Sacred Forests
There’s a special place in the heart of Italy, right between Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna regions. Far from the iconic places in the country like the Dolomites, Val d’ Orcia, Cinque Terre and so on, but full of great natural views and photographic inspirations.

End Frame: Crossed Aspens and Sapling, near Ashcroft, Colorado By John Sexton
‘Desert Island Discs’ is a long running BBC Radio 4 series that was first broadcast on what was then the BBC Forces Programme on the 29th January 1942, with its first guest being Vic Oliver, actor and radio comedian. The format of the show for those who aren’t familiar with British radio is that people who have made a name for themselves in whatever field, (I hesitate to use the word ‘celebrity) are invited to imagine that they have more
Natural Landscape Photography Awards
I’ve tried to keep news about the Natural Landscape Photography Awards to a minimum as, although it has taken up a lot of my bandwidth, continuous updates would soon get boring I imagine. However, it’s over! (well the “awards” part of it anyway). Just over a week ago, we announced the winners and runners up of all of the categories and also a few extra awards, which I’ll come onto in a bit. We are all incredibly happy with more
A Year of Photographs
Not necessarily my best pictures of the year, they are nevertheless ones that I am fond of, or intrigued by…and which haven’t yet appeared in On Landscape! The captions aim to provide a little background to their origins, and why I chose them. more
For the Sake of the Image
Has the craft of photography lessened over the years? Has digital imagery removed the getting it right in camera, in favour of Photoshop and Lightroom, in which case is it digital art rather than photography, in the strictest sense? more
Beloved
This became a project about crossing boundaries, both geographic and linguistic. It weaves a story through world cultural history in an accessible way, from a personal point of view. It illuminates a universal human story. more
Johan Stadling
The images we’ve chosen for our interview draw very much on his predilection for pattern; even the birds sit within complexities of shape and form. more
Blue Period
I have enjoyed my time capturing these images and in sitting with them to listen to their stories. As I continue to visit new landscapes, I will keep these scenes in mind to appreciate the world we have and the beauty they bring to our lives. more

End frame: Submergence by Joe Cornish
I have spent so many hours photographing abstracts on the English coast and the print of Submergence evokes many memories. more
Mindfulness With a Twist
When I practice mindfulness, I don’t aspire to rid myself completely of strong emotions. My goal, instead, is to filter my emotions and keep only those that are most elevating and beautiful, even if painful and difficult. more
Embracing Failure and Being Humble
Making photographs is all about personal decisions like what subject matter you choose to photograph or which of your photographs is good enough for others to see more
Jackson Frishman – Portrait of a Photographer
Over the past several years I have had the pleasure of being introduced time and time again to the excellent photographic artwork of Jackson Frishman, as he’s been recommended to me by so many excellent former guests of my podcast, including Sarah Marino & Ron Coscorossa. There are several interesting themes that I’ve been able to piece together over the years regarding Jackson and his work that have always intrigued me and so more
Carolyn Cheng
In my daily life and work, my mind likes to discern patterns from complex sets of information and I also see images in this manner. Being up in the air, where landforms can be abstracted into shapes and patterns, I can more easily apply this skill. more
