North Northwest – The Art and Craft of Landscape Photography

Julian Calverley shares the creative spirit behind North Northwest, his new exhibition at Xposure 2026. Known for evocative landscape work and a long career in advertising photography since 1988, he reveals how a straightforward personal approach to field craft balances the complexity of commercial production. Drawing on decades of assignments and solitary days in wild places, he explores the art, craft, process, and mindset that shape memorable landscape photographs. Topics include sources of inspiration, thoughtful pre planning, reading weather, timing and light, simple and reliable equipment choices with weather protection, practical use of on camera filters, building panoramas in the field, and a clean approach to post production with the importance of printing. His aim is simple, to inspire photographers to create with clarity and purpose.
