The restorative effects of landscape photography
For so many landscape photographers, there is a reverence for nature that is reflected in our images. The natural world provides relief from the burdens of everyday life, with studies showing that time spent in nature has a measurable positive effect on our stress levels and state of mind. more
Time to reflect…
Mystery lurks in the disparity between how I see and how the camera sees. I’m more interested in the ways in which they imperfectly match than in any apparent congruence. more
In Defence of Lost Causes
Initially, I was drawn to the family connection, but later after researching early aircraft defence experiments I became fascinated by the story of the sound mirrors. more
End frame: “The Labyrinth” by Peter Dombrovskis
Then I asked myself why I was searching for a favourite image when it has been hanging on the wall for the past 10 or 15 years — and I’m still not tired of it! It’s “The Labyrinth” by Tasmanian wilderness photographer Peter Dombrovskis. more

Idaho’s Sawtooth Mountains are a small cluster of rugged granite peaks and crystal clear lakes, linked together by forests of pine. more
Pathos on Shetland
This set of images, from my current researches, were taken on a trip to Shetland, in March this year. They are examples of where my motivation for taking the image is that I have perceived pathos, isolation, a feeling of being left behind in such human constructions. more
Val d’Orcia – Tuscany

Varieties of Experience
Appreciating the experience of a chance encounter with beauty as worthy in itself, requiring no further qualification to be regarded as unequivocally good, already makes the entire photographic endeavour a positive and venerable one. more
Skye – off the beaten track
In April, Tim and I went to the Isle of Skye for two days to see if we could get away from the madding crowds (even on a busy Bank holiday). I think we did OK but we wanted to ask our subscribers to send in their images from less travelled Skye locations. Although we're sure a fair few people would rather keep some locations quiet, a few people were willing to share there own favourite spots. A big more
Jo Stephen
A few years ago, I set out to try and capture images that illustrated the ephemeral quality of the nature around me. I wanted to explore the movement of energy between subject and landscape. more

Although I am dedicated to the post-production stages of photography I also believe that getting things ‘right’ in camera makes the editing stage a great deal more enjoyable. more
A Path Not Far
The project, or series of photographs, is from the local area where I live, West Lothian. West Lothian itself is geographical quite a small county situated in the central belt of Scotland more
