Photographing the Peak District
I’m not particularly knowledgeable about the Peak District’s viewpoints so I wanted to see how these met my own understanding of the locations. more
A Photographer’s Life
All of this story is told by way of a series of anecdotes in this Rocky Nook publication. more
Hoge Venen (High Moors)
Hoge Venen is a season by season visual narrative of the changing landscape, from deep snowbound forests through misty moors in spring and a quick zip through summer before a wonderful section on forest brooks and fallen leaves. more
Treasured Lands, Book Review
QT Luong's project to photograph all 59 US National Parks couldn’t come at a more opportune moment. The current government of the US has proposed many reductions in the scale & protection of the National Parks more
Location Guides by FotoVue – Cornwall & Devon, North Wales and the Lake District
Location guides are both a great idea and an abject failure, they promise a world of photographic opportunity but typically deliver the same old worn out locations with vague guidelines on which equipment to take and what month to go there more
This Land – Book Review
When I visited Joe at the start of last year, he told me about a book project he was just starting. We chatted a little bit about it but I didn’t want to know too much as one of my joys is to sit down with a good photography book and take in the whole thing in one glorious session. Over the next twelve months, I saw the product of various of Joe’s photo shoots with Roly Smith but I more
“Iceland – An Uneasy Calm” by Tim Rudman
In issue 112 we had an interview with Tim Rudman about his Iceland exhibition and book and promised to have a review of the book in the following issue. Hopefully, you’ll forgive us for being a little late on this but the good news is that it’s worth the wait! I think Tim will agree with me if I say he’s something of a perfectionist. And when a perfectionist collides with the world of book publishing, there will undoubtedly be more

The Floods by Joe Wright
The work in the book are quite subtly sequenced and I'm sure each reader will interpret them differently but perhaps with a common theme. For me there is a sense of the progression of the photographer here as well as the sense of the woods themselves. more

“Peak District – Through the Lens” by James Grant
Very few books go into this much depth & if you’re visiting you’ll definitely find things of interest near you. more
Uncommon Ground by Dominick Tyler
This is a bit of a departure for my usual book purchasing, it's more in line with a dictionary or encyclopedia than a photography book but I think it's definitely of interest to those with a passion for the landscape. The basic premise of the book is a journey through some of the less well known words for the landscape features of the British Isles. Dominick grew tired of describing more
The Photographer’s Guide to …
Location guides are funny things. The mainstream magazines include them in nearly every issue and they typically include a photo, a low resolution map and a short ‘story’ about the location which will usually include “I nearly left and then the clouds parted”, etc. Alternatively we have some of the in depth guides I have made in the past which include multiple 360 interactive views and maps and sample images. Both ends are useful but at the ‘short’ end more
Above and Below by Hans Strand
