There are many brilliant landscape photographers out there and naming the best ones is a difficult task. However, there are five perspectives we could not overlook due to their richness and powerful combination of color and shape. They belong to:
1. Jeremy Turner
British by birth, Jeremy spent most of his life in Australia, studying in Sydney and exchanging several jobs in various fields, from painting and decorations to the retail industry and commercial photo-processing.
The sensibility his photos express can be explained by his undying interest for classical piano, long-distance cycling and outdoors.
2. Charlie Waite
Charlie Waite has already built a worldwide reputation for the serenity and calm his photographs inspire.
His name is featured in some of the most impressive exhibitions and galleries in the UK, Japan and USA, but also in the Amateur Photographer Magazine and the Royal West of England Academy Art Magazine.
As an acknowledgement of his work, Charlie Waite received the Power of Photography Award and honorary fellowship within the British Institute of Professional Photographers.
3. David Fleet
David Fleet’s love for the Isle of Harris and the Outer Hebrides of Scotland transpires in the breathtaking landscapes of the rugged and touchy beauty characteristic to the Scottish islands.
One of the most exciting and restless young landscape photographers, David is always on the look for beauty and his striking photographs gained him national recognition as well as positive critics in specialty magazines and newspapers.
Part of David’s landscape photographs are exhibited at Hebrides Art, Seilebost.
4. Joe Cornish
His work culminated with the foundation of Northallerton Gallery and Joe’s Cornish permanent exhibition and print archive, but it was also marked by his books, such as First Light (A Landscape Photographer’s Art), A Photographer’s Journey and Joe Cornish (A Photographer at Work), and by the collaboration with famous artists like David Ward, Eddie Ephraums and Charlie Waite.
The actual recognition of the artist’s value came in 2006, with the Amateur Photographer’s annual award named Power of Photography and with the honorary fellowship within the Royal Photographic Society offered to him in 2008.
5. Mark Gray
Winner of several international awards and with a worldwide reputation preceding him, Mark Gray has the merit of having learnt the secrets of photography by himself.
Most of his landscape photography is centered on the Australian land and the thing that impressed his critics the most was the fact that all of his works were done with natural light, without adding or editing colors later.
Patience, sensitivity, love for nature and beauty are just a few of the qualities that distinguish this landscape photographer from other artists in his category.
Someone said that “…the world we live in is beautiful and every little part of it has a magic of its own that only the gifted can notice and show to the world”.
If that is true, these five landscape photographers are definitely gifted, because their work reflects a beauty that seems ripped from another world.
