We all know 2020 has been a difficult and simply weird year! We have all had to adapt and change our ways of communicating and connecting. Since the Summer I’ve been running a weekly LiveStream session on the Light & Land Facebook page. The team at L&L wanted to reach out and connect with their audience in a ‘new normal’ way and I put my hand up to host the sessions and take the viewers on ‘virtual tours’ around the world with various co-leaders.

We started out with Joe Cornish and Charlie Waite in week 1 & 2 and have since gone on to explore locations and images from the Lake District, Jordan, New York, Stockholm, Slovenia, Italy, Romania and many more. As well as the ‘virtual tours’ we’ve also been doing some creative editing session with myself and Adrian Beasley. And, I also run a monthly ‘Pixel to Print’ session where I discuss the creation of an image from location all the way through to a final live print!

‘Inner Landscapes’ - Shooting Local & Lockdown Projects LiveStream

LAST WEEK: Margaret Soraya (in the 1st half) and I (in the 2nd half) discussed shooting locally (very useful in a Lockdown!) and also a couple of projects we embarked on during the first Lockdown here in the UK. Our work is quite different and so is our approach in some ways, BUT in many other ways it’s very similar as we seek to make engaging and meaningful work.

If you fancy joining in live you can find the sessions on the Light & Land Facebook page and we’re also now streaming at 1080HD to YouTube for the best image quality.

NEXT WEEK: On Tuesday 17th November (8pm UK) I welcome Charlie Waite to the next LiveStream. He’ll be discussing some images from his archives and chatting about the importance of looking back, assessing your images and noting how you have changed your visual approach. Join us live via Facebook, or via the this YouTube post to ask questions and interact with myself and Charlie.
