...took the photo I knew that I had come across something beautiful and I knew exactly what route my project would be going down. Before this moment I had no idea of what I would find in Iceland or if I would come across anything worthy for a project at all. That moment inspired me throughout the rest of the...

I have known David and admired his work for a few years now though our mutual connection with the filmwasters.com forum. During that time I have followed the progress of David’s 5 year project to capture the essence of the Sussex Weald and was eagerly awaiting the culmination of this project - an exhibition of 51 superb platinum/palladium prints at...

This story started several years ago. An email arrived out of the blue: 'My boss has seen your pictures in a magazine and was wondering if you do workshops? He lives in Sydney and is coming over to Europe to see friends and would like to spend a week with you'. I didn't want the responsibility of professionally providing good...

...70-200mm and either 17-40mm or the 24mm TS-E. My most used lens is the 24mm TS-E. This is my default lens for wide-angle compositions. I love the DOF control you get from the tilt function. I try to find my compositions with the 24mm field of view in mind and only swap to 17-40mm if a composition I find doesn’t...

...that are a pleasure to own and show a unique eye for composition and light. For those of you who already know and love Paul Wakefield's work you will be familiar with the process occasional revisiting his website waiting for new photos to appear. Well not only is there some new work online but there is also a book coming...

...area of open scrubland that I would normally pass by on the way to one of my preferred locations. It had left in its wake a tangled mess of sinuous black whip-like branches. In places it resembled black spaghetti, and provided a real challenge to present as anything other than complete disorder. Despite the car park being a few hundred...

...tend to work, I’ll probably spend 2 or 3 months if not longer looking for a particular composition, or I’ll find the composition and then I’ll wait for the weather conditions, the lighting, everything to come together the way I want that particular picture to come out, so I’m not terribly prolific in the number of images that I create...
