Jack and John are joined by Joe Cornish, one of the foremost landscape photographers working today, who calls in from his home in the UK. Their wide-ranging conversation moves from the practical side of photography to its more profound and philosophical dimensions. It proved so engaging that it ran long and has been divided into two parts for easier listening. Tune in to this first volume to hear from one of the true greats of landscape photography.
Joe Cornish is a British landscape photographer born in 1958 and based in North Yorkshire, England. Trained at Newcastle Polytechnic in the 1970s and early 80s, 
he worked as a commercial photographer for a time before devoting himself fully to landscape work. He is known for his large-format approach, long working with a 5×4 field camera and transparency film before later adopting digital capture, and for an aesthetic built on patient observation, careful composition, and a sensitivity to the quality of light, especially the soft, atmospheric conditions around dawn and dusk. His subjects span the British coastline and uplands, from Northumberland and the Yorkshire Dales to Scotland and the Lake District, as well as destinations further afield including Iceland, the American West, and Italy’s Dolomites.
Beyond his own images, Cornish has become one of the more influential voices in British landscape photography through his books, teaching, and writing. He has published a number of well-regarded titles, including First Light, which became something of a touchstone for aspiring landscape photographers, and he has produced work for organizations such as the National Trust. He has also been a long-standing contributor to photography magazines and a popular workshop leader, passing on his emphasis on thoughtful, unhurried image-making over technical showiness. His standing in the field is reflected in his ambassadorial roles with photographic brands and in recognition from the industry, and his work is widely seen as bridging the traditions of classical landscape photography with a contemporary, accessible sensibility.
