Joe is author of the best-selling and influential book, First Light, a Landscape Photographer’s Art. A renowned thinker on photography, he has led workshops, given talks, and written magazine articles for the British photo press for over two decades. He is an Hon Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society, and serves regularly on the RPS distinctions assessment panels. In 2010 he was named among the Outdoor Photography magazine’s group of the world’s 40 most influential nature photographers.

Drawing on over three decades experience as a working photographer, writer, presenter and workshop leader Joe’s talk will focus on his passion for photography, and for landscape, and our relationship with it. It also explores the wider purpose of photography in the world today, in the light of the digital revolution, and asks the audience to consider their own view of where photography belongs.
