As Long as I Can
These lists I keep making each year, which end up taking me to places I wasn’t destined to see, let alone photograph. more

Following on from Tim’s article about Aspen (Populus tremuloides) in Issue 336, we’ve received a wide range of responses. The images explore the species from different perspectives — from detailed studies of bark and leaf to wider views showing aspen in its landscape. more
A Brief Rant About Film
Once, as a society, we cherished the “Kodak Moment,” a marketing masterstroke that now feels quaint, a victim of what I’ll call photobesity: a deluge of snapshots made so mindlessly and frequently that they’ve devolved into pullulating yottabytes of digital dross. more
Should landscape photography always please us?
I discovered that I am often more fascinated by pictures that I don’t immediately recognize or understand—no ‘celebration of recognition’. Or I wonder why the photographer made this picture, and I am caught by the question, ‘What is it?’ more
The Alternative ‘Movement’
Silver-based film and traditional darkroom printing are making a healthy comeback in art colleges and among amateurs. Whether silver-gelatin is really ‘alternative’ photography is a moot point. more
Convergent vs. Divergent Thinking in Photography
Even if you’ve shifted your creative process and focus, your past work doesn’t have to be left behind. Sometimes, the old and the new can converge in surprising ways—and that’s a pretty exciting thought for any photographer. more
Moving Back to Analog
After starting with film and moving to digital for its convenience, Przemyslaw has come full circle—now embracing both formats to harness the distinct mood, colour, and character each brings to an image. more

Choosing to follow an instinctive rather than intellectual pathway through an image and its supporting text does not necessarily weaken the veracity of the subject matter either. more

I had long been a fan of early nineteenth-century black-and-white photos taken before and after the “inverse mountain” became a national park in 1919. more
Making the most of your photography with older equipment
Spending £1,600 on a compact camera with 40 megapixels or £6,000 on a 60 megapixel body is not something that the vast majority of amateur and professional photographers can justify. more
Love of a mountain
I reflect on the present and what seems to be the expected. Unfortunately, I think photography becomes a reflection of the society and culture around us. more
Photographing the Simple Beauty of Nature
It is a rewarding experience for me to interact with people in this way, and it goes a long way towards alleviating my early concerns that landscape photography is simply a self-indulgent activity. more
Cloud Allusions
In this series of three articles, my intention is to examine some ideas about the practise of landscape photography in the light of the teachings of Zen Buddhism. more
Into a Forest’s Breath
Most of my projects usually imply very long periods of waiting, and this one was no exception. I am lucky enough to live in a house with a magnificent view over the Portofino promontory. more
