These are far from widely recognised places. Only a local would know where the pictures were made. Creatively this can work in our favour…it may be this makes these photographs more open to personal interpretation. more
If anybody has been reading On Landscape on and off over the last decade, you’ll know I’ve written about competitions a few times. The idea of competitive art seems anathema somehow but I think we can all understand the desire to see how your work would be judged by your peers... more
I was interested in discovering man’s influence over the landscape, up until the very edges of our coastline, wanting to highlight the conflict between the natural and man-made environment. more
This is not the ‘beauty of the banal’ often associated with the New Topographics, but nor is it the grandiose statements of the straight photographers. Instead of metaphorically pointing dramatically at what is being seen, Cody’s images reflect on what the photographer has felt in the landscape. more
There is no better place to be explored by a kayak, than these swamps. One just glides effortlessly and silently through a magical wonderland, chooses his own route, his own tempo. more
A mossy labyrinth of gnarled roots and twisted branches, it instantly felt like I was on the film set of Star Wars in the Dagobah woodland which was inhabited by Yoda. more

Arizona boasts several picturesque valleys, mountains, and jagged cliffs that are well worth capturing. However, one of the most beautiful vistas I have seen has to be Canyon Lake, just one hour's drive from Phoenix. more
I believe this type of photography brings out the expressionist painter in all of us. more
I found myself starting to see "home" in a different context. The abundance of water and the open and wide character of Friesland make it a place for me, a landscape in which I feel at home. more
These images are all drawn from within 20 minutes of my home. I am slightly amazed by the number of people who walk through woodland looking around, ahead or downwards and yet so rarely upwards into the glorious canopies. more
Come lockdown, I saw that Alex Hare and Lizzy Shepherd were running some online bookmaking workshops. So, I signed up for that which was really helpful and got me going. more
Of those concerned with truthfulness in photography, I ask this: if you inspire in your viewers an experience you did not actually have, is the fact that your images are not “manipulated” sufficient to make them “true”? more
