Paulo Valdivia
After talking to Paulo, and reflecting on the many interviews I’ve undertaken for On Landscape, it’s clear that for everyone inspired at an early age by a parent or relative, there will be others who come to photography later in life. It doesn’t really matter when you start making images or begin any new creative pursuit, so long as the timing is of your choosing, and you trust yourself. What comes across in our interview with Paulo is a more
Being Explored by the Landscape
Photography has also forced me to really look. The trees used to be just trees, bushes were bushes and in the sky, there could be clouds and maybe it rained. But now I see shapes, patterns and relationships. more
Photographing the Un-Grand Landscape
With a fine-tuned ability to see, photographic opportunities will inevitably increase; but that will be of small value unless there is a willingness to receive them with an open mind. more

End Frame: Gull’s Nest, Midsummer Eve, Isle of Skye by Bill Brandt
I saw this at an exhibition sometime in the 1980s and it made a deep impression on me. The nest in the foreground with its three eggs and a single feather has a wonderful sense of intimacy, of secrecy. more

The Perfect Landscaper’s Camera?

What Is Real?
We must be unapologetic and explicit in our aim to show viewers things they almost certainly would not see on their own, to inspire in our viewers experiences they would never have if it were not for our subjective sensibilities and feelings, our creative and expressive skills, and not just our technical abilities. more
G Dan Mitchell
It was probably over a decade ago, more like 15 years I imagine, when I first saw Dan's photographs. I think it may have been on Fred Miranda or possibly via a blog circle. more
Jennifer Renwick – Portrait of a Photographer
I decided to focus on the artwork of a photographer who has long inspired me, not only because her photographs are powerful, evocative, and unique, but because she is one heck of an amazing person and a fabulous steward of the natural places we all cherish. more
Familiarity Breeds Content
Many photographers believe that repeatedly visiting a location not only gives them that familiarity with the area to more easily get better photographs of subjects they know well, but crucially they also find it easier to make more incisive new images, showing the character of a location and how it changes with light, weather, seasons and indeed the photographer’s own mood. more
West of the Sun
Back in January one of our readers, Anna McNay, got in touch to see if we'd be interested in an interview with Toby Deveson. He uses his old Nikkormat and the same 24mm lens that he ‘borrowed’ from your father more than 20 years ago. He finalises each frame in-camera and doesn't crop images in the darkroom. I more
The Devil’s Dictionary
Many of you will already know or will have heard of The Devil’s Dictionary by Ambrose Bierce which is often cited as one of the greatest satirical works of American literature. more

End frame: Lone Tree by Michael Kenna
The simple delineation between the ground and sky using subtle changes of grey tones allows the curved V-shaped horizon to sweep across the image gently and is critical in forming a feeling of depth and space. more
