Past Masters and Expressive Photography: Hokusai
In a sense, ancient Japan died with Hokusai. The idealised image of ancient Japan we all have died with him. more
Robert Adams
I have wanted to write an article about Robert Adams for some time. Not because I know a lot about him. On the contrary, it is because I know so little about him that I wanted an excuse to find out more. more
Edweard Muybridge
It’s hard to write a short review of Muybridge’s life without sounding like one of Tom Sawyer’s exaggerated stories more
Sally Mann
I have now read her memoir, Hold Still, twice and am pretty sure I could re-read it several more times, never be bored and continue finding new depths and insights. more
Josef Sudek
Josef Sudek may not be known as a landscape photographer, much of his work was still life, urban, occasionally portraits and quite often commercial commissions. However, his passion was very much about the natural world, his first award-winning work was for a landscape after all. more
Quiet Imagery
The older I am getting ( now 58 ) the more I tend to love less spectacular and quiet imagery. When I was young, mountains where the hot stuff on the menu and I made long hikes in the Swedish national parks in the High North. My strategies were all in the direction of catching the mountains in the most dramatic light as possible. I still like images of grand landscapes, but more so when they are interpreted in more
On Creativity – Part 1
During my recent webinar for On Landscape I was struck by the fact that one question kept coming up in a number of different guises: how do I go about finding an image? more
Hans Strand’s 2013
hope for new good images from the places I am going to see and that I will survive one more year in this wonderful job. more
David Ward’s 2013
We asked a number of our contributors to answer a few questions on their past year and what 2014 holds. more
Andrew Nadolski’s 2013
Porth Nanven. I think I only made around three trips to Porth Nanven during 2013. The constant change of this unique beach continues to draw me back. 2013 saw a change of film stock for me - moving from Reala to Portra 160. more
Joe Cornish’s 2013
Steelworks and Valerian. The industrial landscapes of our area provides a fascinating contrast to the moors. This image distils an aspect I always find optimistic… the recovery of nature in a wasteland polluted by heavy metals and toxic chemicals. Linhof Techno, IQ180, Rodenstock Digaron-W 40mm f/4 more
Tim Parkin’s 2013
Paul Moon took me out on my first outing after moving to the Yorkshire Wolds and after much huffing and puffing getting up the steep banks (from me - Paul’s fit as a fiddle) we were greeted with the sun cresting the other side of Millington Pastures. more
Doug Chinnery’s 2013
I am not good at predictions although I do think we will continue to see more photographers, especially the young and the older leaving the bulk and weight of the DSLR systems in favour of the mirror-less systems such as the Fuji X. more
Andris Apse
Andris Apse originally came to my attention through his inclusion in the seminal ‘World’s Top Landscape Photographers’ (a pivotal book for me, despite it’s weak points). His image of Breaksea Sound, Fiordland being of particular dramatic note. Since then I had not heard much about him but it was when Alex Nail mentioned him in our Featured Photographer section and then more recently Phil Malpas that I thought I should try to get hold of a book or two.

Alfred Stieglitz
Stieglitz may not be the best photographer that the century has ever seen but you would be hard pushed to find a more influential one or one that pushed the bounds of what photography meant. more
