Joe Cornish - Practice, practicalities and perseverance.

Although he has his own gallery and has been exhibited widely, books are the heart of Joe Cornish's photographic output. First Light, a Landscape Photographers Art, is one of the best-loved landscape photography books of the modern era. He wrote and photographed Scotland's Coast, and the critically acclaimed Scotland's Mountains. He has had a DVD (With Landscape in Mind) and a book (Joe Cornish, a Photographer at Work) made about him.
A reluctant convert to digital imaging, Joe now works with many different digital systems including medium format and technical cameras. He co-leads workshops with David Ward, Antony Spencer and Mark Banks; as well as field work he specialises at in-depth critiquing on aesthetic and technical matters. He makes almost all the prints shown and sold at his Northallerton gallery, experience that is invaluable in the workshop environment. His written work appears frequently in online photography magazine, Onlandscape, (of which he is a co-founder) and he is an experienced public speaker who has hosted the Natural History Museum's Understanding Photography evenings since 2011.
Joe is part of the elite group, The world's 40 most influential Nature Photographers, listed by Outdoor Photography magazine in 2010, and he has appeared on television as a presenter and photographic expert. He has been a judge on Wildlife Photographer of the Year and is an honorary Fellow of the RPS and one of the RPS distinctions panel adjudicators.
In this lecture, Joe talks through some of his recent work thinking about practice, practicalities and perseverance.

To see and listen to Landscape Photographers like Joe is truly an honor to the craft of Landscape Photography. There's undoubtedly so much we can all learn from his works and advice. Fantastic video and I'm looking forward to seeing more.

We've got a few more from our 2014 conference to upload. There's also a few playlists with Joe doing some post processing as well. So do take a look at them :)

I am lucky that Joe's gallery is only 25 minutes away so it's good to pop in and browse. There is one photo that stands out to me.it's called Curling Kelp, somehow he comes alive at the coast!

Awesome video

I've seen this so many times, and I learn something new each time.

wonderful talk, but 90% cold wet and inhospitable scenes, It's a cold day in England, would love more warm climate photos! Why are all professional photographers only happy in a woolly hat and bad weather?

[@clivehutchby6204]

Interesting... but I've seen better landscape pictures, I'm afraid.

As has been said on many occasions, there is no accounting for taste.

In my opinion he is a very good landscape photographer. Of course his style may not appeal to every viewer. There are other pictures which are more eye catching. His photographs are not oversaturated nor HDRish, he also tends to shoot intimate landscapes instead of big vistas and rarely uses very wide lenses. All of this causes that those photographs may be overlooked when scrolling an instagram but will look good on the wall. Personally I much prefer to hang on my walls calm scenes and when I was choosing mine photograph to hang in the living room I’ve chosen woodland scene after rain instead of sunrise/sunset even though on the first glance dramatic light looks more impressive
