What makes a great landscape photograph? What makes one photograph better than another? And can you really give photographs a score? With these philosophical questions in mind, the International Landscape Photographer of the Year 2014 weaves a narrow path through the complexities of art and the contradictions of competition. We award places for both photographs and photographers, and then we deliver the top 101 landscape photographs. Is this the best collection of contemporary landscape photography you have ever seen?

art presented by nature and found by the photographer. They believe little can be added to improve on what has been provided to the camera. For others, the landscape is something to be interpreted. It is a starting point for creative expression and, while based on a real place, the result can be a figment of the artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imagination. The International Landscape Photographer of the Year Award is designed to celebrate all genres of landscape photography by engaging the services of respected landscape photograph judges with a range of different views. And within this book, we present the very best 101 landscape photographs submitted from all over the world. You will find the simplest and most elegant of compositions sitting next to an adventurous and sophisticated composite. Which do you like? Or, like us, do you simply enjoy the art of landscape photography, no

There’s something magical about a book of photographs, the expectation as you turn each page, the excitement and surprise as you look at amazing photograph after amazing photograph. This is our vision: to create a landscape photography publication that is so beautiful, every serious landscape photographer in the world will want to be involved. And this is the first book. It represents contemporary landscape photography in a wide context as curated by our esteemed panel of experienced judges: David Burnett, Jim M. Goldstein, David Ward, Jackie Ranken and Tony Hewitt. My role as head judge and chairman was to facilitate the judging process, but I did not take part in the judging myself. It was a pleasure working with the five judges, reading their views and admiring their professionalism. But don’t think for a minute that our judges agreed on everything. Far from it! For instance, there were five nominations for the International Landscape Photographer of the Year and it took quite some discussion to pare them down to a single winner. And in many ways, this vindicates our desire to present the top 101 landscape photographs. While the prize winners of the 2014 competition are very worthy, I’m sure even they would acknowledge that there are a lot of other great photographs and photographers in this book that could just as easily have been in the winners’ circle. Photography is art and as art, it’s subjective. So, by publishing the top 101 landscape photographs, we hope to fairly represent a wide range of the best landscape photographs without getting too caught up with the mechanics of a judging system. Our first Award attracted 2233 photographs from 519 photographers. We had entrants from all corners of the globe, although it’s fair to observe a large proportion came from Australia and New Zealand where the competition is based. However, it’s our aim to broaden the entrant base over the coming years and, with our first competition so successful, we’re looking forward to next year already! The International Landscape Photographer of the Year Award was developed by Nathan Oxley, David Evans and myself. We all have considerable experience in entering and running photography awards, and we also have a passion for landscape photography. These awards seemed inevitable. We also wanted to present more than just a winning photograph. While the first place International Landscape Photograph of the Year is breathtaking, to be named International Landscape Photographer of the Year requires more than a single shot. The Photographer of the Year was chosen from a portfolio of four images representing consistency as well as a spark of artistic brilliance. We added in some fun special awards that might mean more to other landscape photographers than the general public. But that’s who this book is for: landscape photographers. Will we see you here next year? Peter Eastway G.M.Photog., FNZIPP, Hon. FAIPP, Hon. FNZIPP, FAIPP Chairman of Judges, International Landscape Photographer of the Year Awards

The International Landscape Photographer of the Year 2014

Christian Fletcher lives in Dunsborough, the heart of the picturesque south-west of Western Australia. He cut his teeth shooting with black and white film – Christian set up a small darkroom at his parents’ place and spent hours mixing chemicals, making prints and learning from his mistakes. This was before the internet, digital cameras and YouTube – and he attributes where he is today from the trial and error of his film days. Without the control offered by Photoshop, Christian says he learnt to get it right in-camera and this is so important for landscape photography. He started selling black and white framed photographs through a local restaurant and from there

he soon picked up some commercial work, portraits and weddings. But after six years of working professionally, he was ready to give it up. A holiday was planned to get away and reassess his priorities. On day two of the holiday, he met a woman with a photography gallery in Esperance. This was what he needed to see, to get enthused about photography again and to realise he had strayed from his love of creating landscape images. Several months later, Christian set up stalls at the local markets and a small gallery space at the picture framer where he worked part-time. With sales increasing, so did his ambition to have his own dedicated space in Dunsborough. He also set up two further galleries in neighbouring Margaret River and Mandurah. The business Christian Fletcher Photo Images was born and he established himself as one of the country’s leading landscape photographers. In 2009 he joined the Australian Institute of Professional Photography (AIPP) and in 2011 was awarded the Western Australian AIPP Professional Landscape Photographer of the Year and also the AIPP Australian Professional Landscape Photographer of the Year. In 2014, he was again awarded the Western Australian AIPP Professional Landscape Photographer of the Year. Today, Christian spends his time running the galleries, creating new images and teaching photography to people all over the world. His passion remains as strong as it was all those years ago. He is constantly striving for perfection and changing direction to keep up with the latest advances in

imaging technology. The future looks bright. Christian’s photographs are aerials taken over Collie, Kwinana and Kalgoorlie in Western Australia, showing a bauxite mine, tailing dams and, just for contrast, a market garden.

“After crews finally put out all the spot fires, I went in search of a

magic abstract image that I had been visualising over the previous week, based on the colours and shapes produced by the fire.

“The burnt and black half of the photograph are the shorter bottle

brush trees, while the orange half with the taller scorched trees are the gums. I felt it created an interesting composition which I named Life and Death.

“The photograph was captured with a remote Helicam, a Canon EOS

The International Landscape Photographer of the Year 2014 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Special Awards

THERE ARE SOME THINGS only a landscape photographer understands. Whether hiking across the tundra in the Arctic or slaving over a computer screen back in the studio, there are aspects of landscape photography that have become a part of our language. Some of these aspects border on being clichĂŠ, yet we seem destined to persevere with them, struggling to resolve our aesthetic disposition with subjects that we respond to inately.

As part of the curatorial process, the judges were invited to

nominate images from the Top 101 that best represented some of these fundamental landscape milestones: blurred water, sunsets, piers and lone trees.

We also asked them to acknowledge a landscape popular with

photographers the world over. This year we chose Iceland.

So, while we extend a sense of humour with these Special Awards,

we equally recognise the brilliance of the winning images and the photographers who created them.

Making Prints

hotographers Glenn McKimmin and Danny Irvine are as passionate as we are about photography. Taking over from legendary Australian photographer Ken Duncan, Glenn and Danny have reinvented Created For Life, turning it into a state of the art facility that offers sophisticated printing, mounting and framing. And naturally Ken Duncan continues to use Created For Life for all his own work, along with

other professional photographers like Mark Gray and Phillip Ayres. However, the new focus of Created For Life is to print and frame for everyone and readers such as yourself are invited to try its services.

Sending Files Most customers send their files to Created For Life via the internet and full instructions on preparing your files can be found on its website – essentially

you need to re-size your flattened files as JPEGs or TIFFs, depending on the size of the print you want. However, many customers are also sending in their raw files, along with broad instructions of what they want the final image to look like. Created For Life then works on the raw file and sends you back your finished file and print. “A lot of people try Photoshop themselves,” explained Glenn, “but no matter how many hours

Created For Life offers both traditional photographic prints as well as beautiful inkjet prints. Photographic prints with an incredibly high gloss finish are made on Fujiflex Crystal Archive material and are printed up to 30-inches wide on a Lambda printer. This is the paper used by landscape photographers for many years to create a rich depth with vibrant colours, surpassing the old but popular Cibachrome (Ilfochrome) paper. Created for Life also offers Fujicolor Crystal Archive in matte and lustre finishes. Of course, today many of the world’s leading photographers are discovering the magic of high quality inkjet printing. Explained Glenn, “We exclusively use Hahnemuhle paper and we are aiming to be the first Hahnemuhle-certified lab in Australia. We use Epson Pro Stylus 9900 machines, offering prints up to 44-inches wide on the full range of Hahnemuhle surfaces.” Created For Life also offers Chromajet Metallic papers and they will soon be installing an Epson Sure Lab, the most advanced dry lab in the world. “This will open us to the wedding and portrait market as well, offering bulk printing at affordable prices. “However, at present, most of our clients are producing prints for display on a wall. Some make five prints a year, some make 5000 prints, but

we’re seeing that the industry has changed a lot in recent years. “It used to be that people would buy another photographer’s work to put on the wall, but now they want to put up their own photographs. The market has shifted to a DIY, which means not only do we need to offer printing, but mounting and framing as well.”

Seeing is Believing So, once you have a beautiful print, how do you mount and frame it? Created For Life has a myriad of ideas and options, from simple mounts to incredibly elegant frames from Bellini. “We have changed the way you view framing. Normally a framing shop is small and crowded with hundreds of samples on the wall, but it can be hard to get a sense of what is possible. “At Created For Life, we’ve created a purposedesigned gallery that displays a range of frames and mouldings because nothing works as well as seeing the real thing hanging on a wall.” The Created For Life showroom is impressive and will also host customers’ own exhibitions from time to time. And with 40,000 cars driving past the gallery each day, it’s in a prime location in Erina.

Mounting Before hanging or framing, prints generally need to be mounted and Created For Life offers a range of options, from acrylic face mounting to Dibond, aluminium and stretched canvases. These can be hung directly on a wall without a frame if desired and many people like this modern look. “For Fujiflex and high gloss prints, we recommend Dibond or 100% anodised aluminum imported from Germany. We also have the

Danny Irvine

Glenn ran Created For Life for four years before he and Danny purchased it from Ken Duncan. He also worked for three years as Ken’s assistant. A consummate professional photographer, Glenn’s passion is for landscapes and teaching others how to create great images.

Danny met Glenn at one of Ken Duncan’s workshops five years ago and since then they have partnered in a wedding portrait business. The ever practical Danny was responsible for renovating the Created For Life gallery and now with his attention to detail, he oversees the framing side of the business.

Archival Gold service which puts a protective Mylar coating over the entire print.” For inkjet media, Gatorfoam is all that’s needed to produce a super flat surface. “Inkjet paper is thicker than Fujiflex, so it’s not going to pick up any of the irregularities of the backing board, and so it looks super flat on Gatorfoam.” Acrylic face mounting can also look sensational on a wall, especially with polished edges and backed with Dibond up to 19 millimetres deep. And of course there is the popular canvas – there are lots of examples to choose from on the Created For Life website, including a series of small videos to give you a better feel for exactly what you’re ordering.

Framing Created For Life offers a full range of frames, from inexpensive practical designs right up to the finest quality, Italian-made Bellini frames. “Bellini is a fourth-generation moulding manufacturer that offers the most incredible moulds you have ever seen. It lets us push custom framing beyond anything seen in Australia before.”

To choose your frames, you can visit the Created For Life website, but there’s also a fulltime consultant who you can talk to in person or on the phone. According to Glenn, the most popular Bellini frames are the bold, boxy 180-series, and the Balinese wood look series B145 can also look stunning. “And don’t forget the Roma Elite, the most desirable moulding in the world!” Created For Life has one of the most extensive ranges of custom framing in the country, as well as an extensive range of photo frames and family gallery ‘ready-made’ frames. “We sell lots of frames simply because people can see how good they look at full size. Having the gallery is a game changer for the industry and there’s no one else like us in Australia.” And no matter where you are in Australia, you can use the services of Created For Life. They have truly mastered the art of packaging and posting large framed prints all over the world – remember, they handle Ken Duncan’s work as well. “Our aim is to be the finest producer of finished photographic printing and framing in

Australia, and with the connections we have with Bellini, Hahnemuhle and Fujifilm, we are also using the finest materials available.” And with over 200 years of experience with their lab and framing staff, you too can be assured of a great result.

DAVID WARD PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER & AUTHOR

Judge For DAVID WARD, childhood holidays in the Lake District and Cornwall led to a love of landscape and a desire to try and express his sense of wonder through art. He became fascinated by photography in his late teens and was accepted for the prestigious Film & Photographic Arts course at PCL in London, where he was a student of Victor Burgin. David graduated with a BA Hons in 1983. He has now spent thirty years travelling the world with his large format camera. His eye for colour and form is without equal and he produces work that is startling in both its clarity and intensity. As well as numerous articles, David has written two critically acclaimed books on his craft; “Landscape Within” (2004) and “Landscape Beyond” (2008). In these, through a series of essays, he explores the medium’s history and looks at deeper philosophical questions about art and photography. He is fascinated by the gap between vision and photography and seeks to explore this through his work. “There is a mystery wrapped in every photograph. Each is unquestionable proof of an individual point in space and time; they are true. And yet they lie. They have the power of illusion, the power to transcend their subject. For me, photography isn’t about the subject, this is just raw material. What matters is how photography changes our perception of the world. Every photograph is a transformation and I’m intrigued by how making an image effects this change and how this affects the viewer.” David is also a passionate educator who loves to share his knowledge and insights through lectures and photo workshops and tours. www.into-the-light.com www.into-the-light.com/workshops 144
