Helen Storer is a self-taught professional photographer specialising in the UK landscape of Broads National Park and the North Norfolk coast. She is the Lead photographer for the Broads National Parks, and believes that Norfolk should be on the wish list for all creative photographers with its big sky’s, unique wildlife and diverse landscapes.

Helen really enjoys sharing her tips and ideas with others to enable them to go out and experiment and create their own ideas and style. As well as the Norfolk Photography Tours, she also runs photography workshops throughout the year, from beginners “Get off Auto” to advance level impressionism and Abstract photography. 

Helen personally enjoys achieving a soft painterly effect in camera, and her aim is to portray the essence of a time and place. Helen loves experimenting with in camera techniques such as varying shutter speeds and selective focusing in order to capture the feeling and emotions.It was just over two years ago when she shared her images. Helen entered her first ever photography competition in 2017, and little did she know then that this would be the catalyst to her professional journey. Just two years ago, Helen was awarded finalist by International Garden Photographer of the year (Abstract) with one of her images using a technique known as “in the round”. This image gave her the confidence to follow her heart and personal style; and today she is known as “the lady that paints with her camera”. 

Since then, Helen’s passion and self-confidence has grown as she continues to develop her own photography style rather than follow the “traditional norm” of landscape photography. Since 2017, Helen has been published in several international magazines since then and has gone on to be awarded further awards for her images.

_________________________

Tom Mackie has photographed landscapes the world over, and his refined sense of design, affinity of light and technical mastery has established his reputation as one of the world’s leading practitioners of the art.

A photographer all his working life, Tom began his career with a five-year stint as an industrial and architectural photographer in Los Angeles fresh from gaining his degree in commercial photography. Travelling extensively through the vast, cinemascope terrain of the Western States during this period ignited a life-long passion for landscapes, and he realised the confines of a commercial studio were no longer going to be enough.

In 1985 he moved from his native US to the UK to pursue a full-time career as a landscape photographer, and rapidly made his name with calendars, books and magazine work for a wide range of clients. Architectural and travel commissions added to his repertoire, accolades followed from The British Institute of Professional Photographers, the Ilford Awards and the Business Calendar Awards, and his reputation as one of the world’s leading landscape photographers was sealed by his inclusion in The World’s Top Photographers: Landscape, published by RotoVision and most recently recently in ‘Masters of Landscape Photography’ published by Ammonite Press.

He has written two books ‘Photos with Impact’, ‘Landscape Photography Secrets’ and “Digital SLR Experts: Landscape” is a collaboration with four other top photographers all published by David and Charles.

Tom runs a series of photography workshops in spectacular locations both in the UK and abroad.  www.tommackie.com

Wilco Dragt is a Dutch fine art landscape photographer. After a study and career in business administration he decided to plunge into a career of photography. He is known for his minimalistic and stylish work. His compositions are well thought  of and stripped down to the bare essentials. Wilco has a preference for waterscapes and snowscapes and in order to make his images minimal he quite often uses long exposure times. Most of his work is in black and white and several art galleries sell his work to a wide audience.

Next to his own photography he runs workshops and photo tours. Quite a few of these tours are located in the UK, mainly in Scotland. From the first time he came there, he fell in love with the country.

He has been part of the judging panels for Outdoor Photographer Of The Year and Landscape Photographer Of The Year and for the last decade, he has been writing a monthly column in Outdoor Photography Magazine about the aesthetics of landscape photography.“The enduring lure of landscape photography is perpetuated for me, by emotional transference. The seemingly impossible challenge of encapsulating the emotion surrounding a special moment in time and successfully transferring all that emotion through to the viewer of the final exhibited print. Pete is about to start a new YouTube channel all about the art and aesthetics of landscape photography.

Robert has been a guest speaker on numerous occasions (including at the Scottish Nature Photography Festival) and runs a wide range of workshops and overseas tours to such locations as the Peak District, Exmoor, Iceland and Lapland.

About Sarah Howard: My interest in photography was initiated by my father, himself an accomplished amateur photographer, and developed further through time spent traveling overseas. 

Inspired, and subsequently mentored, by the renowned UK landscape photographer Charlie Waite, I was encouraged to develop my photography further and so it is to him I owe much gratitude for supporting me and helping me find my path in life. In 2010, wishing to pass my knowledge on to others I set up ‘Image Seen’ which offers a variety of landscape photography workshops throughout the UK and Europe, as well as tailored one to one tuition. I absolutely love the workshops I do as not only do they give me great satisfaction, they also enable me to share some of the beautiful places I have been to, with others. At present, I am currently working on my second book; ‘Photographing the Cotswolds’; part of the FotoVUE guidebook series. I am a great believer of getting it right in camera rather than relying on too much manipulation in post production. I seek, in my image making, to record the landscape as it is, and to photograph it naturally and beautifully. 

Aside of photography, my greatest passion remains travel and I am at my happiest whilst exploring the great outdoors with my camera. As a creative tool the camera has allowed me to express my love of the landscape. Photography has certainly changed my life in the sense that it’s opened my eyes and allowed me to truly ‘see' the beauty of what is around me. Through it, I have found my vision has become more fine-tuned and I now look at my surroundings completely differently. As such, with a greater appreciation of the landscape I feel I have also developed a greater connection.   Visit Sarah’s Website or her Facebook page for more!
