Woodland Photography Exhibition Walkthrough with Joe Cornish

[@TLM823]

This is like going to a paid advanced webinar tutorial where you can learn how to feel, see, hear, and, perhaps most importantly, interpret your surroundings! Thank you for taking the time to produce this video broadcast on your dime... it's so appreciated and helpful.

[@RewDowns]

4:30 - this photo is incredible! It has perfect imperfections that give it a special mood and feel.

[@WalkForFreedomOz]

That first image of Jo's, first thought was it's just another photo of a tree, then the more I looked at it the more I liked it. The way Jo framed the image was fantastic. Great credit to the two of you. 👍

[@Jazztpt]

Visited today, beautiful,stunning,outstanding and inspiring, without doubt the best exhibition I have attended of any genre.

[@timscanlanphotography]

The best 26 minutes 34 seconds I've spent all day Simon. Absorbing. Thank you for sharing.

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Thank you very much, Tim :-)

[@sajjadal-lawati3133]

delighted to watch two icons of landscape photography and listen to your commentary... wonderful and inspiring stuff....Thanks both of you

[@jamesattenborough2597]

What a wonderful exhibition. I'd fully recommend it to anyone. Both books are brilliant too

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Thank you very much, James!!

[@Jeff-jg7jh]

Wow, very enjoyable to get a little fire lit under us about those photos. I fouond a shot of a dead tree that looked like a frozen 30' tall monster marching through the woods. One of my best pictures. There was a fire and that tree no longer exists. I'm so glad I got the shot. Thinking back on it, I should have taken the camera club there. Those guys were pro's and I sure wasn't but I should have. I know they would have enjoyed it. I guess the lesson here is, believe in yourself.

[@johnpunnett1426]

Guys would of so liked to have seen this exhibition. Seriously, you need to arrange a repeat down South somewhere... Am sure it would be a massive success.....! top quality...

[@ChristineWilsonPhotography]

That tree ( afraid of time) overshadowed by the pines is astronomical , just love it , I have an affinity with the dark matter section 😀 the whole exhibition was just fantastic

[@howardrankin7119]

Wonderful images and fascinating insights

[@jean-guyhuot7869]

A very inspiring video, with splendid images

[@timshields8720]

To me it seems to be an exhibition/project regarding LIGHT AND ATMOSPHERE within the woodland. 👍 Great images captured perfectly when the light was magical.

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Thank you, Tim! Yes, there's a lot of atmosphere but we have 9 themes and some contain images which are much less about light and atmosphere :)

[@HGphotography]

woodland photography from both is outstanding, trees and water is life, too keep us alive. Impressive Simon & Joe

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Thank you so much, Henk!

[@davidrouchet1970]

A very beautiful exhibition well presented through the video. I wish I could visit it in person!

Pure joy!

Thanks to you Simon and to Joe , a really great gift , Book already ordered

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Thank you very much, Enrico! Already dispatched and will hopefully be with you soon.

[@alancoligado8540]

Two wonderfully articulate artists in conversation...thank you for letting us "dissolve in the light" of your insights.

[@georgemason2472]

Wonderful discussion. Really loved Joe's first shot., "Let's Twist Again" Neat form.

[@lornabuckle3628]

Trees always meant so much to me, haven't your amazing photographic expertise but you have captured inspirational scenes to carry in our mind. Thankyou Simon and Joe.

[@peterjpalmer3689]

Hi Simon, Good to see you back again. You and Joe are an inspiration to all of us. I have followed both you and Joe over the last few years and I am always amazed by the quality of the images that both of you produce.Keep up the good work.

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Thank you very much, Peter! Much appreciated :)

[@ralphbennett5207]

Enjoyed this Thank you. Quite intrigued by the unusual frames used.

[@DuskoR777]

U are the poet among landscape photographers! Love ur work, and I find it so inspirational!

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Thank you so much, Radni!

[@DuskoR777]

I really think so, I just love your outlook on nature and work, and u inspired me to start printing. May I ask what material did u guys use for the backgroud of photos? I want to frame some of my work but they are big formats and frames are to expensive, and also some of the aspect ratios that I end up using are almoust imposible to fit into non custom frames. Thank you for replying and keep it going man, it is a holiday for half an hour when u put out your video, and I just love your images!

[@geoffstairmand3747]

Can I first thank both you Simon and Joe for a brilliant exhibition that I attended some weeks ago - your images and discussion on the day and in this video are inspirational.

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Thank you again, Geoff. Much appreciated :-)

[@gingerspoons6078]

😀✌️👍🙏🙏 Ps so very nice to see Photographers printing cutting and mounting their own work … fabulous again Thank You both

[@jamesmonte3165]

Excellent video and outstanding images Simon and Joe

[@davidhuth5659]

INCREDIBLE IMAGES!! I have always disliked anthropomorphism in art, especially as it relates to animals. When it comes to the work you and Joe are creating I am completely convinced that this is a good thing. It increases our empathy for the woodlands and helps us to care more about the preservation of these sacred spaces. Thanks and keep up the great work!

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

That's great to hear, David. I know where you are coming from and perhaps my own view on the subject will change with time. For now, I continue to embrace it :-)

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

I’ve been looking forward to setting some time aside to watch this. After being on holiday for two weeks in Europe, coming home this was the perfect inspiration and insight into one of the best exhibitions I’ve seen. I love woodland photography, thank you Simon and Joe 🙏.

[@simonbriggsQCB]

Hope you have a fantastic time at the gallery. Thoroughly enjoyed this episode, as the enthusiasm from you both just leaks out from the TV and envelopes me whilst listening to the detail of how each image is captured and what the overall mood and story they tell.

[@boristahmasian9604]

Simon and Joe, these images are breathtaking. You two are so lucky to live near the woodlands that offer the opportunity to experience these scenes and to create these images. I am inspired beyond words.

[@HRRGA]

Very inspiring conversation! These videos are the next best thing to watch if you can't make it to see the exhibition at the venue. I hope there are some more videos to come!

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Thank you very much, Holger. Always appreciated :-)

[@davidstevenson1950]

Beautiful images from both of you. I hope the exhibition does well for you.

Wonderful video. Incredible images. Thank you both. 😍😍😍😍

[@andrespuiggros]

A trully inspiring video, great work. Congratulations to both of you!!

[@josephcampisi5401]

Wonderful and inspiring work by you two. Bravo.

[@Mrbluesplayer43]

So glad you posted this, and many congratulations and thanks to you and Joe on such an absolutely superb exhibition. You both have obviously spent some considerable time, effort, and presumably cost, putting this exhibition together, but I have to say it's one of the best photography exhibitions I've ever had the pleasure of attending. Having not visited your KZbin channel for weeks, I very nearly didn't get to hear about it, and only a chance pop-up on FB alerted me to the fact. By coincidence I had to spend a night in Nunthorpe last week, en-route in taking an elderly relative to Manchester airport the next day, so decided to visit on the way up from Rotherham. Not only did it made my day, but I got reacquainted with the beautiful North York Moors which I hadn't visited for many years and which has now left me wanting to see much more. The photography throughout is superb, and it's a truly fabulous collection of images on show. I was blown away with the quality of the prints too, and I'd love to know more how you did this and what paper you used (another video perhaps?). I've generally avoided matt papers as they just seem to suck the life out of images, but your's and Joe's prints looked incredibly vibrant, colourful and so detailed; the best matt prints I've ever seen. Also, what a great book too, it's got to be the best value and best quality photography book out there at the moment, and for any other photographers reading this, grab yourself at a copy whilst you can, at £20 its a no-brainer. I also got to see your book too, Simon, and am the now the proud owner of a copy. It's stunning.

[@holyhoff8521]

This is really beautiful and inspiring. Thank you both

[@andreak4280]

holy wow those images are stunning!!! 🙌🏼 🌟🌟🌟 🫶🏼

[@fafnorcal]

Absolutely top notch - as expected. Glad to hear that you both have received well deserved recognition of your work and this show. The production value of the video, too, is excellent.

[@anattacartier2815]

That really was superb! Absolutely stunning photography! Any chance we can have more videos of the exhibition please?

[@matthanson4810]

Honestly one of the best videos I've seen in years. Thank you!

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Thank you very much, Matt 😊

[@patsfocus]

Inspiring 👏👏

[@geoffkell7732]

Thank you Simon & Joe! A very insightful & engaging walk-round of some of the prints. Wonderful to get a behind-the-scenes look. Would be great to have a follow up with some of the other areas. Thanks again.

[@tauernphotos]

What a wonderful exhibition and what a wonderful way from both of you showing us a bit more about this. Would love to see more in that way of course!! Thank you for providing the opportunity to take part in your exhibition without having to undertake the long journey to the UK. For sure this is not the same as seeing your prints in an exhibition but it’s the next best thing! All the best from Austria 🙋🏼‍♂️

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Thank you very much, Daniel. Glad you enjoyed it and would like to see more :)

[@andykeeble1]

Loved every minute, well done Simon and Joe! Just ordered your book too so super excited.

I could watch you guys wax lyrical about your amazing images all day, wonderful stuff! Inspiring and insightful! Was a pleasure to meet you both a few weeks back!

[@ytuberization]

This is an unbelievable set of fantastic photos! Thank you so much for sharing some more details also for people not living in this area. Would be great to hear more about the frames and paper you have used for the exhibition in a future video.

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Thank you very for your kind comment and request!

[@michaelholland265]

Purchased your book and keep on looking through it- strongly recommend. Loved the video discussions. So inspiring

[@simonmiles1972]

Wonderful. I wish you every success with the exhibition. For now I will be contenting myself with the book, but any of these images would make an incredible print.

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Thank you very much, Simon!

nice prints Simon.

Nice working!

[@narelle4868]

It's terrific to have both of you share some of your creative insight. I found this very enjoyable and informative. More please. My sister has borrowed my copy of your book Simon. Hope I get it back. Looking forward to receiving the exhibition book; next best thing when I can't get to your exhibition. Congratulations to both of you.

[@paulcollingridge8387]

In my opinion, the very best way to look at a photo is when printed to a good size, on a wall, in an environment that says "hi, would you like to linger awhile, that's OK"

[@billpanuska5775]

Your work has always been exhilarating and thought provoking. Beyond that, what truly evoked an emotional response was listening to two eloquent thinkers articulate their vision. It is thrilling to hear language that precisely conveys the mental elements which assemble and produce extraordinary images. Thank you both for that.

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

That's very kind of you to say, Bill. Joe is more eloquent and articulate than me, but simply trying to articulate your feelings in photography is good fun 😊

[@joecornish1200]

@@SimonBaxterPhotography Sorry Simon, that's simply not true! You can hold your own with anyone when it comes to communicating your ideas and feelings regarding photography. No more to say!

[@keithmagee4450]

I love this follow up to you and Jo Cornish exhibition, which I was lucky enough to attend the talk from you both. I am enjoying both the Woodland Sanctuary and your own Gathering Time books which I highly recommend. Also visit the exhibition if you can, as seeing the large prints is amazing I would love to see a detailed video on your framing techniques, which was touched on at the beginning of the video. Are the frames made for you, or did you make them yourselves?

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Thanks again, Keith! I'll look to mention the framing presentation in a subsequent video :)

[@wimscheenen3535]

I really like to hear both your thoughts on some of each other’s images, quite insightful and I for one would love to see such videos for all your curated themes. And looking at the beautifully crafted video I find it once again such a pity I got stranded in Scarborough hospital and not being able to continue my holiday to visit Danby and your exhibition. But, your exhibition book is on its way so I can have a feeling of your gorgeous work!

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Thank you very much, Wim. I'm pleased you enjoyed it and I hope you're feeling 100% now!

[@wimscheenen3535]

Many thanks for your kind words, Christian :)

[@jenspiers1085]

Thank you both for recording this!! It was a difficult decision when I chose not to get a ticket for one of your opening tours, because I knew it would be a special and informative experience! However, I really wanted the luxury of being able to spend unlimited time with the photographs and without the distractions of the presence of others. So, I chose to make the journey over on a midweek, sunny day, and immerse myself with an almost private viewing 😬 So glad to have had a little taster of what I missed out on, through this video. Thank you again 🙏🏼

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Many thanks, Jen. Yes, it's quite difficult to soak it in when it's busy, but I bet it was hot in the gallery when you visited ;-).

[@jenspiers1085]

@@SimonBaxterPhotography It was baking, but rather lovely sitting in the Sanctuary 😍😊

[@jdonica]

Simply wonderful. Words, honestly, are inadequate. In addition to the photographs, I am curious and interested in the wood framing of the photos. Gorgeous. Can you tell me about it? Is it available commercially? Thanks for your help.

[@joecheng7491]

Very Nice

[@berniewhitebrown]

Simon Im so delighted that you made this video for those of us who can't travel and hopefully more like this to come. Im so glad it has been such a success for you both. Just like your book everything about the presentation in the gallery is so perfect. So impressive. All your hard work has paid off. Its such a special body of work and was wondering if you may have any plans to tour it. As someone else mentioned some more info on the presentation of the pictures would be interesting. Best of luck with the rest of the events.

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Thank you very much, Bernie! No plans to tour as yet but never say never :-) Yes, info about the framing will be coming :-)

@@SimonBaxterPhotography Look forward to the next video.

[@tonygaskins565]

I enjoyed this,. I was struck by how my interpretation of the prints shown echoed your's and Joe's. I was hoping to see the exhibition but I won't be able to while I care for my wife during chemotherapy which ends just after your exhibition closes. I've enjoyed Gathering Time so much since getting my copy in May and would have loved to the prints in the flesh so to speak.

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Thank you very much, Tony. Very best wishes to your wife.

[@mark_a_schneider]

Beautiful exhibit and very informing and inspiring video. Quick technical question about the exhibit: Are the prints displayed without glass in the frames? It looks like it in the video. If so, it’s a great and unique look, but I’m curious if the framed prints were given a coating / laminate of any sort to protect them? Thank you.

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Many thanks, Mark! This was mentioned in the video but I had to cut it out of this episode. I'll include some info in a future episode :)

[@blivieriphoto]

Incredible!! Actually wondering if I could hop a plane across the pond to see it personally lol. Until then, your lovely video will have to do. ☺️

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Hehe, thank you very much 😊

[@philipculbertson55]

Wonderful look at an amazing exhibit. The images, the flow, the setting all matched so perfectly. Just stunning. I must admit, I'm fascinated by the frames. I tried to zoom in to try to see the corner joinery but just couldn't see how they were done. Did you guys come up with the design or is there a plan somewhere for them?

[@markbray3038]

[@KlausSchererPhotography]

Hello Simon my name is Klaus Scherer from Germany. I'm always impressed by your and Joe's work, but unfortunately I wasn't able to visit the exhibition. But one question: is there a source for the beautiful frames? Thanks in advance and have a nice weekend. 🙂

[@philippemagerus8752]

Hello Simon. I am interested at your book, but I am a bit concerned about import taxes to Belgium now that you are in a third country thanks to brexit. Last time I ordered a 45 $ item from the US, I had to pay 50 € charge (custom handling fee, import tax and vat combined). What's your experience with this ?

[@SimonBaxterPhotography]

Hi Philippe. It seems to be a bit hit and miss so I can't guarantee anything. I'd suggest contacting your local customs office for clarification on charges for a £20 item. I would hope it's minimal. Many thanks!

[@romiemiller7876]

I can't hear Joe's voice, and closed captions don't work.
