FIRST LIGHT | Melanie King
First Light: 1. the time when light first appears in the morning; dawn. 2. the first use of a telescope to take an astronomical image after it has been constructed. 3. In physical cosmology, first light refers to the light emitted from the first generation of...
MAMETZ WOOD | Rob Hudson
“And so to midnight...” Welcome to Mametz Wood. This isn't the actual wood. Nor is it July 1916, the date of the First World War battle of that name that claimed thousands of lives in a futile fight for just one square mile of woodland in northern...
SURFACE INTERVENTION | Mandy Williams
My recent landscapes and photographs of the built environment share an underlying narrative about human interaction or presence and the psychology of a particular place will always lead me to research and initiate a project. The beauty of a landscape isn’t something...
SEAWORKS | Paul Kenny
"Seaworks" is a term I use to define an ongoing body of work made on or about shorelines. The work, building on themes developed over 45 years, seeks to find the awe inspiring in that which is easily passed by and by looking at the micro, how we might gain...
ALONE | Mike Colechin
Over the last few years my photographic practice has become part of the way I make sense of life - an important creative outlet, which has also become a way of exploring the emotional connections I make with the world around me. As a fairly cerebral character I...
ULTERIOR SHIFT | Stephen Segasby
Landscape, a space we enter and a place we leave. Regardless of original intent the landscape has a changing effect upon us. This may be a learned response to aesthetic beauty or alternatively ugliness, but it is often much more, something...
CONVERGENCE | Valda Bailey
My first visit to Dubai was almost 25 years ago and came about as a consequence of an ill-considered trip to the Maldives. It very quickly became apparent that neither myself, nor my then future husband were the type of people who could happily roost on an island...
THRESHOLD | Alastair Cook
I am not a landscape photographer. I suppose if there’s anything photographic I can do competently it’s take photographs of people - I like a mug shot, me. It’s a real honour to be asked by ITO to show you something, but I have no landscape series, no...
GAP IN THE HEDGE | Dan Wood
Bwlch-y-Clawdd Loosely based around nostalgia, ‘Gap in the Hedge’ reflects on a journey I used to make with my mother to the Rhondda Valley every saturday when I was a child, to visit family relatives. My daughter and I now regularly make this same...
WARPED TOPOGRAPHIES | Richard Earney
Embarking on a project often results from a belated realisation that the work you've been producing has something about it; that links, that has coherence. It is rare that it occurs for me with images more than a few weeks or months old. It was even more unlikely that...
WHITE WHALE | Robert Darch
The White Whale is a series of colour photographs taken in the south west of England. The title of the series takes its inspiration from the novel Moby Dick by Herman Melville, a tale of one man’s obsessive quest to hunt a mythical white whale. In the novel,...
JOE | by Chris Friel
INTRODUCTION When we first formed the Inside the Outside collective we had a clear vision of the type of photographic work we as a group were ourselves driven to create and the work of others we wanted to share. Paraphrasing from our collective’s statement...
