I has become very apparent to me that I don’t know very much about other practitioners in the field and while I have seen work done by many of them over the years, I never paid much attention to the photographers or their stories.  The National Geographic series “Tales by Light” brought to focus a handful of well known practitioners.  I have upgraded equipment and have been working diligently to improve my skills with great success. Watching Tales by Light again I was able to appreciate it on an entirely different level.  Now undertaking the MA programme I find it necessary to be more rigorous  and “academic” in developing my research.

I have complied a list of photographers to investigate further.  As I look more closely at their work, technique, and presentation I will compile additional notes on things I feel are relevant to my practice and the field of nature photography in general that will contribute to my research.
