more
End frame: Dukan Lake, 1974 Kurdistan Region, Iraq by Bruno Barbey
I found it in a bookshop in 1998 even though I was broke I bought it, love at first sight. I realise that this book has deeply influenced me. I can almost see a little bit of my photography in every photograph in the book, inspiring me and moving me. more
End frame: Puglia 1978 by Franco Fontana
I think we can learn from him that great photographs don’t have to be of spectacular, iconic places. There are interesting images to be made all around us; we just have to look harder, and pursue what resonates with our own personality, curiosity, and imagination to find our own voice. more
End Frame: Rydal Water by Paul Sanders
His image of Rydal Water is packed with exquisite imagery and a myriad of emotions. more
Endframe: Hoarusib River Bed by David Ward
It was 2017, for months and months I had seen the occasional “elephant passing through our camp” snapshot. But there had been no sign of any of David Ward’s heart stopping, beautiful, keep you looking over and over again pictures. Then this appeared. Perhaps cool water to a parched throat, but pwhooar! I am not even sure if it is the first one he posted after a couple of years during which he left both camera and social media pretty much more
Endframe: Full Moon over Mayo by Paul Kenny
At Ballinglen, he had easy access to the coast and the sea and Full Moon over Mayo is one of the very first of his Seaworks series that was eventually published as the book Seaworks 1998-2013 published by Triplekite Publishing in 2014. more
