Read excerpt
Welcome back to Substack Spotlight, my series of conversations with photographers and creatives here on Substack whose work has really moved me. So far I’ve chatted with NoOne, perfectlight and Jon Gibbs, and this time I’m heading into the woods.If you’ve been following along this year, you’ll
A Slow Week and Retrospective - Photoweek: #37 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After last weeks extremely productive week of photography, this week was the polar opposite and extremely unproductive by comparison.

Losing the Wood for the Trees (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most photographers have a subject that defeats them. Portraits. Maybe sport. Or anything involving people looking directly at the lens. Mine is woodland.I find woodland photography hard. Sometimes almost impossible.Don’t get me wrong, I’ve taken images of plenty of lone trees that I genuinely like. But of all the genres and all the subject matter I point a camera at, woodland is the one where the misses outnumber the hits by a noticeable margin.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="
