Peter Heaton
From ‘Dark Landscapes’ to the complexities of layered visuals, drawings and text - and sound - Peter shares with the viewer his home ground of North Yorkshire and the Yorkshire Wolds, some of the thoughts and emotions attached to being in the landscape, as well as his concerns for our environment. more
The Trailings Project
It's the small things that make our world worth living in and help us to know that we are human, we are vulnerable. We are. fragile, but we can heal. more
Chris Murray – Portrait of a Photographer
Chris weaves stories and narratives through each image and adds just enough mystery (or perhaps leaves just enough out) to keep the viewer engaged for a long period of time. more
Bayou Dreams: A Journey Home
Paddling through the ancient cypress groves in the soft mist of the early morning transports you to another place and time. These 2,000 year old trees in and around the Atchafalaya Basin exude a special kind of magic and mystery. Words and even photographs fall short of conveying the experience of silently floating through the water among these ancient trees decorated in fall colour and draped in Spanish moss.

Loss in the Landscape
In September 2019 a funeral service was held on the former bed of the Pizol Glacier in Switzerland1. The glacier had lost 80% of its volume since 2006 and was now small enough to be declared dead by those mourners present. more
Arctic Tundra
In the early autumn of 2019, I was privileged to be one of twelve photographers, led by Anthony Spencer and Joe Cornish on a photographic “expedition” to the North East Greenland Coast. more
Finn Hopson
The South Downs is still where I spend most of my time with a camera. I’ve been photographing this area for about eleven years now, but if 2020 has taught me anything it’s that there is still so much to discover on my doorstep. more

End frame: Winter Morning by Theo Bosboom
At first glance, there’s not much happening in the bottom half of the frame, but it’s a wealth of fine texture and colour nuances, bringing a subtle line up from bottom left towards top right that meets the curve of snow crust. more
Judge or Be Judged
I’ve written quite a lot about competitions in the past but being as we’re so close to the opening of submissions for the Natural Landscape Photography Awards, I wanted to go into a bit more detail about the process of judging more
