INDEX
Lavertezzo, Valle Verzasca, Switzerland. March 2018.
The olive groves in Calabria, allegorically veiled by modern late harvesting methods.
One from the archives - some glimpses of the Recoleta cemetery in Buenos Aires, photographed in 2013. All taking with a Sigma DP2 Merrill camera, which I no longer have.
Some recommended destinations
The Photo Fundamentalist
The Photo Fundamentalist is the creation of travel / reportage / landscape photographer Tom Stanworth. It features a blend of erudite, entertaining wiring on photography, photographers, books, and, yes a bit of gear. Tom’s photography itself is the centrepiece though, although you you have to dig a bit to find his portfolios. Best find of 2015 so far.
Daniel Bergmann
Although Iceland is possibly approaching over-exposure as a photographic subject, Daniel’s nature photography has a luminescent, three dimensional quality which stands well above most others. If you want to see just how good Icelandic - indeed any - nature photography can be, his web site is not to be missed. There is really soul in his work, a quality very rarely found in this field of photography. He’s also an excellent workshop leader. And he can stand on his head.
Daisy Gilardini
A veteran of some 20 polar expeditions of various kinds, Daisy is a dedicated award-winning, widely published nature and wildlife photographer, as well as a strong advocate for environmental issues. She is also an accomplished speaker and presenter, and can often be found as resident photographer on Arctic and Antarctic cruise ships.
Alessandra Meniconzi
Alessandra Meniconzi is a hyperactive, award-winning, globetrotting humanist and nature photographer, who is also slightly insane. When not documenting native peoples of the high Arctic, or mountain biking to China, she’s climbing up African volcanos. Her new website is highly recommended, as are her books on China, Iceland and the Silk Road.
Ira Meyer
Ira Meyer chronicles the Polar regions through his vivid, romantic photography. His style is full of energy and light, a refreshing change from the gloom and darkness which many seem to want to emphasise in the high latitudes. His latest book, Ice At The Ends of the Earth, has received a well-desrved enthusiastic reception.
