Stuart Williams
With the exception of my tertiary education, I have spent my life in Africa, having grown up in Kenya. I grew up under big skies and the equatorial sun. more
Huibo Hou
Huibo’s image of the Witch’s Finger (Trølkonufingur) in the Faroe Islands is a great example of emotive feeling exploding out of an image. To say it’s got drama is to do it a disservice. The view here is epic, monumental, awesome in the Burkian sense of the sublime. more
Why Photography is Important
I knew that taking photographs was going to be my route to introducing some sort of balance into my life. Given that I didn't have a Plan B this was a bit of a relief. more
End frame: Rock, Water and Tree, Cascade Falls, Yosemite 2011 by William Neill
The delicious curving lead from the bottom left is beautifully revealed at this speed and water volume. It fulfils its role perfectly and draws the viewer through the image to the beautiful split rock. more
The Metaphoric Landscape
Ultimately we all find our own ways of translating what we see in the world, in the landscape, and in our own photographs; and with luck, hope that our way of seeing will find resonance for others. more
Janet Matthews
I started visiting woodlands with my camera at a time when I needed a place to reflect on life. This was at the time when the leaves had already fallen, making visible the underlying structures created by the branches and vines. more
Niall Benvie’s Retrospective
Style is something endemic rather than acquired or cultivated. It emerges once you’ve worked through all the external influences that inform your work as you’re making your way. more
Tides and Tempests
I don’t think Tides and Tempests would be happening this year if it weren’t for lockdown and a broken shoulder, both of which kept me at home and gave me time to concentrate on the book. more
Solo Exhibition
Ellie has been working in UK forests for the past ten years, making work which explores the complex interrelationship between the landscape and the individual. more
The Hydrocarbon Forest
In the case of the Allegheny, private access to mineral rights covers 93 percent of the forest area. The impact has been profound. Maps from the 1930s show a dense grid of oil wells stretching for many miles. more
Back to the Future
The more I looked into dry plate, the more appealing it became. Load under safelight, no need for complete darkness, last like film so you can leave them for weeks in the darkslides before use, develop by inspection under safelight....what's not to like? more
End frame: Black Lightning by Peter Jarver
I’d never seen storm images like that before, and I wanted to learn how. It took years of time, many disappointments, a few cameras, and a lot of getting wet, to develop an approach that works most of the time. more
History of Art and Landscape – Part One
One of the key aspects of landscape photography has got to be composition. Given our subject matter rarely has a strong internal narrative and the subject rarely has intrinsic emotional value, our arrangement of content within the frame and its emphasis, lighting, etc. are the main thing we have to work with. more

Tulips from Holland
Flowerbulbs (tulips, narcissus, etc) have been grown in Holland since 1590. Demand for these living colours increased so much around 1634 that bulbs were sold and resold while still in the ground. more
