Paul Kenny and Doug Chinnery
We’ve got a couple of books to review in this issue, both by Kozu and both authors have been featured in On Landscape. Paul Kenny's creations with saltwater, flotsam and jetsam are both fascinating and exquisitely crafted. Doug Chinnery has no secret of the fact that his photography has been influenced by Paul Kenny’s artworks (amongst others). more
“Shaped by the Sea” Book Review
The project can be summarised as covering the tidal zone of Europe’s Western coastline. Theo humbly says “It was never my intention to cover Europe’s entire Atlantic coast” as if this was perhaps a passing thought, discarded at the last minute. more
Extreme Scotland by Nadir Khan
Nadir Khan, who you can read about in this issues Featured Photographer, specialises in photographing this interaction between the most intense of these individuals and our fabulous Scottish landscape. more
In the Dreamtime by Nicki Gwynn-Jones
Being as she has only lived on the island for a couple of years, she has produced some fantastic work and this particular book, printed on Orkney as well, focuses on the flowers and grasses on this windswept land. more
Island by Hans Strand
I know I’m a critical viewer though and a few people have been impressed with the publication when they’ve dropped by and if you’re a big Hans Strand fan (with equally big pockets and arms) then this is probably a must buy. more
Photographing Snowdonia Mountains by Nick Livesey
After an excellent start to the book showing the safety, accessibility and local knowledge aspects of walking in the mountains (i.e. Where to get a good breakfast!) the book’s core content is a series of high-level mountain walks, with viewpoints selected along the way. more
Behind the Photograph by Charlie Waite
If you’re an older photographer, you may remember the original ‘The Making of Landscape Photographs’ and ‘Seeing Landscapes’ books that Charlie produced in the 1990s and if you do then, like me, you would have enjoyed reading his descriptions of how he found and constructed the photographs therein. more
“North West” by Alex Nail
When I spoke to Alex Nail about his work a few years back, he kept saying “Oh I’ve kept a few photos back for the future” I hoped then that he might be planning a book. more
William Neill – Retrospective
William Neill is no stranger to On Landscape, most notably because he runs his own On Landscape column for Outdoor Photographer, but also as we’ve reviewed a few of his e-books previously. more
Sally Mann
I have now read her memoir, Hold Still, twice and am pretty sure I could re-read it several more times, never be bored and continue finding new depths and insights. more
The Landscape Photographer’s Guide to Photoshop – Book Review
The book really shouldn’t be called “A guide to Photoshop” as it’s really a guide to processing images that just happens to use Photoshop as an example. more
Masters of Landscape Photography – Book Review
One of the core concepts of the book is that each photographer therein represents a master of some arena of landscape photography. more
Photographing Scotland – Book Review
The book is actually pretty comprehensive when you’re looking at the classic icons of photography but it will never offer the sort of in-depth coverage that you might get in guides to other areas. more
Capture Lakeland – Book Review
Most of the classic locations in the Lakes are represented, and if James likes an area, you’ll get more photographs of it. more
The Photography of Peter Dombrovskis, Journey Into the Wild
I think it’s safe to say that the new Dombrovskis retrospective was one of my most anticipated books of recent years and sadly, upon having time to study the book at length, it’s also one of the most disappointing. This doesn’t mean that the book doesn’t have value and it is certainly the case that bringing a level of anticipation to any purchase enhances the sense of disappointment when things aren’t quite as expected. Let’s backtrack a little though. Peter more
