It may not always culminate in a completed image but post-investigation, there can be a very pleasing moment when a decision is made to embark on the business of making the image. I saw hulls repeating the slopes of Fuji and keels reflecting the fissures in the snow-covered slopes. These relationships signalled me to proceed. 15.75 × 15.75 in Edition of 50 Ref: 015042 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1741293296222-VQ5R7QRVNZQ568PFFWIX/OLMSTEAD-POINT-YOSEMITE-NATIONAL-PARK.jpg Monochrome - Olmsted Point, Yosemite, USA, 2005 Handmade Silver Gelatin Print Mount Signed & Editioned 8 × 8 in Edition of 10 Ref: 050018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1741293295774-U7OFE19CLGK5NZKR5WT3/Opera-House.jpg Monochrome - Sydney Opera House, Australia, 2002 Handmade Silver Gelatin Print Mount Signed & Editioned 8 × 8 in Edition of 10 Ref: 040027 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1741293048558-NNGKT0WN274NNX5757MH/Morocco.jpg Monochrome - Morocco, Africa, 2004 Handmade Silver Gelatin Print Mount Signed & Editioned 8.5 × 5.5 in Edition of 10 Ref: 010032 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1741293047137-TW4Y1MSWF5HY3DRKMZ70/Mopti.jpg Monochrome - Mopti, Mali Landscape photography can be a sedate, contemplative business with the variables of sky, wind and light sometimes appearing to conspire together to deny me the sought-for image. To add human activity on water resulted in an endeavour that was far from calm. Just examining the negative before a print was made, told me that the brightly lit pleats and ruffles in the net fitted with the cirrus cloud and that the knot of the net would be hung fleetingly directly above the fisherman’s hand.

Within ten minutes of driving, I noticed a glimmer of eastern amber light. Two minutes later I was presented with one of the most heavenly landscapes I have ever seen. 15.75 × 15.75 in Edition of 50 Ref: 020021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1741721179051-UGHPL9X5LONQNGY2XH25/A4_BUTTERMERE+UK+lr.jpg Colour - Landscapes - Buttermere II, Cumbria, England It seems to me that a greater sense of depth and continuity is promoted where distant lines of layers and folds in the landscape are not interrupted by any vertical. The lonely tree fitted well with its top right-hand slope angled and shaped as the highest hill above. Depth helps to mitigate the two-dimensional nature of photography. It was something of a game between me and the clouds as, for nearly an hour, they conspired to deny me the stab of light that I wanted. Finally, for a mere few seconds, the tree acquired its deserved nobility and stature as the sun honoured it with oblique, early warm autumnal light. 15.75 × 15.75 in Edition of 50 Ref: 060217 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1741720996958-LBYI8CCXHSHDGXRA24EY/Rydal+Water+Boathouse+lr.jpg Colour - Landscapes - Rydal Water, Cumbria, England I have returned to this magical place many times and stood in the same spot, in high summer, mid-winter and again during many an autumn, yet none of those subsequent visits moved me in the way that my first one did. Perhaps there is much to be said for the ‘meant to be’ line; it certainly seemed to be so for me all those years ago. 15.75 × 15.75 in Edition of 50 Ref: 060012 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1742155453044-JVKATAXJ9S9CZZNE734E/060017-Willoughby+Hedge-Wiltshire-England.jpg Colour - Landscapes - Willoughby Hedge, Wiltshire, England, 2000 This dear tree is one of my best friends in the West Country. I have known it for more than thirty years. I have seen this fellow through every stage of the seasons, in so much leaf as to surely weigh an extra ton, and dressed in shimmering bronze with the side light of an October afternoon. I have stopped and greeted my tree in fog, driving rain, sleet and snow, in the fiercest of gales and in the stillest air, during the furnace heat of high summer. We are pals, this tree and I. 20 × 15 in Edition of 50 Ref: 060017 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1742156452567-GA9PQXF1BUU0DZEC564N/020050+Autoire.jpg Colour - Landscapes - Autoire, The Lot, France Romance, nostalgia and sorrow came to my mind when I arrived here. Splatterings of orange lent a little warmth to a brutally cold Christmas day morning. I wondered how much time would pass before more hard frosts would eventually cause this dwelling to crumble; I knew there would be no one to prevent it from doing so. 23.5 × 15.75 in Edition of 50 Ref: 020050 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1743091366180-7WUQJAFHM0L5ING8FKM7/WEST+OF+CHILD+OAKFORD+v3.jpg Colour - Landscapes - West of Child Okeford, Cranborne Chase, Dorset, England On arrival here, there was a suitable warmish light prevailing and no breeze, so I chose a small aperture for good depth of field with the necessary longer shutter speed. The resulting photograph was just what I had hoped, yet the intriguing bluish tint to the trees was the first time I had seen it in many years. During the few seconds of exposure, an unannounced rogue wind crept across the middle distance of the scene, leaving the grasses at the centre of the photograph unsharp. Despite this breeze appearing to be the undoing of my photograph, along with the blue tint of the trees, it nevertheless has a huge appeal to me. 21 × 15.75 in Edition of 25 Ref: 060024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1741721045378-GCRIJL4G5VQJ0DGR6FM9/STONEHENGE.jpg Colour - Landscapes - Near Stonehenge, Wiltshire, England When I discovered these ‘bale couplets’ I was both delighted and disappointed. Delighted by the perfect bale relationships yet disappointed by the dull blue monotonous sky. I urged the powers that be to come to my assistance. A few moments later, I almost shuddered with disbelief. It must have been at least a mile to the west that I saw a collection of building cumulus seemingly approaching me. Yet not for a moment did I assume that they would retain their design. As I lingered in an extraordinary period of anticipation, those clouds delivered a moment of pure joy to me. It was as if they knew, they positioned themselves in a most perfect way above the bales. No more to say except immense gratitude tinged with so much emotion. It may seem sentimental, but as I left this place, I said ‘thank you’. 15.75 × 15.75 in Edition of 50 Ref: 060016 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1741712225366-XO9OE5JOKPRU0M7AX12A/Young-Chestnut-Tree-Dorset.jpg Colour - Landscapes - Young Chestnut Tree, Dorset, England, 1984 Over a period of time, probably a few years, I made good friends with this chestnut tree. I accompanied it through its adolescence and, every spring, I looked forward to this magical moment when it burst into blossom. Thankfully, the sky chose to perform for me on that day, it lifted my spirits, and this dear chestnut tree, accompanied by a yellow carpet was there to be savoured and wondered at. 15.75 × 15.75 in Edition of 25 Ref: 060220 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1742754553493-C9NNKNQ8P0MYE78XZ7TH/CHICKLADE%2C+WILTSHIRE.jpg Colour - Landscapes - Chicklade, England From his tractor, the farmer asked me what I was doing, standing on a step ladder at the edge of his field. I told him I was photographing the amazing phenomenon of flax and oilseed rape flowering adjacent to one another. ‘You’re profiting from my error and I am the laughing stock of the farming community, as I planted the rape late and it is flowering in June at the same time as the flax and it didn’t ought to do that,’ he replied. I thanked him for his error and waited for the storm clouds to arrange themselves. As I left, he grinned broadly and bellowed across the tractor’s growling engine that I would never see the same again. In thirty years, I never have. 15.75 × 15.75 in Edition of 50 Ref: 060015 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1742491115221-NS45W40UE9ZD17AQCFKN/Sossusvlei%2C+Namibia.jpg Colour - Landscapes - Sossusvlei, Namibia, 2004 My first visit to Namibia will never be forgotten. The route to Sossuvlei passed this immense orange mountain, and it was one of the most welcoming sites for me. I recall thinking that no one would accept this outrageous vivid orange, yet when the pigmy trees set themselves against the base I had no choice but to pause and produce a photograph with a wonderful 6×17cm panoramic camera. Within a few minutes of showing this photograph for the first time, I received the following response….. ‘surely you have increased the saturation in that photograph’. 35.5 × 12 in Edition of 25 Ref: 010038 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1741712067615-Z8XCCS9LSZH7P9B7GAC5/LAKE-TITICACA.jpg Colour - Landscapes - Lake Titicaca, Bolivia To the south of the lake was the distant mountain range of the Cordilleras. The arrangement of cloud above their peaks was staggering. I understood that it could only work if I could drop the apexes of both triangles of sail and thatched shelter under the distant cloud bank. I had begged the teacher from the nearby small school to borrow two battered school desks and, standing precariously on them and on tiptoe, I was triumphant! When I first arrived, the boat had not appeared. Of all the colours the sail could have been, it was sapphire blue. 35.5 × 12 in Edition of 25 Ref: 050008 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1741712184731-4NHHY4WM3FM9E9AEQ7OV/Sossusvlei-III.jpg Colour - Landscapes - Sossusvlei III, Namibia The majestic Namib Rand desert five minutes after sunrise still remains one the most overwhelming visual experiences I have ever known. The interlocking of elements was photographic ecstasy. 10 minutes later, the scene was unrecognisable.

I had thought that I was to be entirely alone here, yet just as I was setting up, I heard the uncertain choking of a Deux Chevaux come to a stop by my side. The driver claimed that these were his trees and so, with a reluctant apology, I began to pack up and leave. With a mischievous laugh, he told me that of course they were not ‘his trees’ but that he had always loved them and for twenty years he had promised himself that one day he would take a photograph of the trees, as I was now doing. He joked that an Englishman had beaten him to it. 15.75 × 15.75 in Open Edition Ref: 020029 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1742159386426-ZI6Y1GN8XLXADPVH92NN/The+Lot%2C+Dordogne%2C+France.jpg Colour - Landscapes - Dordogne, France, 1990 Any tree avenue is reminiscent of a cathedral nave and always compels me to try and harness the feeling of protection and safety that I receive from entering. The focus is obviously at the end, and, as with an altar or grand manor house, my finale may be a curve away - a distant hill or perhaps a white wine bottle shape made up of branches, leaves and light. 15.75 × 15.75 in Open Edition Ref: 020034 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1742319834315-9UD74P10XX9MR8EC9BIX/Somme.jpg Colour - Landscapes - The Somme, Verdun, France There have been so many times when I have wanted a light breeze and a hard light in order to make a photograph that fits with my compositional wishes, and I am not granted such a breeze nor such light. I had waited for some five days, and must admit that during that time I occasionally spent time slumbering in my car. Thankfully, during the sixth morning, and while I was again in a state of slumber, a crow landed on the bonnet of my car and woke me up, allowing me to achieve my photograph. I have always liked crows, and now I know why! 15.75 × 15.75 in Edition of 40 Ref: 020018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1741712067677-VPLAZGSIVCGN5SBUOXEM/Islay-Hebrides.jpg Colour - Landscapes - Islay, Hebrides, Scotland Everything appeared to be right about this place. The boat was traditional, nothing was obtrusive and all was sublimely at rest. No rush to reach for the camera: time to drink in and absorb. I was disturbed for some time about the froth in the immediate foreground and wondered whether I should crop the image, however, despite the merits of such cropping, I remained loyal to the square. For me, no other place to personifies calm. The isolation of the small dinghy suggests vulnerability. The canopy of broken magenta cloud dropping little pale puffballs of reflection across the water’s surface pleases me. I can enjoy this photograph for its utter simplicity, and for perhaps the oddest of reasons: the bow of the boat points away and upward to the distance. If I were to return, I would hope to find this modest little clinker-built dinghy in the same place; I could not bear to think it would ever go anywhere. 15.75 × 15.75 in Edition of 50 Ref: 060502 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1741712147150-BLVFZPPQEMSYN9PJ7264/PUMPKINS-VERMONT.jpg Colour - Landscapes - Pumpkins, Vermont, USA Layers of texture and interest revealed themselves to me and, undeniably, the rich tonal shades of Autumn could not be resisted.

Over a period of an hour or so, they gradually complied and thankfully chose to remain paddling, whilst still maintaining their line. Despite my silent pleas not to do so and my concern that the photograph may lose its cohesion, a few stubbornly decided to lie down. 23.5 × 23.5 in Edition of 75 Ref: 060505 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1742576301671-M4XB72FQ1N32PUBUHE3Z/San+Quirico+d%27Orcia+Tuscany.jpg Colour - Landscapes - San Quirico d'Orcia, Tuscany, Italy, 1990 The heavy rain lasted for over 30 minutes and I was thankful for the large black plastic refuse bag, which gave me sufficient protection as I sat huddled awaiting the sun to arrive. I had momentarily gone to sleep and was awakened by a sensation of comforting warmth on my back. Hard sunlight was being absorbed and warming me through the black plastic. I awoke from my doze suddenly and, thankfully, was just in time before any of the dark forbidding sky had been replaced by a blue sky that would have undermined the theatricality of the photograph. The single poppy and the yellow flowers enlivened the foreground just sufficiently. 23.5 × 15.75 in Edition of 50 Ref: 030900 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1742576754544-XU3N7S7SNH7M8OSIKT2H/Cranborne+Chase%2C+England.jpg Colour - Landscapes - Cranborne Chase, Dorset, England In all my years of landscape photography, I have never been so fortunate to have enjoyed such special, pre-dawn company. Looking across to the invisible border between Wiltshire and Dorset, I was joined by five hares (always a privilege), numerous rabbits, a few unconcerned strutting pheasants, a fox and, in a shadowed hollow, a doe eating in early-morning safety. The chalky doormat slabs were laid out for me just so, and even if I had not been successful, to my mind, I would have returned enriched and wholly rewarded. 23.5 × 14 in Edition of 50 Ref: 200100 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1743190888664-KX8I6RWDR41IRTKA6YVO/MERE+DOWNS+Study+IV+60x40.jpg Colour - Landscapes - Mere Study IV, England I often encourage lovers of landscape photography to get out into the landscape when the forecast suggests changeable conditions. On this day, I think rain and sunshine took turns some twenty times. The atmospheric clarity after as little as 5 minutes of heavy rain, and with hardly any atmospheric contaminants in the air, the sharp directional light that followed was truly thrilling. It certainly suited a geometric landscape such as this one. Motto: Go out in the rain…..sometimes. 23.5 × 15.75 in Limited Edition of 25 Ref: 200102 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1741712063289-VGUXUW5HPAY8CTCFQ8VK/Inle-Lake-II.jpg Colour - Landscapes - Inle Lake II, Myanmar A classical ballet position came to mind when I saw this tree. 15.75 × 15.75 in Edition of 50 Ref: 015033 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1741712180846-ZN6QP0K9LF4GH3OVPQH7/Shangri-La.jpg Colour - Landscapes - Shangri-La, Yunnan, China, 2007 The bleak weather was a blessing when this photograph was made. The light rain with associated mist helped to convey the solitary nature of the yellow hull against a vague, nondescript background. I particularly liked the aluminium look of the water, which the rain helped to diffuse away from a more perfect, too sharply defined reflection. From that day forth, I have yet to see another hull of a boat painted in such a wonderful mustard yellow. The shape of the metal-hulled boat was unfamiliar to Western eyes, and I was glad I achieved sufficient height to see the ribs on the far side. One foot lower, and the hull might have looked stuck on the water. Even the small stick seems to strike through the water at just the right place. The tree could occupy no other possible position on the canvas except to stand precisely in line with the stern of the boat, while the shadow it cast just nicked the top of other boat’s transom. Thus, with their shared isolation, there seemed to be an unspoken dialogue between the two. 23.5 × 15.75 in Edition of 50 Ref: 015003 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1742570501572-YRN5CAPGHLPNMR3MOUO2/Mount+Fuji+Study+3%2C+Japan+2000.jpg Colour - Landscapes - Mount Fuji Study 3, Japan, 2000 I learned from a local resident that I should be very grateful if I were to be granted the good fortune to see the top of Mount Fuji. On my arrival, I was very grateful indeed, and was especially thankful to find the only autumn reeds nearby.

For some time, there remained far too little cloud to repeat the white streaks in the rock, but an hour or so of waiting delivered just enough cloud to link sky with the land. 15.75 × 15.75 in Edition of 25 Ref: 010013 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1742159821234-KCY74PRG7ESF01Q154Z3/025008+Corfu+Greece+Final+Oct+16.jpg Colour - Landscapes - Corfu, Greece, 1994 Most people’s idea of Corfu would be of turquoise seas and azure skies.

After three failed attempts and wanting to make an image with the tree at the back of the image, one year, in mild desperation, I finally decided to employ a 'lavender spy.' A friendly receptionist in a hotel a few miles away offered to call me when he thought the lavender would be in full bloom. I received the call in mid-July and within 48 hours I was in mauve-washed Provence. If such a medal existed, I would have awarded the receptionist the Croix de Lavande. 15.75 × 15.75 in Open Edition Ref: 020026 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1742161511952-PUCSAOAP8GI5ZGARKM9T/South+Of+Granada%2C+Andalusia%2C+Spain_sm.jpg Colour - Landscapes - South of Granada, Andalucia, Spain, 2017 Surprisingly, what made this image appealing to me was the bottom of the fence curving away to the right and then leading on, up and up and up to tree and cloud. 15.75 × 15.75 in Edition of 50 Ref: 045041 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1742381353267-CQ25EAI19ECT79D8MWNK/Cappadocia%2C+Turkey.jpg Colour - Landscapes - Cappadocia, Turkey, 2008 It is completely possible to be charmed by a tree that blossoms. The purpose of blossom is fully known to the bee but its symbolism to humans who marvel at it is another thing. Perhaps my photograph of this crooked tree, with its bent trunk echoing the darker curve of the rock behind, is simply no more than to express my gratitude for its choice of place to grow and for its perfect April performance. 23.5 × 17.5 in Edition of 50 Ref: 055001 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1742381354488-ZA1U6B2YG6I12IM7L0A2/Val+d%27Orcia+IV%2C+Tuscany.jpg Colour - Landscapes - Val d'Orcia 3, Tuscany, Italy, 2006 I felt that I was being influenced by the great Chinese painters when I turned my 6 x 17cm panoramic camera to ‘skyscraper’ format. There were only four exposures available with 120 roll film. Much speed was needed as one minute later the mist had evaporated.

Their delicacy, height and swirling, circular motion in a prevailing wind appeals to me hugely. It seems all too easy just to gaze on them and drift into quiet contemplation. Every canal-side is fringed with these glorious reeds and, in winter, their subdued yellow tones have a glow. I had been unsure as to this reflection making sense to me and I could not produce an interpretation that felt anything other than topsy-turvy. Then as if on cue, the smallest gesture of the bicyclist arrived and righted the photograph to make sense of it all. 23.5 × 18.25 in Edition of 50 Ref: 021003 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1742381601406-WAQYHFK5DGKMI4LL2GUQ/Rovereto%2C+Italy.jpg Colour - Landscapes - Rovereto, Trentino, Italy, 1989 I had never expected to come across this remarkable scene and I found the entire experience very unsettling. When I departed, I was convinced that I saw a small figure in red crossing in front of the building.

I would prefer to believe the latter. 15.75 × 15.75 in Edition of 50 Ref: 030031 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1742381599409-P3S83LPTPMCMDWO3VFKX/MANDALAY+FINAL.jpg Colour - Landscapes - Mandalay I, Myanmar The lady of the house, more of a hut perhaps, took great pride in maintaining the clean appearance of her sandy threshold. I observed her sweeping motion and looked for the fleeting moment when her figure was separated from the forked prows of the boats with the triangular shape arising from her broom and skirt slotting comfortably into a narrow space between two of them. I was thankful that both she and her husband (fishing beyond) had chosen to wear red. 23.5 × 15.75 in Edition of 50 Ref: 015010 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1742382071740-DO2M188SF8JTOO91KQ04/Cader+Idris%2C+Gwynedd%2C+West+Wales.jpg Colour - Landscapes - Cader Idris, West Wales I have always been attracted by the way in which streams choose their route to combine with rivers and thence onward to the sea. It is far from being a mysterious phenomenon with any child explaining the logic. But logical explanation can sometimes undermine a feeling of mystery. After I made this photograph, I learned of a mythical giant who is supposed to have used the mountain as an armchair to contemplate the stars. 15.75 × 15.75 in Edition of 50 Ref: 060800 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1742587775141-RYXX65NYFF0HNN0D0V6P/Andalucia+Blossom%2C+Spain.jpg Colour - Landscapes - Padul, Andalucia, Spain I have always had a passion for almond blossom, and I have known the Sierra Nevada for a few years, although I would never claim to know it as well as an Andalusian landscape photographer. The mountain ridge is often snow-covered and it offers a good ‘lid’ to the top of the photograph. I remember, with this particular line of blossom trees, that I had wanted them to have alignment with the Sierra Nevada. However, attempting to align a diagonal with a horizontal would be foolish. Nonetheless, I was happy that the start of the blossom line seemed parallel with the mountain and the far end also seemed to key in well with it. I would have preferred that the shadow of each tree had not been clipped by the frame. Regrettably though, there was another line of trees which were surprisingly not yet in flower. Even if they had been, I suspect that I would have still aimed for just one diagonal statement. No doubt 90 minutes earlier, the shadows from each of these enchanting almond trees would have been truncated enough to have their tips just falling within the edge of the frame. I was too late. 15.75 × 15.75 in Edition of 50 Ref: 200101 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1742585575783-OWXR44DVI45887P7I54M/Montagne+Sainte-Victoire.jpg Colour - Landscapes - Montagne Sainte-Victoire, France I have always had a fixation with small sheds. The summer had been dry, and autumn was uncharacteristically early; the viticulturist whose land lay along the lower slopes of Montagne Sainte-Victoire had long since harvested his crop, and the vines, with just a few ragged leaves, were stripped of grapes. But I had seen a shed! My humble shed arrived like falling in love. The dusting of orange light on its chunky stone was a gift, as was its dark doorway that provided a point of deep black, which to a certain extent images need somewhere - although they should not take up too much of the surface. There was a delightful, though perhaps tenuous, relationship between the mountain, the tiled roof and the rumpled soil. The corrugated clefts in Montagne Sainte-Victoire were perhaps not dense enough in their shadows, but with the pale limestone ridges reflecting into their neighbouring hollows, they acted well as a rudimentary ‘fill-in’. The final player was the cirrocumulus sky, each puff much more entertaining than a carpet of infinite blue. Twenty years later, I returned hoping to find my shed. The search was in vain, but I was reminded of the changes that would have taken place since Cézanne sat below these slopes, as he continued to paint this long whale of a mountain some thirty or so times. Perhaps the shed belonged not to me, but to Cézanne. 15.75 × 15.75 in Edition of 50 Ref: 020016 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1741712214162-IKWBQ51OG9232ICK9CAQ/Teba.jpg Colour - Landscapes - Teba, Egypt During the day, I had noticed the hotel gardener sweeping the bougainvillea petals from the swimming pool. The brittle petals had looked beautiful. At dawn, I took a plastic bag and scooped up petals from the ground and sprinkled them back onto the pool’s surface. Before sunrise and with a much-needed breeze to disturb the water’s surface, I made my photograph. Later, and with a chuckle, the gardener told me that he had been watching. 23.5 × 15.75 in Edition of 50 Ref: 010009 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1742320309172-GGHA790K64A1SZ44AKAB/Venice.jpg Colour - Landscapes - Gondola, Venice, Italy, 1989 I had seen this gondola tied up near the bridge a few times as I returned to my lodgings. It never seemed to be in quite the right place to establish an interlocking of shapes. I loaded black and white film into the film back, set up the camera and tripod and waited. With an echoing bellow from the bargee, a barge laden with the brilliant colours of tomatoes and oranges came swerving round the corner and passed my gondola, pushing its nose to position almost under the bridge with its passing. For one lovely luxurious minute I could wait until the elaborate and proud prow would quietly drift backwards and, at the given moment, when the bridge and prow quietly interlocked, I depressed the shutter. A second later, the relationship disintegrated and with a board grin on my face, I packed up to leave for the vivid green fields of England. 20 × 23.5 in Edition of 25 Ref: 030023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1742158788145-HMUAA6SQOGHD3E6A4MS4/Lucignano+d%27Asso%2C+Tuscany%2C+Italy.jpg Colour - Landscapes - Lucignano d'Asso, Tuscany, Italy I asked why the cypress trees had been planted directly in front of such a simple chapel and was told that the chapel was important and warranted the statement. 19.5 × 15.75 in Edition of 50 Ref: 030011 https://www.charliewaite.com/individual-tuition daily 0.75 2025-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/c6dc15ee-21e0-4297-8d55-538e4bb7a98b/1-2-1+IMG_7759.jpg Individual Tuition - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.charliewaite.com/privacy-notice-and-cookies daily 0.75 2025-03-15 https://www.charliewaite.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1741712181728-9A4NH3GLHVNOL3FXLA9F/Safi-Gate-Morocco.jpg Contact - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.charliewaite.com/colour-architecture daily 0.75 2025-05-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1747579136950-RYJS06K73RWS77SLR6TQ/GIBRALTAR+YELLOW+WALL.jpg Colour - Architecture - Balcony, Spain 23.5 × 15.75 in Edition of 25 Ref: 045039 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1747392000723-D6HX39S987P0D5KECLLX/A4_Cadiz%2C+Spain.jpg Colour - Architecture - Cadiz, Spain 23.5 × 14.25 in Edition of 15 Ref: 045033 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1741712148893-K8Q9MPB9P6VBOX0PXH5V/Rock-of-Gibralter.jpg Colour - Architecture - Towards the Rock of Gibraltar, Spain I am told that the rock of Gibraltar is one of most recognisable landmarks in the world. I first became acquainted with it when producing a book on Andalucia and have always wrestled with my inability to produce a photograph of it. With the airport and numerous nondescript buildings adjacent to it, I just could not manage it. Whenever I was nearby, I investigated countless different vantage points from the hills behind this huge tooth and from many beaches, yet could find no strong relationship between the rock and the land or sea below. I was looking for ‘jagged’. I often hope that I will hear what I like to call the ‘final signal’ indicating that the moment has come when all the component elements within a photograph have interlocked to ultimately produce a pleasing and cohesive whole. When the last few moments of direct sunlight briefly slammed onto the wall at the same moment that a lone figure pronounced by a wave beyond and holding a bright bag passed along the beach, I felt I had heard that signal, I felt I had found ‘jagged’. 23.5 × 15.75 in Edition of 25 Ref: 060250 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1742319353710-A9FWZRHR33TRH6PIA6WX/Skanes%2C+Tunisia.jpg Colour - Architecture - Skanes, Tunisia 23.5 × 17.5 in Edition of 10 Ref: 010026 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1741712055973-4IG84M7ZYMWDRMPKVEK6/East-of-Gibralter.jpg Colour - Architecture - East of Gibraltar, Spain 23.5 × 15.75 in Edition of 50 Ref: 045037 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1742161741591-9DSWSF17DJQ09UVK96IF/BOLONIA+FINAL_WS.jpg Colour - Architecture - Bolonia, Spain 15.75 × 15.75 in Edition of 50 Ref: 045038 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1741712190576-X4L7JYA3N8ZXBV0YZCVQ/Street-I.jpg Colour - Architecture - Street I, Morocco Thankfully the sun’s position created two slender shadows that provided a sufficient hint of depth to mitigate the possible flatness of this image and offered me the suggestion of a corner. 18 × 12 in Edition of 50 Ref: 010001 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1741712152900-4N1X0C4JKXNG6UDPQHB5/SAFI-GATE-II.jpg Colour - Architecture - Safi Gate Study 2, Morocco, 2015 23.5 × 15.75 in Edition of 25 Ref: 010035 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1741712213050-OBKFFSN5SAJ0ECSS84SK/Street-II-morocco.jpg Colour - Architecture - Street II, Morocco I was fascinated to see how the streak of high cloud in the top right was running parallel to the wall and then took a 45 degree incline to avoid bumping into the triangular roof of this humble dwelling. 18 × 12 in Edition of 50 Ref: 010002 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1741712738267-YNO3BKSMBGSAJTKFIIKG/MARAKESH+STAIRCASE+100cms+X+80cms+.jpg Colour - Architecture - Marrakesh, Morocco, 2014 Staircases have appealed to me for many years and the association must come from the one in my family home.

The simple arrangement of wildflowers contrasted so delightfully with the small altar which was lit by reflected light. I would like to have been here a few hundred years earlier. 23.5 × 15.75 in Edition of 50 Ref: 015031 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1741381931070-AV3I1J76530B21GVQFAA/Berber-Village.jpg Colour - Architecture - Berber Village, Morocco Thankfully, the large door was open to this restful place filling it with diffused light from a reflective white wall outside. I always enjoy reflected light. The two makeshift beds provided something similar to proscenium arches, introducing the basket, which thankfully had been discarded in the position it needed to be. 15.75 × 15.75 in Edition of 50 Ref: 010039 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1742382570463-IAQFL095SM2AA3QDSPTZ/PAGE+39+030024+Palazzo+Giovanelli+Tuscany+Italy+copy+2.jpg Colour - Architecture - Palazzo Giovanelli, Venice, Italy 15.75 × 15.75 in Edition of 50 Ref: 030024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1742319673123-T36H330FQ3VUNCP3KW5E/Buonconvento%2C+Italy.jpg Colour - Architecture - Buonconvento, Italy In some specific scenes in a few memorable movies, the splash of red has been used as a device to arrest the viewer and drive their attention to the precise place the director wishes it to reach. I have to assume that those scenes in ‘Don’t Look Now’ and ‘Saving Private Ryan’ have remained in my subconscious, only to re-emerge as a makeshift curtain draped over a window in a small, side-street café in Buonconvento. 23.5 × 15.75 in Edition of 25 Ref: 030255 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1742319653046-DF2BADNFAY079JIU5J2Q/Charlie_Waite_Lucca_Tuscany_Italy.jpg Colour - Architecture - Lucca, Tuscany, Italy There can be frustrations associated with much landscape photography and these normally involve the three variables of light, sky and wind. I had positioned myself so that the shadows from the arches appeared like marching piano keys toward the top of the apparent slope at the far end of the cloister. Little did I know that a small boy (the fourth and unexpected variable) would be taunting me by darting into my image each time the sun emerged. Finally, his mother yanked him away and the image was made. 15.75 × 15.75 in Edition of 50 Ref: 030010 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1742382009066-GSD8O0T2EJ1EUL3NO7UM/Cabo%2C+Polonio%2C+Uruguay.jpg Colour - Architecture - Cabo, Polonio, Uruguay It seemed to me that the Cylindrical well to the left of the house had as great a role to play as the receding clouds. 19 × 15.75 in Edition of 25 Ref: 075001 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1742161153817-ORYZP2SF9MSE05X6SMBU/Caratacca+Andalucia+Spain.jpg Colour - Architecture - Caratracca, Andalucia, Spain I have immense affection for natural landscapes, but once or twice, I am arrested by a rather comic little incidental scene such as this one that I found irresistible. The relationship between the green door and the lilac wall with the brown perimeter line around it seemed simply amusing. Even the step at the bottom of the door was chosen to be painted in yet another colour. It was all completely fascinating to me because quite clearly the owner of the building had a rather interesting sense of colour and clearly for him, the peculiar relationships between those colours worked well, as they did for me. As I was setting up to make my photograph, the owner arrived with the wheelbarrow, and he simply placed it precisely in the position we see it in and then with a smile as if to say ‘I think you will need this’ he walked away and disappeared into his windowless house. The entire 'stage set' seemed to lend itself to being put into a square frame. I felt very at home here. 15.75 × 15.75 in Edition of 25 Ref: 045015 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/1742382649231-8MYSJHERMIXVS9L9IEPE/010005+Safi+Morocco.jpg Colour - Architecture - Safi III, Morocco 23.5 × 15.75 in Edition of 25 Ref: 010004 https://www.charliewaite.com/purchase-downloads daily 0.75 2026-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/0aeb0697-89b1-41e1-8411-39ec8d55d762/Libya+Monograph+Cover.jpg Downloads - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/146004a0-beb5-4c3c-8d13-8ce89ac8394d/Travelling+Light+cover+2025+cropped+square.jpg Downloads - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.charliewaite.com/prints daily 0.75 2026-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/f425d6ac-c8d7-491a-8e1b-5a3bdff5693c/IMG_4829.jpg Buy Prints - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.charliewaite.com/book-tuition-with-charlie daily 0.75 2025-07-15 https://www.charliewaite.com/book-tuition-with-charlie/online-portfolio-review monthly 0.5 2025-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/049da0c3-01fc-4d93-8230-f1ea264f88f2/Online+Portfolio+Review.jpg Book Tuition with Charlie - Online Portfolio Review https://www.charliewaite.com/book-tuition-with-charlie/122-workshop-2-days monthly 0.5 2025-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/3b9ef5fb-2323-4e22-9323-24befd9082ce/122+2-day.jpg Book Tuition with Charlie - One to Two Workshop - 2 days https://www.charliewaite.com/book-tuition-with-charlie/121-workshop-2-days monthly 0.5 2025-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/5314e8dd-41f7-4876-94a2-4380ea708518/121+2-day+workshop.jpg Book Tuition with Charlie - One to One Workshop - 2 days https://www.charliewaite.com/book-tuition-with-charlie/122-workshop-1-day monthly 0.5 2025-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/441e5715-ec1b-48c4-8a9c-d6041455576f/122+1-day.jpg Book Tuition with Charlie - One to Two Workshop - 1 day https://www.charliewaite.com/book-tuition-with-charlie/121-workshop-1-day monthly 0.5 2025-03-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/be8acfee-2324-4fb5-8648-ce95ad7501be/121+1-day.jpg Book Tuition with Charlie - One to One Workshop - 1 day https://www.charliewaite.com/books daily 0.75 2025-07-15 https://www.charliewaite.com/books/hidden-works-catalogue monthly 0.5 2025-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c8a0f5cca6080920253318/7f2051e9-371c-48be-8eae-394024ecbd4e/Hidden+Works+Product.jpg Books - Hidden Works - Catalogue
