Russ Barnes
We tend to think of photojournalism in terms of that which fills the pages of our newspapers, but speaking to Russ Barnes it seems like a good description of his approach to image making. He says that he often goes out looking for a story and in search of the character of that which he sees. Much of his photography is local to his home at an interface between town and country. When he travels it tends to be more

Growing up, my mother's brownie and my father's 8mm movie more

Jonathan Brown
We’re all judged on our images, often all too fleetingly, yet it is the connections that we make and the conversations that occur that can prove to be the most informative. more
Cath Waters
I’ve been enjoying her images for a while, which sit somewhere between landscape photography and digital art. more
Keith Craven
Many of us are behind the camera through choice, but sometimes events conspire to bring us out into the light. more

John Finney
John Finney creates atmospheric landscape images – misty mornings, trees and villages lost in the fog, valleys and hillsides draped in cloud and punctuated by piercing light - frequently dynamic views in which weather is a major element. more
Paul Harris
Paul Harris was born and grew up in Hackney, east London. After a variety of jobs he became a professional photographer, then Multiple Sclerosis put him in a wheelchair and now Marian, his wife of nearly 30 years, takes him on photo trips every week and they explore the lovely countryside, villages and coastlines of NE Essex and south Suffolk.

Vanda Ralevska
Vanda Ralevska is as unstinting in her enthusiasm and encouragement for her fellow photographers as she is in her own passion for creating images. Despite being a talented wedding and portrait photographer, she has chosen to concentrate on landscape photography. If there is a hill or mountain in the UK that she hasn’t climbed or an area of coast yet to be walked, you can rest assured that they are probably on her list. At times it is easy to more

Garry Brannigan
Can you tell me a little about your education, childhood passions, early exposure to photography and vocation? I was born in Sheffield. My Dad was a newspaper editor, my Mum a mother and housewife. Dad worked all hours in his office in the city centre, but I preferred being outdoors and as our back garden opened out into woodland, that’s where I remember spending my childhood when I wasn’t at school. We then moved to the edge of the Peak more

Can you tell us a little about your education, childhood passions, early exposure to photography and vocation? My degree and day job are in finance and hold little relevance to photography.
