  • Maybe black and white is the best medium for landscapes, I don't know.

  • I've been working with the land for most of my life; walking it and photographing it. And I love it to bits.

  • But I was, and still am, an avid reader and so when I first started I chose to photograph many of the great writers in this country to try and earn a living.

  • The viewer must bring their own view to a photograph.

  • What I loathe is the multi-national conglomerates who must take responsibility for the degradation and pollution of so much of our landscape with their factory farming and greed.

  • I like photographs which leave something to the imagination.

  • I have always loved reading, so was interested in the literary world, and took many literary portraits.

  • I'm not faithful to one particular medium, and it's what I try to teach to people who work with me.

  • I hardly teach. It's more like a gathering of minds looking at one subject and learning from each other. I enjoy the process.

  • I have always been a very keen walker, though, and I often took a camera with me on my walks.

  • I don't get wrapped up in technique and the like.

  • I don’t get wrapped up in technique and the like. I have a simple rule and that is to spend as much time in the location as possible. You can’t expect to take a definitive image in half an hour. It takes days, often years. And in fact I don’t believe there is such a thing as a definitive picture of something. The land is a living, breathing thing and light changes its character every second of every day. That’s why I love it so much.

  • I had no aspirations to become a landscape photographer at all. In fact it was portraiture that was my beginning, I suppose. I have always been a very keen walker, though, and I often took a camera with me on my walks. But I was, and still am, an avid reader and so when I first started I chose to photograph many of the great writers in this country to try and earn a living.

  • It was 1966 by the time I started taking pictures seriously and books, newspapers and magazines of the time were full of great pictures that helped to inspire me.

  • I had been working in colour for ten years or so and looked at digital and liked the possibilities it gave me.

  • Look at lots of exhibitions and books, and don't get hung up on cameras and technical things. Photography is about images.
