Landscape Photography World

Deeply shaped by Australia’s outback, Adam Edwards approaches landscape photography with patience, resilience, and intention. The harsh, unpredictable environment of the outback has influenced not only how Adam photographs, but how he teaches—working creatively with imperfect conditions and finding meaning in every frame.

Adam has committed himself fully to photography, spending years refining both his fieldcraft and post-processing to create images that feel authentic and personal. In 2025, he took a major step by opening a gallery in Broken Hill. More than a showcase for his work, the gallery serves as a creative hub—celebrating the region, fostering connection, and supporting a growing photographic community in the outback.

In this conversation, Adam reflects on moving from passionate hobbyist to full-time professional, sharing stories of photographing extreme weather, managing a gallery, and embracing the realities of a creative business. He speaks openly about the importance of mindfulness, intentional image-making, and developing a personal style that reflects lived experience rather than trends.

Teaching and mentoring now sit at the heart of Adam’s practice. Through workshops and one-on-one guidance, he prioritises real feedback, human connection, and community—values he believes are increasingly vital in an online-driven world. For Adam, photography is about far more than the finished image; it’s about process, place, and the people who shape the journey.

Jon Norris is a seasoned landscape photographer whose approach blends technical precision with thoughtful artistic intent. First picking up a camera at 14, Jon’s creative path has been shaped by his background as a former aerospace engineer, giving him a deep understanding of both the mechanics and the meaning behind an image.

Based in Southern California, Jon spends much of his time exploring and photographing places like Joshua Tree National Park. His philosophy centres on slowing down, learning to truly see, and building the confidence to create images that feel personal rather than camera-driven. For Jon, landscape photography is not about chasing icons, but about developing consistency, intention, and a visual voice that reflects the photographer behind the lens.

In this conversation, Jon discusses balancing a demanding corporate career in aviation with a long-term passion for photography, eventually reshaping his priorities around creativity and personal fulfilment. He shares insights into teaching workshops, navigating increasing restrictions in protected landscapes, and why he chose to step away from social media to reconnect with authentic creative practice.

Jon also explores his growing interest in medium format film, the value of setting personal photographic goals, and the responsibility photographers carry to protect the wild places that inspire their work. His perspective is grounded, reflective, and refreshingly honest.

Robin Dodd is an accomplished British landscape photographer whose work is deeply rooted in woodlands, rivers, and mountain landscapes. Based in the Chiltern Hills, just outside London, Robin is drawn to places of quiet complexity—believing the British countryside offers some of the most rewarding and expressive landscapes in the world. His photography balances structure and spontaneity, revealing calm and clarity within seemingly chaotic natural environments.

 

Entirely self-taught, Robin’s relationship with photography began at 14, developing film in his bedroom. A formative period living in Cold War Berlin shaped his visual philosophy, teaching him how creative freedom can exist even within physical and conceptual constraints. That mindset continues to inform his approach to composition and visual storytelling today.

 

Robin’s work has received significant national recognition, including winning UK Landscape Photographer of the Year 2021 (Your View) and British Wildlife Photography Awards 2024 (Black & White), alongside multiple shortlistings and touring exhibitions with Forestry England. His photographs are widely exhibited across the UK and featured in major publications.

 

In this conversation, Robin explores the emotional pull of the landscape, the role of weather, and the importance of slowing down to truly see composition. He also discusses printmaking, mentoring, woodland workshops, and his recently published eBook, Order in the Chaos. His insights reflect a thoughtful, grounded practice shaped by patience, curiosity, and deep connection to place.

Vivien Francis is a Bournemouth-based photographer and video producer whose work blends landscape photography, cinematography, and thoughtful visual storytelling. Originally from Holland, Vivian’s move to the UK reshaped her creative direction, inspiring a deep connection with England’s varied and often understated landscapes. For her, creativity is instinctive—something as essential as breathing—and this is reflected in her ability to find rhythm, emotion, and movement in both stills and motion work.

In this conversation, Vivien reflects on her journey from art school to developing a multidisciplinary practice rooted in observation and intention. She discusses how cinematography influences her photographic eye, helping her see landscapes not as static scenes but as living environments shaped by light, weather, and time. Her work balances delicacy with impact, guided by a strong sense of narrative and visual flow.

Vivien also shares thoughtful perspectives on creative integrity, collaboration, and the evolving role of AI within photography and video. She speaks candidly about problem-solving in the field, the emotional highs and lows of early starts and imperfect conditions, and the importance of community in sustaining a creative career. This episode offers insight into a practice built on curiosity, adaptability, and staying true to one’s vision.

Tasmanian wilderness photographer Cam Blake reflects on a lifetime shaped by the landscapes of Australia, beginning with childhood explorations in Northeast Victoria. Now an accredited and commercially licensed photographer, Cam is known for his deep connection to remote places and for capturing the raw, rugged character of Tasmania’s wild environments. His imagery has appeared in major publications including Australian Geographic, Olympus UK/US, and WILD Outdoor Magazine, showcasing both his technical skill and his profound respect for nature.

Cam explains that he has always approached photography with a scientific curiosity rather than a purely artistic mindset, yet the emotional pull of the natural world remains at the heart of his work. Beyond creating images, he is dedicated to helping others grow as photographers. Through multi-day workshops across Tasmania and mainland Australia, he offers hands-on guidance, inspiring participants to develop their craft while immersing themselves in spectacular wilderness settings.

He speaks candidly about the realities of running a photography business, the importance of preserving memories through images, and the therapeutic value photography can offer in an increasingly fast-paced world. Cam also shares his thoughts on the future of the industry—its challenges, its rewards, and the enduring power of connecting people to wild places through visual storytelling.
