An alternative view…
As always, my inclination is to look for things other than the grand vista to photograph, to search for things that speak to me more of what I personally consider the essence of this place more

Linda Lashford
I think I am a traveller who makes portraits of the places I encounter. The landscape might be the whole subject, or it might be the canvas on which other things are imprinted more

Originally called ‘Focus’, the Photography Show includes nearly all of the big manufacturers and lots of little ones as well. We’ve been helping Paula Pell-Johnson with the Linhof Studio stand for the last few years and this year we’ve ramped things up a bit as we’re managing the ‘Talks Hub’, a quarter of the Paula’s whole stand given over to expert talks on a variety of subjects from the likes of David Ward, Doug Chinnery, Dan Rubin, David Higgs, Joe more
Creative Lightroom Pt 9

The Perils of Social Photography
Discussions of photography most often focus on aspects of making images—tools, techniques, locations, subject matter, etc. All are important, to be sure, but one topic that is consistently neglected and that, in my opinion, is equally worthy of consideration is the photographer’s motivation. more
Compositional Controversies
Composition can be rightly regarded as the ‘internal’ signature of the photographer. That is not to say that a photographer’s work will be instantly recognisable in every photograph. more
Justin Minns
Immersing yourself in something you enjoy doing in such peaceful surroundings puts life’s daily worries into perspective. I hadn’t thought about it until now but it combines the things I’ve always had a passion for more
Welcome to the Edge
There is something to be said in landscape photography of the virtues of studying ‘the edge’ of things. more
Musical Secrets…
I attended a workshop held at Woodford Folk Festival (December 2002) where a panel of musicians revealed their methods for unleashing their creativity, when they find a creative block. On reflection I found their advice was accurate for me as a visual artist, which I was able to apply to my own creative endeavour of taking photographs. more
Ghosts

Recently I've been hearing stories about how landscape photographers are abusing the landscape more than being its guardians. I've seen the apalling state of the ground near iconic photo locations, the shouts and scuffles when people's photographs are blocked and even recently a fire caused by a flaming steel wool wielding photographer - all in all a generally irreverent approach to nature that forgets its importance to not only our pastimes but to our very lives.
