...shown is Apocalypse Now. Photo: Chris Niedenthal pic.twitter.com/52lcwpGKEu — Christopher Lash (@ChrisLashHist) December 13, 2018 How completely different from the picture we’re discussing! Back to 1968; at the time I lived only a few trams stops away from the street pictured, in the same direction the shot is taken. I didn’t yet know that 150 metres away was a photography...

...composition reveals itself. There are then all of the framing decisions about edges, corners and flow that can be discussed and finally a discussion of how to emphasise some of these featured in post processing. And then, perhaps if a few different photographers were to do this, we might find a few commonalities - even if not I hope that...

...for decades after his death and it was his vision of separating the sky and land components and mastery in combining them to artistic ends that is one part of the whole that makes his work so fascinating. Biography Although apparently an incredibly clever inventor and self taught chemist (you had to make your own film in those days) Gustave...

...working specialising in naturally lit landscape photography commissions working for many international blue chip clients. His landscape photography came first though and he continues to spend time returning to locations visited on commissions to add to his portfolio. If you’ve got a few of Paul Wakefield’s early books you’ll agree that although the photography is superb and the writing inspirational...

...many different criteria. One persons great composition is another persons head scratcher. However, there is a strong parallel between a few different creative subjects and photography. The first of these, and most commonly mentioned, is probably music. The choices of musical composition can be compared with photographic composition in many ways. Another subject matches very well though, but needs a...

Try to get up to take a look sometime until the end of August....

...from the standpoint of aiding composition, is the idea that we can use archetypes to deliberately induce an anthropomorphic view of the subject. Those archetypes can be very wide-ranging and depend not only on the subject itself but the way it's used compositionally. Imagine a large rock on a beach: photographed close up on a sunny day, with its bulk...

...have to market myself and have to do a lot of client management on top. This week is a good example. Today is Monday and I spent the morning meeting a company that specialise in Search Engine Optimisation, as I want to improve my company’s presence on the internet. This afternoon, I’ve been editing the images from a jewellery photoshoot...

...a bit different from Richard's usual modus operandi - taken with a medium format camera at the start of setting up his business in Scotland. For those of you who don't know Richard's work, take a look at his website at http://www.richardchildsphotography.co.uk which I'm told may well be updated this summer. Richard uses a large format camera** and strolls to...

...pretty pictures, albeit more complex and satisfying pretty pictures than I took at the start of my journey. I’ve had in the back of my head for a while that there must be some way of using photography as a means of exploring the world beyond representation, a way of using photography to develop and communicate meaning. Out of the...
