A working photographer since 1980, Joe Cornish is based in North Yorkshire and has devoted almost the last three decades to landscape photography, especially in the north of England and Scotland. His work is divided between large scale commissions and workshops. His first workshop was a tour to Venice in 1997, and he has led countless workshops, tours, seminars and one-to-ones since. His landscape photography translates a sense of connection with the natural world through texture and colour, space and light. Joe is a renowned thinker on the role of photography with a strong emphasis on the global environment, and has written countless articles, many appearing in: https://www.onlandscape.co.uk/ , which he helped co-found. An honorary Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society, he was first Chair of the Landscape Distinctions panel. Recent books include: Scotland’s Mountains; Scotland’s Coast; The Northumberland Coast; This Land; Capability Brown; Humphry Repton; Woodland Sanctuary (with Simon Baxter); Still Time to Wonder (on Fountains Abbey).
