Introduction from book Charlotte Bellamy, a creative landscape photographer based in The Netherlands, (originally from the UK) started working with the idea of projects in her photography after completing her Master Craftsman qualification with the Guild of Photographers in 2018. Before that, life was a process of capturing individual images, but now, working in sets is second nature to her....

Barbary Castle Marlborough Downs 1948 Bill Brandt is a photographer that is probably well known to a generation of photographers who worked in the sixties and seventies (and maybe the eighties) but unless you are the investigative sort, you may have only heard the name in passing and not realised that he had a passion for landscape photography (he is...

Unlike many of the photographers we have discussed in our ongoing Masters section, John wasn’t a photographer from childhood, being more obsessed with drawing wildlife. His passion for photography was inspired when his mother sent him an issue of Picture Post when he was in Africa when serving in the RAF as a nurse. This edition had some extracts from...

Hopefully, you enjoyed the introduction, as in this issue Jennifer is our Featured Photographer. In a relatively short time, Jennifer has created a strong portfolio of images, and while it is broader than our selection, it is clear that her forte is intimate,...

...And it’s interesting to see that many of the themes I shoot today caught my eye when I was young. Who (photographers, artists or individuals) or what has most inspired you, or driven you forward in your own development as a photographer? I pored over the work of many different types of photographers and admire still a broad range of...

Who do you think we should feature as our next photographer? I'll recommend Italian photographer, Roberto Nencini. I have been following his work for a few years now and he captures the landscape...
