Cornwall - This glorious land that we all call home

With over 400 miles of Atlantic coastline, this glorious land that we all call home has it all. From picture postcard coves, to rugged granite cliffs, deep blue skies and crystal clear Atlantic waters. Our landscape is diverse and spectacular.

From a photography point of view, we have some of the best and purest light here. In the summer months, that light, our Cornish blue skies and the Atlantic colourful tones make it a dream to shoot. I might add, it doesn’t always look like this but we love it when it does. We get a lot of storms and we love them too.

Littered in and around our Cornish coastline are a collection of many picturesque coves which we like to call our own. Throughout the winter months, we love these places even more as the tourists have moved on and we get our lovely land back.

We’ve all heard the following many times before, “you’re so lucky to live here”. My response to that as always is, “it’s not about luck, it’s all about choice”. Life is all about the choices we make and our choice was to live and work in this lovely land that we call home.

Finally, into print....

Ive been shooting various print based media over the years on the digital front and have been happy with the  published results. Im given a brief, shoot it then submit the images to the magazine editors. Then it goes off to the design team and then between them they select the images that best suit the feature/brief requirements. All of which are always digital images which Im happy to provide. However, lately Ive been dropping a few medium format images into the mix to see if the guys pick up on their value. I don't mention Ive added film shots to the digital ones Ive submitted, I just like to see if they pick up on the quality of those images. It doesn't have to be megapixel quality, it really doesn't. Medium format images or 35mm images if they are well shot and composed can deliver.....

Finally its paid off. Admittedly its only one shot but its in the magazine. Result....
