Ladakh Photo Workshop - 2 September 2014

Starting on the 2nd September 2014 I  will be running a 12 day photography workshop and tour in Ladakh - Indian Himalaya. 

This remote part of North India has one of the most unique and beautiful landscapes in the world, where Tibetan Buddhist culture flourishes. It offers distinctive opportunities for photographers interested in travel and landscape photography.

The workshop was designed with the photographer in mind and is for a beginner and those with some experience. It's a good mix of a cultural experience and seeing natural landscapes. It will begin at the basics of photography and how to use a DSLR camera.

The technical aspects of capturing great image will be covered along with how to develop your eye and make pictures your own. This is something Neil is very passionate about - developing your creative aspects of photography.

Come and share the adventure together in this visual journey and discover the unique landscape, light and culture of Ladakh through your own eyes.

100-year-old negatives have been discovered in Antarctic. They where in a small box of 22 exposed but unprocessed photographic negatives, frozen in a solid block of ice for nearly one hundred years. The Box was  one of the many supply depots Robert Falcon Scott established for his doomed Terre Nova Expedition to the South Pole (1910-1913).

The hut was used next by the Ross Sea Party of Sir Ernest Shackleton's 1914-1917 Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. It is believed that this party left the undeveloped negatives.

What an incredible story!

I have come across some fascinating old photographs recently. Here are some 3d photos for WWI. They where found in a  verascope camera which was owned by the French Army. Captured a moment in history in quite an astonishing way.

I'm very excited to introduce my new photographic series – When the Wave Comes from the Mountain. This project explores the formation of dangerous glacial lakes due the worlds changing climate high in the Himalaya Mountains. Please do take a look here;

This work was made in the mountain of Nepal and India in 2012. Much happened on the journey and adventure while shooting the project. It was very challenging both physically and mentally and lots of cold nights. 

The mountains of the Himalaya and completely stunning beyonds words but the mountains are not well. This region is one of the most fragile ecosystems on this planet. Therefore man made climate change is having a huge negative impact. I believe what is happening to the Himalayas is an important wake-up call to the impact of global climate change, it is for this reason that I've created this series of photographs.

The project is partly inspired by photographs taken of this region in the late 1800s by Italian mountaineer and photographer, Vittorio Sella, whose work captured a moment in history when the landscape was virtually undisturbed.

It was such a joy to see Patti Smith and her band for the first time last week in London. There was allot of love in the house along with her punk edge and political and social awareness. Very inspiring!
