Turning Back from the Edge of the World
Overall the mood is quite dark and brooding. There is even a sense of melancholia, particularly if we bring our knowledge of these deserted, abandoned islands to the image itself. At St Kilda and Boreray we have reached the end of the world but we are not welcome. more
Paulo Valdivia
After talking to Paulo, and reflecting on the many interviews I’ve undertaken for On Landscape, it’s clear that for everyone inspired at an early age by a parent or relative, there will be others who come to photography later in life. It doesn’t really matter when you start making images or begin any new creative pursuit, so long as the timing is of your choosing, and you trust yourself. What comes across in our interview with Paulo is a more
What Is Real?
We must be unapologetic and explicit in our aim to show viewers things they almost certainly would not see on their own, to inspire in our viewers experiences they would never have if it were not for our subjective sensibilities and feelings, our creative and expressive skills, and not just our technical abilities. more
G Dan Mitchell
It was probably over a decade ago, more like 15 years I imagine, when I first saw Dan's photographs. I think it may have been on Fred Miranda or possibly via a blog circle. more
Jennifer Renwick – Portrait of a Photographer
I decided to focus on the artwork of a photographer who has long inspired me, not only because her photographs are powerful, evocative, and unique, but because she is one heck of an amazing person and a fabulous steward of the natural places we all cherish. more
Kevin Krautgartner
For the ultimate in abstracts, take to the air. From the glacial rivers in Iceland that we have become familiar with to the landscapes of Australia, Kevin Krautgartner’s images show that there is plenty to find and enjoy at a larger scale. more
When Time, and Trees, Stood Still
Although photography is a visual medium I like the idea, or sense, of listening to the trees, of being receptive to their whispering voices. And I heard that there is much to be said for standing still. more
The Plain
Through my work as a photographer, I have also spent time in different kinds of landscapes; landscapes which are embedded with the aftermath and traces of war (as in Kosovo), or which are marked out as land under military occupation (as in The Plain). more
Lockdown Podcast #12
The weather is a continual topic of conversation for many living in the British Isles, and for landscape photographers, it becomes something of an obsession. more
Creativity and Personality
Despite so many challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the requirement for social distancing also created opportunities for me to spend more time doing virtual presentations for camera clubs and other photography groups, answering photographers’ questions on a variety of topics. To my surprise, topics related to psychology seem to have been a recurring theme. more
Joel Truckenbrod – Portrait of a Photographer
I do not think that nature and landscape photography always need to evoke positive emotions and I love the fact that Joel’s work can evoke both positive and negative emotions and feelings. more
Margaret Soraya
My affinity with Scotland is deep, and I feel that relationship is important. There is something powerful about photographing a place that means something to you. more
Cleveland Hills, Winter Storm
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
Luke Brown
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
Peter Eastway
Sometimes it’s good to swap sides of the desk and for this issue, we are interviewing Peter Eastway, who among many other things is Editor and Publisher of Better Photography Magazine. more
