Judging the Judges
One of the transformations I witnessed over the years in how and why people practice photography, is the rise in popularity of participating in competitions and in critique sessions. more
Interview with Ben Horne
This issue we have a long awaited interview with Ben Horne, the You Tube'ing large format photographer from the US. We caught up with Ben just after his latest Zion trip. more
Sharp but not Sharper
I would like to consider the well established idea that sharper is always better and whether we could adopt an alternative qualitative measurement system instead. more
Nicki Gwynn-Jones
A number of us have been enjoying the images that she’s shared on social media this year of Orkney’s wildflowers and wild waves, more
The Photography of Peter Dombrovskis, Journey Into the Wild
I think it’s safe to say that the new Dombrovskis retrospective was one of my most anticipated books of recent years and sadly, upon having time to study the book at length, it’s also one of the most disappointing. This doesn’t mean that the book doesn’t have value and it is certainly the case that bringing a level of anticipation to any purchase enhances the sense of disappointment when things aren’t quite as expected.

Earth Stands Still
Nils Karlson’s photography mines a popular seam of creativity, the liquid horizon. That unearthly split between liquid and gaseous holds a mirror up to light, weather and flow. more
The Making of Time
Telling the story so people can understand it and connect with it. So we've done a few events like that and selling the book at the end. They carry the story, not just a book. more
Humanising the Machine
I realise with some joy that the camera is with me. There is no doubt in my mind that now is the time to photograph, to alloy emotions to appearances, to distil the experience into visual journal entries more
Gary Wagner
An understanding of light links his commercial work and his personal landscape photography which he talks about more for us in this issue. more
Finding the forest when lost amongst the trees
In photography though that word implies the ability for artistic vision. The ability to isolate and focus on those visual elements that will be key to self expression. more
The Decaying Alps
The reality I saw was quite different, and yet perhaps no different to any other mountain landscape. Switzerland is a developed country, not a wilderness. Humanity’s presence is everywhere – even if landscape photography rarely embraces that presence to its full extent. more
