Location:
Essaouira,
Marrakesh-Safi,
Morocco. Technical info: Canon EOS 5D Mark IV with Canon EF16-35mm f/2.8L III USM fittedwith a Lee Filters Landscape polariser. Exposure of 1/1250sec at f/6.3 and ISO 400. About the image: While on a recce in 2017 for our 2018 Morocco tour, I spotted this wonderful mural on the harbour wall at Essaouira. The bustling port was busy with the fishermen unloading the day’s catch and the seagulls were enjoying the scraps. By positioning myself low down, I was able to avoid the top of the wall being in frame and then had to wait for a bird to pass into the

crucial part of the frame. I had to wait quite a while for this cooperative gull and became quite a source of curiosity for passers-by, wondering why I was taking so long to photograph a mural.
Location: Eype Beach, Jurassic Coast, Dorset. Technical info: Canon EOS 6Dwith Canon 100mm f/2.8LMacro. Exposure of 1/8sec at f/16 and ISO 100. About the image: The image is part of a series referencing millions of years of shifting geology on the Jurassic Coast in Dorset. This area is an ever-changing landscape offering many image-making possibilities. I’m proud to show visiting photographers and students this
internationally acclaimed area of the UK for Light & Land. From the wide vista to the intimate inner landscapes, all of which change from moment to moment, the Jurassic Coast encourages the artist to create their own aesthetic narrative. My ‘Mesozoic’ series uses photography to highlight the fluidity of the landscape, crafted and shaped by the elements over millions of years, and its journey from mass extinctions to shallow tropical seas and beyond.

Location: An aerial view of fog in the valley beneath a crater in the Icelandic volcano Hekla, June 2015. Technical info: Phase One IQ180 and DF+ Camera, Schneider Kreuznach 40-80mm lens at 80mm. Exposure of 1/3000sec at f/8 and ISO 100. About the image: Flying over the country of Iceland is an absolutely incredible experience. Viewing braided rivers and some of the world’s most interesting geology from above always produces new images and nearly always something unexpected. This was the unexpected view: a crater completely covered in snow after a late winter in the mountains of Iceland. The fog in the background was the finishing touch to this small, electric-blue, water-filled crater and snow- covered vista.
