Merrill Jacobs: 'My work is rooted in a deep appreciation for the natural world, with a particular focus on landscapes, woodland, and coastlines. Drawn to the quiet drama of open spaces and the subtle details of nature, my scenes balance atmosphere and texture, from dense forest paths to windswept shores. Through a thoughtful use of light and composition, the photographs convey a sense of place and stillness, inviting viewers to slow down and experience the changing moods of land and sea.'

Richard Foyn: ‘I took my first photograph in 1969 using my father’s bellows 120mm roll film camera. One of the shots on the first roll was subsequently used as a book illustration and I’ve has been trying to match that achievement ever since. Many tens of thousands of images later, a few of which I’m quite proud of, I’m still attempting to take better pictures. I have discovered, to my cost, that more money spent on equipment simply results better quality rejects but I keep on trying. ‘
