Defining Self Expression in Photography
Thinking about all this brought to mind the Paul Strand quote above. I confess that this quote used to cause me much consternation. Do I have something to say about the world? If so, what is it? Am I supposed to be saying something about the world in my photographs? more
Sigfrido Zimmermann
I find joy in sharing my knowledge of biology with my audience and especially when I’m able to do that through my photographs. I like to bring awareness to organisms or ecological processes that my audience might not have known about. more
Black in the Landscape
Real black is rather rare in the landscape. The black clouds on the horizon, the black depths of a lake, or the blackness of the night sky are rarely, in fact, black. Photographers require light to record on film or a digital sensor, and black is the absence of light. Black surfaces are those that absorb most of the light falling on them and emit little back more

Theo Bosboom – Back to Iceland
Theo’s book, Iceland Pure sits alongside my copy of the Haaberg’s Iceland in All its Splendour and Hans Strand’s Iceland: Above and Below as my reference sources for images of Iceland’s sublime beauty. more
Jim Becia – Portrait of a Photographer
I think my main takeaway from studying Jim’s work and his approach to making images is that we should all give ourselves permission to focus on things that bring us joy instead of chasing what has become popular. more
Landscape Narratives
‘Landscape Narratives’ is a series of visual conversations taking place between colour, shape and texture. All three of these elements can be found in landscapes from the broad flatlands or rolling gentle hills to mountainous regions and anywhere in between. more
Michael Faint
The light is utterly absorbing, especially the late evening light of autumn and spring, and never ceases to amaze. In recognition, I titled my website An Solas Òir, ‘The Golden Light’ in Gaelic. more
No more rose-coloured glasses, but still a love affair
I think it is safe to say that Iceland changed my life, both professionally and personally. The possibility to go to Iceland more frequently played a big role in my decision to quit my job as a lawyer and to become a fully time professional photographer in 2013. more

End frame: Autumn Pallete by Michael Bollino
As an added bonus, Michael’s image also contains an abundance of nature’s irregular patterns and textures. That is how I believe the natural world prefers to present itself to us, always a bit chaotic, as opposed to what we commonly find in structured orchards and manicured gardens. more
