Landscape photography isn’t just about the beautiful surroundings of our environment; it’s a way of documenting time. Natural phenomena, the elements, and how the landscape changes around are fascinating subjects, and due to the easy accessibility as well as the aesthetics, plenty of creatives choose this as a subject.
“I entered my image into the UK LPOTY competition because of the way the heath fire had destroyed the character of this local heathland. It went from life to death, and then the regeneration could begin,” Mik says. He passes this spot every time he travels through the New Forest National Park, and when a heath fire destroyed the landscape he saw the photographic potential of the scene. “It needed to be a panorama to give a perspective of the size of the area affected,” he explains.
