The Dunes at Oceano
The area has an interesting history and has been the subject of some classic photographs, most notably by Edward Weston, his son Brett Weston and Ansel Adams more
Ditching Graduated Filters
Setting aside my own experiences there are many reasons to make the case for a “gradless” capture process. more
A Question of Meaning
I believe that what a photograph is about is but one manifestation of self-expression. I express myself in every photograph by way of the decisions I make at the time of capture and in processing. more
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
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
Why are neutral density graduated filters so popular?
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 strong fascination with the concept of time has permeated my work from the very beginning and indeed now, in retrospect, I realise it might well be the reason why I chose photography as a medium of personal expression and investigation of the world I live in. more
Dispatches from the collapse
When I created the images in the series, Dispatches from the collapse, hope was far from my mind. Rather, I imagined the pieces as relics found in a drawer in an abandoned house, decades from now. more
Multiple Exposure, Layers, Textures ….. and all that Jazz
Cheryl Hamer and Glenys Garnett are landscape photographers who ‘come at’ their landscapes from a slightly different perspective; here they explore both their differences and their similarities and how the march of technology continues to aid and abet their creativity. more
Photographic Pedagogy
Beyond any subject taught in any class, I believe that it is also the duty of any teacher to instil in students critical thinking skills, creativity being just one. more
Nick Stone
His photographs are supported by and integral with his writing about the traces that the landscape carries of our influence and interference - often things that we overlook, simply don’t see or choose to ignore. more

Do we have a Voice? And does being an outdoor photographer inevitably lead to environmentalism? And if so, what if anything are our responsibilities? more
