Wall
The wall skirts around Gameshope Glen in a horseshoe ending not far from where it started, close to Talla Reservoir, a couple of miles east of the Tweed Valley. more
On the physics of caustic light in water
I like to make images of water in its various forms, but particularly the interaction of light and flowing water in streams and rivers. The attraction in making many of these images is often the points and lines of concentrated light that make the surface sparkle more
A Visual and Tactile Adventure
During this year I have participated in a project called ‘Territoire-s’, which was an artistic exchange of ideas between artists from two countries. more
Lord of the Winds
There is nothing regular or predictable about them, and with no control over the sea, timing is everything. more
Rombalds Moor ~ Intimate and Vista Photographs
Rombalds Moor, better known as Ilkley Moor, due to its position South of the town, became a project after daily walking on this wild moorland. more
Tales of Abruzzo
I started photographing years ago, as it was just a passion that would allow me to bring home memories of what I was living. more
Holding an Exhibition
Knowing how much work is involved from conceiving an exhibition to the opening, would I do it again? I’ve already booked my next two. more
Yan Preston – Photographic Projects
Between 2010 and 2014, for my ‘Mother River’ project, I photographed the entire 6,211km Yangtze River in China at precise 100 intervals with a large-format film camera.

Permanence and mutations of the landscape
These photo series consist of these juxtaposed elements, may they are physical (the landscape, the habitat), time-related (ancient, new) or symbolic (sacred, profane). more
On Bredon Hill
Bredon Hill is a gentle dome rising to just shy of 1,000 feet at an iron age hill fort on its northwestern ‘corner’ overlooking the more or less flat River Avon and River Severn valleys more
Luinneagan
I knew the haiku would be the route back to the poetry of the landscape. Being a Gaelic speaker I decided to write them in that language to accompany my photographs and the ‘Gaiku’ was born. more
An insight into handbound books
Handbound artist books now represent most of my photographic output. I think I am confident their legacy will be longer for my heirs than any of my stored boxes of prints. more
Romania Project Diary
When I discovered that I’d been awarded the Royal Photographic Society Environmental Bursary to create a new series – a series that I’d been wanting to create for some time more
The Start of a 365 Project
I knew for 2018 I had to bite the bullet and commit to doing the 365 project properly if I was to get the most out of it. more
