Well, this is really a hard one as there many great landscape photographers. Looking at my bookcase I see several Joe Cornish and David Ward’s but I also see New Zealand’s Andris Apse and...

Back in March, Joe Cornish wrote an article about "A question of responsibility ~ Does being an outdoor photographer inevitably lead to environmentalism?". Continuing this theme we interviewed J Henry Fair, who is an American photographer and environmental activist.

...both beautiful and inspirational, many of whom are household names the likes of Joe Cornish, Charlie Waite, David Noton, Ansel Adams to name but a few, all of which have changed the way we look at photography and the way we take or make photographs depending on your opinion.
