Joe Cornish
A working photographer since 1980, Joe Cornish is based in North Yorkshire and has devoted the last thirty years to landscape photography, especially in the north of England and Scotland. His work includes large scale commissions and publishing projects, and he has led countless workshops, tours, seminars and one-to-ones, as well as giving talks and writing.
His landscape photography seeks a sense of connection with the natural world through an exploration of texture, colour, space, form and light. He has specialised in high resolution equipment due to the immersive quality that comes from an abundance of fine detail. Joe is an avid thinker on the role of photography with a strong interest in the global environment, and he has written countless articles, many appearing in On Landscape, which he helped co-found. Joe is an honorary Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society, and was the first Chair of the Landscape Distinctions panel. Recent books include: Scotland’s Mountains; Scotland’s Coast; The Northumberland Coast; This Land; Capability Brown; Humphry Repton; Woodland Sanctuary (with Simon Baxter); Still Time to Wonder (on Fountains Abbey).
Oliver Wright
Oliver has been a Yorkshire professional photographer since 2014 after a career in project management. He has always had a keen interest in nature and wildlife. During the autumn and winter he has been guiding clients to view and photograph aurora, arctic landscapes and wildlife in Abisko, Northern Sweden. Then in the summer Oliver focuses on his own projects especially wildlife and macro photography and also guiding workshops both in the UK and abroad. Oliver has worked closely with Canon since 2015 talking at some of the major events such as Bird Fair and the Photography Show.
