End frame: Dorset, 1986 by Sir Don McCullin
McCullin’s landscapes have helped to inspire me to look more carefully at my immediate surroundings, with a view to taking photographs, and to broaden my ideas about what makes a suitable subject for a photograph. more

Joe Cornish – Fisherfield Forest, Scotland
It was a pleasure to host Joe Cornish for a few days at the start of June and he had just come back from a trip with his son Sam and Alex Nail. more

Overcoming Obstacles to Idea Generation and Evaluation
At a very high level, creativity is a process that involves the sophisticated interplay of two mechanisms: idea generation and idea evaluation. more

Acquisitions and Inquisitions
This paradox springs from the fact that photographers’ peers are seen as both their preferred audience and their competition for the acquisition of images. Photographers want to brag about where they’ve been to people who they think will appreciate it. more

Tara Workman – Portrait of a Photographer
I am also impressed with her bravery in pursuing and sharing images where the subject may be out of focus or where no compositional rules are followed. more

Jennifer Renwick
