2025-01-09 19:00 - 21:00
(As well as access to the live event, you will receive a link to the recording, which will be valid for 14 days)
After a life-changing injury, renowned Landscape Photographer and Thinker, shares his passion for wild places and the art of Photography.
Following a serious neck injury in October after falling on a mountain, Joe faced his mortality more directly than ever before. And he asked himself, ‘What has this life been for’?
‘Photographing landscape is not a job for me, it’s a way of thinking, being, living.
My greatest commitment is to wild places and wilderness wherever I can find them.
Why? Firstly, because I love these places more than any others. Secondly, because philosophically, I believe preserving and regenerating wildness is critical to the health of life, and humanity’s future on our wonder planet.’
In the live zoom talk, you’ll hear Joe exploring this philosophy further.
You’ll also learn the composition and lighting approaches he uses to bring the landscape to life. And discover the connections with the other Arts that influence his thinking and ideas.
He will also discuss the contradiction of the photographer who needs to travel, with the environmentalist who hopes to minimise their carbon footprint.
A professional photographer since 1980, Joe Cornish is based in North Yorkshire and has devoted the last 30 years to landscape photography.
He is an acclaimed thinker on the role of photography, especially in environmentalism, and has written countless articles for ‘On Landscape’ which he helped co-found.
An honorary Fellow of the RPS, he helped form (and was first Chair) of the Landscape Distinctions panel.
