Photo of the Month July 2016 – Lofoten Winter Wonderland

July 2, 2016 Posted in Arctic, Landscape Photographs, Lofoten, Photographs, Travel PhotographyLeave a comment

In March this year I led a new winter landscape workshop to the Lofoten Islands in Norway (Read the Trip Report) with long time good friend and fellow landscape photographer Martyn Lucas. If you are unfamiliar with Lofoten let me assure you that the landscapes of these northern islands of Norway are really quite something to behold. Precipitous and ominous peaks that rise straight out of the ocean loom over small fishing villages that comprise of small bright red houses lining the shorelines. With a dusting of fresh snow and arctic winter light the entire scene is akin to a fairy tail location and subsequently the photographic opportunities can be truly superb.

This particular photograph is in no-way unique (It has been shot countless times ) but it is for me ‘iconic’ and captures the splendid beauty of this fairy tale like location. I plan to return to Lofoten early 2018 and will have more to say about this trip at a future date. Lofoten-4779-Edit

The Wild Walk Feature Interview – Edge of the World

July 1, 2016 Posted in Media, News and Updates, PhotographsLeave a comment

Conservation website ‘The Wild Walk‘ has just posted a short interview I did with them about Polar Photography and Polar Conservation. Click HERE to read the interview. From the Wild Walk Website:

There is an immediate need to protect our bio-diversity from the mighty Himalayas to the backdoor of our homes. Only when this is protected, we can have access to clean water, healthy food and natural surroundings. Nature as always in its supreme command defines the quality of our life. We cannot be blaming or depending on the Governments all the time and it is up to us to roll up our sleeves and do our bit to give back to nature. This pre-supposes awareness amongst people about nature and the life that it supports.

The Wild Walk, firm on the belief that wildlife literacy is the only way to get others inspired and sustain the habitat, chalk out programmes and activities to spread awareness on the subject. We educate people across the country about the forest with the aim of transforming them into wildlife conservationists. We also give lectures on wildlife science, exchange mails with aspiring conservationists and wildlife novices, share our knowledge through our website, news blog and via our wildlife documentary movies.
