We interviewed Timo for our Featured Photographer spot back in May 2014. He’s currently in the final stages of preparing a new exhibition of images of the melting polar ice cap which opens in London next week. more
Photography on the Trail
By its very nature, landscape photography requires the photographer to be outdoors. But what happens when you extend that time in the wild to days or weeks? How does that change your approach to photography more

For a few, photography may be about gear and technique; for many, it is an escape from day to day responsibility and the experience is as important as the resultant images; but increasingly its importance is as an outlet for our frustrated creativity. more
First Light Inspired Exhibition Launch 4th March
In Issue 130 we announced the launch of our next exhibition at the Joe Cornish Gallery.

It’s hard to describe your own work, but for me, it’s landscape because it’s about the natural world and my relationship with it and looking at our relationship with the places that we live and visit in the wider sense. more
A look into Romania’s nature
When it comes to the diversity of the land and the animals that populate it, Romania, my home country and a relatively unknown place among photographers, is probably one of the first among the European countries. more
