“I can now attest there are few pleasures more wonderful than being slowly warmed by the rising sun in a sweet-smelling meadow. The gentle buzz of insects gradually coming to life was the only noise bar the sporadic shutter clicks of seven cameras.”

Helen Nicholson

“So what have I learned in my days on the frozen Slovakian mountainside? That once you’ve managed to thaw out your frozen fingers, landscape photography is a lot of fun. That you can learn more in three days on location with a professional photographer than six months in the classroom. And that, in order to produce impressive images, you need patience, dedication and a certain amount of skullduggery.”
