The silent drama of photography | Sebastião SalgadoSalgado is a truly inspirational man and photographer. His story, starting and ending on a poor farm in Brazil, with a life in the middle as an international photographer, and, before that, as an economist, is a lesson for all of us. His return to Brazil in order to work on preservation and re-forestation, and a change of emphasis in his photography to a focus on the world of nature, and away from the often grueling images of the world of man, can be seen in his great body of outstanding images, and outlined by the photographer himself in this video.
Michael KennaThe British photographer Michael Kenna’s minimalist style makes him one of my favourite photographers
Ansel AdamsWhich photographer has not been inspired by the great Ansel Adams?
Andre KerteszI first got to know Kertesz’ work when I saw a copy of a book of images taken in Central Park, New York. He advocated spontaneity (and the use of a hand-held camera when this was unusual) and incorporating abstract lines and shapes in work that showed a great empathy with the people he photographed
Neil BurnellI love the work of this Devon-based photographer. This is a link to his website. https://www.neilburnell.com/galleries
Thomas Heaton, photographer, Lake District, UKThomas Heaton is closely asssociated with his home patch, although recently his profile has become more international. But I still prefer to see him working in the Lake District - the love and empathy for this is reflected in his wonderful images. His open and warm personality have also made him a great YouTube hit.
Adam GibbsThis British-born landscape photographer is based on Vancouver Island, Canada. His website is called “Quiet Light” and this well summarizes Adam’s approach. He has won numerous awards for his incredibly sensitive landscape images, and he has recently published a book of photos. I like his approach to photography as portrayed through his YouTube channel and collaborations with other photographers.
Gavin Hardcastle - "Fototripper"Gavin Hardcastle often manages to hide the fact that he is has an eye for a great photograph with his very funny and often self-deprecating escapades with his fellow photographers on YouTube. He always seems to create an iconic image of the locations he visits, and I love his energy and enthusiasm and 100% commitment to his life as a landscape photographer (before which Gavin worked in the music industry).
Nick PageNick is a landscape photographer from the USA who especially enjoys photographing extreme weather situations. In recent times I have enjoyed his collaborations with Thomas Heaton, Adam Gibbs and Gavin Hardcastle (now officially the G4!). I really like Nick’s images, as well as his YouTube videos which document his thinking, ideas and the stories behind the images.
Simon Baxter - Emotion in PhotographySimon Baxter is a photographer rooted in his own home environment who finds art in local woodlands, and is very much aware of how he can use his work to contribute towards the preservation of the environments which he photographs.
Morten HilmerI find the really well-made films which Morten Hilmer creates of his trips into the frozen wilderness truly inspiring. I love the closeness to nature which is evident, and I much admire his toughness, rigour and organization, without which a lesser mortal would no doubt not survive! Plus I very much enjoy Morten’s images.
Nigel Danson - landscape photographyNigel Danson is a passionate photographer who has documented his own journey as a landscape photographer through his YouTube videos. I like his passion for personal growth and for sharing this with others as a teacher
