Ukiyo-e prints showed to the West a specific Japanese style that was central to forming the West's perception of Japanese Art in the late 19th century, especially through the landscapes of Hokusai and Hiroshige. more
KINGDOM

End frame: Light Show by Sandra Bartocha
This photograph has the perfect light and expresses it in a clean, direct, simple, and tremendously special way, striking the soul. It doesn't matter if it's the first ray of sunshine of the dawn or the last of the evening. more

The art photography world is no different to the commercial world; there are movers, shakers and players, and thousands of artists, it seems, all vying for wall or page space. And like many other sectors of photography, which lends itself so well to a series or project, art photography seemed no different. more

Nothing in this world is the same twice, and I began to realise that my images could be what they needed to be, and that they followed who I was at a particular moment in a particular place and time. Inwardly, I stopped more and more calling myself a landscape photographer or a nature photographer or even a photographer or an artist. more
Gifts of the Well and the Field
The Well and The Field can bring many such gifts. Both these ways of taking on photography have opportunities for artistic growth. While the beauty of The Well is depth and transformation within constraints, the beauty of The Field is inspiration and freedom without boundaries. more
