On Becoming
Photography to me has always been a way of augmenting experiences, rather than something to pursue for its own sake. more
Fleeting Reflections
Having to return to the same location time and time again over several months, I began to notice shapes and patterns that motivated me to try to capture in photographic form the images that I was I visualising in my mind. more
Abelardo Morell
In the early nineties, Abelardo Morell’s decision to photograph the Camera Obscura effect led to an exploration of the interaction between the outside and the inside, initially in black and white and later in colour. He subsequently devised a portable room – effectively a tent fitted with a periscope – which enabled him to take his work outdoors, first into the desert and then into American National Parks. His images of the landscape have an impressionistic quality, but for more
Dalt Quarry, Borrowdale
One location that I have visited a number of times is Dalt Quarry, found not far from the footpath leading from Grange in Borrowdale towards Castle Crag more
Warped Topographies
Maybe obsessiveness is the essential to 'art' and creativity. Art not only creates a reaction and provokes a response in the viewer but it can also reveal truths about oneself as the creator. more

Winter Water
Water and snow make for a great combination to view and enjoy in the winter season. Nature takes on a magical look with snow caps on rocks or ice forms by a water fall. more
Woodland Seasons
I discovered these woods one spring while walking locally in search of bluebells and have been back many times since in all seasons. more
Wild camping in The Shetland Isles
For anyone looking to photograph somewhere a bit more off the beaten track, The Shetlands offer up something different, and with the low number of tourists you can have the place to yourself for days on end. more
Rachael Talibart
There’s been a noticeable shift in Rachael Talibart’s images over time. Not surprisingly for someone with a self-confessed love of the sea, this has become an increasingly significant part of her work. more
The Science and Art of Hydrology
The history of art suggests that it has proven really rather difficult to represent the dynamics of flowing water in two-dimensional images. It appears to be one of the greatest challenges for an artist. This is perhaps for good scientific reasons. more
Black Dots
‘Black Dots’ is an exploration of mountain bothies and bothy culture throughout the United Kingdom. Far from civilisation and mostly accessible only by foot, these secluded mountain shelters are scattered across the British Isles. more
