Endframe: Rho Ophiuchi Nebuale in Scorpio constellation by Scott Rosen
You can argue astrophotography is more science than art; you are capturing what’s already there. There isn’t any room for different interpretation. It’s not like you can change your composition. more
Endframe: “Deciduous Beech In Winter, Cradle Mountain – Lake St Clair, Tasmania” by Peter Dombrovskis. 1993
The composition is truly exceptional for such a chaotic subject and makes me admire Peter's great eye for these type of scenes. more
Endframe: Basin Mountain, Approaching Storm, by Bruce Barnbaum
I first came across the name Bruce Barnbaum when I bought his book “The Art of Photography: An Approach to Personal Expression”. I remember sitting on the platform at London Bridge Station, waiting for the train home and reading the first pages. I was approached by a stranger who said, “This is the best photography book you’ll ever own.” He was right. I’ve bought dozens of books on photography since then, but this one is still the more
Endframe: “Before the Storm” by Edward S. Curtis
The upper third of the frame contains tempestuous backlit clouds, and the middle of the frame is rounded out by the four Apache riding diagonally away from the camera and into the distance. more
Endframe – Dawn on the Trotternish by David Noton
Since I got into landscape photography seriously, I’ve always admired one man. His dedication to the art is undeniable and his enthusiasm for the subject comes across in floods in his writing and his images. more
Endframe: “Maple and Birch Trunk & Oak Leaves” by Eliot Porter
Almost all the other photographs were obvious subjects – mountains, rivers, etc – photographed in more or less bombastic style. This was a more subtle shot; small trees in a dense woodland arranged all on top of each other in the middle of the frame. more
Endframe: Approaching Storm by Chris Upton
Is it a landscape image or am I just on a nostalgia trip? I’ll let you decide but to me it’s both. A photograph of any type is by definition a moment in time past so the two are probably inexorably linked. A lot of our industrial landscape has slipped away over the years without being captured. more
Endframe: Platon, North Kivu, Eastern Congo by Richard Mosse
I’ve selected the image, ‘Platon, North Kivu, Eastern Congo’ from his series ‘Infra’. Broadly speaking, ‘Infra’ offers what is referred to as a “radical rethinking” to the portrayal of the conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. more
Endframe: Namib Desert 03, Namibia by Bernhard Edmaier
After years of trying to achieve such clarity through simplicity in my own work, I have really come to admire Bernhard Edmaier’s stunning aerial photographs more
Endframe: Oriental II by John Paul Caponigro
John Paul Caponigro use of colour, tonality, light and subject matter never ceases to amaze me and repeat visits to his work are always rewarding. Whenever I flick through the book, regularly pausing to take in the imagery, there is one page that is most salient to me more
Endframe: Bulldogs by Elliott Erwitt
Verbal humour is slippery. To get a joke requires a subtle understanding of language and culture. The fact that visual humour is universally understood leads to an interesting conundrum. Why are there so few photographers who are known for their conscious use of visual humour? more
Endframe: Contours in Blue by Joe Cornish
The picture is primarily wave-worn undulating grey limestone rock, with some pebbles and small pools of sea water that are in the process of drying out. And yet what we see is definitely not it what it says on the tin’s list of contents. more
Endframe: David with daughters, 2008 by Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen
I think landscape photography is a valid and impossibly important vehicle for storytelling, as much as any other form of photography, documentary or conceptual. more
Endframe: Gondola, Venice by Charlie Waite
I'm grateful it inspired me to think differently about all aspects of my work. At first sight I enjoyed its simplicity and then an analytical study revealed just how carefully the image had been considered. more
Endframe: “Nianån Creek in winter” by Hans Strand
It took me quite a while to decide which image I would like to write about in the End Frame, as there are so many images that influenced me in a significant way, and even more that are a pleasure to look at. more
