I hardly teach. It's more like a gathering of minds looking at one subject and learning from each other. I enjoy the process.
Fay GodwinI had no aspirations to become a landscape photographer at all. In fact it was portraiture that was my beginning, I suppose. I have always been a very keen walker, though, and I often took a camera with me on my walks. But I was, and still am, an avid reader and so when I first started I chose to photograph many of the great writers in this country to try and earn a living.

Fay GodwinI donโt get wrapped up in technique and the like. I have a simple rule and that is to spend as much time in the location as possible. You canโt expect to take a definitive image in half an hour. It takes days, often years. And in fact I donโt believe there is such a thing as a definitive picture of something. The land is a living, breathing thing and light changes its character every second of every day. Thatโs why I love it so much.
