Chris Tancock is a photographer living and working in Pembrokeshire, quite close to where I live. Whilst Chris photographs in the landscape, and often his images include wildlife, “traditional” landscape and wildlife photography are genres that he doesn’t particularly warm to. Chris prefers to describe himself as a “rural documentary” or “habitat” photographer. Moreover, he regards himself as a story teller, however, he fails to see how a single image can tell a story. Chris often uses the analogy more →
Any Questions has been running for just over a year and we thought it would be nice just to have a casual chat between the hosts: myself, Joe Cornish and Mark Littlejohn. What we ended up with was a relaxed, whiskey-fueled chat covering personal stories about whisky and photography, the challenges of women's representation in landscape photography, the influence of Scottish geology on photographers, the idea of future podcast guests, and a brainstorm about new ways to explore photographic more →

It all began one misty morning nearly ten years ago, as I meandered on the still-wet sand of Nehalem Bay on the Oregon coast. It was low tide, and as the shroud of fog began to thin, it revealed a long array of brooding, sculptural forms deposited at the farthest edge of the water line. more →
The CFV 100C has a unique solution when hitched to the included 907X camera body. The combination of this, the CFV 100C and the newer tiny (ish) ‘V’ and ‘P’ lenses makes for a very compact and incredibly portable system. more →
After starting with film and moving to digital for its convenience, Przemyslaw has come full circle—now embracing both formats to harness the distinct mood, colour, and character each brings to an image. more →
The viewer’s eye is drawn to a solitary water lily in the lower right corner of the image. It is then guided horizontally toward the bright grass on the left and follows a gentle upward path toward the water lily leaves, which are thoughtfully distributed across the lower branch silhouette. more →
Breaking waves are usually not that spectacular from straight up in my opinion. It is often worthwhile, though, when a wave engulfs a rock slab, which can look very graphic from the air. more →
Torsten Pull’s work is a reflection of his journey—one that intertwines methodical planning with the spontaneity of light, solitude with exploration, and a return to the natural world that once defined his childhood. more →
After reading the poem in more depth, I revisited places mentioned in the text to try and understand what Steve was writing about, but also to try and understand what I felt about the places with this new narrative to work with. more →
Beautiful and helpful though it is to know that we have the capacity for change built into us, the flip side of this reality is that some patterns, once they have been set by an endless mist or by a downpour, can be stubborn. more →
When I look at the Awakening Dragon, I might or might not know anything about where and when the photo was taken, what Alister had in mind, what mood he was in, or what was going on in his life. It doesn't matter to me as a viewer. more →
When it does come, the richer the friendship the deeper is the grief but the greater is the consolation from the good fortune of having had such a friend. Thank you John, my dear friend. more →
Thanks for an interesting article, thought provoking!. I don’t think my camera has been assimilated but then I enjoy the challenge of seeing something and working out how to share best. However can this theory not very well explain why we have an immediate gut appreciation of some images but not [...]
Fascinating discussion which resonated with much of what drives me to go out with my camera. I absolutely understand the fascination with waves breaking over rock; I once spent over an hour watching the sea pound a cliff in the Faroe Islands and photographing the water running off the [...]
