We’re very excited to announce Joe Cornish and Tim Parkin as this year’s keynote and guest speakers for Photocamp Bradford {2010}.
Joe Cornish is widely regarded as the best and most influential landscape photographer working in the UK today. An honorary fellow of the Royal Photography Society and landscape photographer of choice for the National Trust, he specialiases in the romantic tradition of photography that has it’s roots in the classic painters such as Turner and Constable and with photographic proponents such as Ansel Adams.

Although classically trained as an artist, Joe has found his own vision of the land albeit inspired by colour photographers such as Peter Dombrovskis of Tasmania and David Muench of the US; a vision that is visceral whilst retaining depth, photographs that engage on multiple levels.
His most recent book, Scotland’s Mountains, is a more personal work which allowed him to spend time in his favourite locations and create works without commercial pressure. The results are a fascinating and original view of Britains wildest places.
Tim Parkin on the otherhand is a relative newcomer to landscape photography, having only picked up a camera in the last four years. An engineer by trade, his love of the landscape and passion for disseminating that passion through his wideley read blog, has created a well documented journey through digital and film.
Joe and Tim are working together to launch a new landscape photography magazine, Great British Landscapes, to coincide with Photocamp, an online resource aimed at the British landscape photographer who values the picture more than the technology. Their keynote will investigate their own journeys and discuss the state of landscape photography in 2010.
