Can you tell me a little about your education, childhood passions, early exposure to photography and vocation? I had an unconventional upbringing as I was a 'forces brat', my dad was in the Army. I didn't live in mainland UK until I was 15 when he was finally posted back to blighty. We lived mainly in Germany with a couple of years in Hong Kong. Holidays tended to partially involve the Alps more

Peter Scammell
Although he has always taken photographs, a move from London to Devon gave his photography new impetus. more

Larry Monczka and Kathleen Pickard
I came across their work last year and found it appealed on a number of levels. They delight in finding the beauty in small things that are easily overlooked. more

Martyn Lucas
This issue we have Bolton born Martyn Lucas and his pretty spectacular arctic, antarctic and sub-arctic work. Can you tell me a little about your education, childhood passions, early exposure to photography and vocation? Individually and together, my parents educated me about right and wrong, ignited my passion for creating images, introduced me to walking for long periods of time, and were in essence my guardians and my friend. You see I grew up as an only child in Bolton, Lancashire. more

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

Deborah Hughes
This issue we're interviewing Deborah Hughs, a photographer from La Sal, Utah (Near Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, and Hovenweep and Natural Bridges National Monuments). Deborah is retired but is still busy with her garden, grandchildren, representing local charities and of course photography. Can you tell me a little about your education, childhood passions, early exposure to photography and vocation? My passion for photography has traveled a circuitous route. Growing up, my mother's brownie and my father's 8mm movie more

Sarah Al Sayegh
Thus you can see some of my images in Kuwait are mainly shot in the seaside or the seascape and Many of my images in Kuwait represent Cityscapes as a way to document Architecture evolution in a Middle Eastern Country. 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

Tom McLaughlan
Look beyond the pattern and colour of Tom McLaughlan’s abstracted buildings and structures and you will find something organic. 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. I was taught b&w processing at school. I took my Brownie more

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

Robert Birkby
This issue we're talking to semi-professional Yorkshire based photographer Robert Birkby. Can you tell me a little about your education, childhood passions, early exposure to photography and vocation? I was born in Halifax, West Yorkshire and educated in nearby Brighouse. My father is a retired cabinet maker and my mother a housewife. As a child I always had an interest in natural history and geography, so whilst other kids were playing more
