Make sure you check out our video interview<\/a> with Charlie where he talks all things LPOTY.<\/em><\/h3>\n

I had no idea Landscape Photographer of the Year (LPOTY) would be so successful back in 2007, and no idea there were so many talented landscape photographers in UK and all over the world,\u2019 reflects a welcoming and relaxed Charlie Waite when AP interviewed him recently at home \u2013 home being a converted mill in rural Dorset. \u2018I hoped it would go into year two and three, but didn\u2019t really look much beyond that.\u2019<\/p>\n

Given the enduring popularity of landscape photography, it is surprising nobody had conceived of the idea of a competition before, so Charlie is a justifiably proud parent. \u2018I think I can claim it was my idea,and we developed it at a time when photographic competitions were really catching on. I approached the AA for sponsorship, who took about five seconds to decide, and the rest is history.\u2019<\/p>\n

As Charlie notes, a big part of the early appeal was the chance for photographers to get their work published in a full-colour book. \u2018Facebook had just begun but all you get on there are \u201clikes\u201d and brief comments. People wanted to take their images further. Getting them in a book consolidates them and kind of legitimises them.\u2019<\/p>\n

Even in its launch year, LPOTY attracted an impressive 20,000 or so entries. \u2018The quality from the outset was high, though a few entrants didn\u2019t read the terms and conditions,\u2019 Charlie recalls. \u2018Interestingly, the number of entries has remained pretty constant, but the quality has gone up \u2013 people have realised it\u2019s about urban and rural landscapes, so we don\u2019t get so many pictures of cats or dogs (though a dog did win it one year…).\u2019<\/p>\n

LPOTY is open to amateurs and pros, so anyone can enter from anywhere in the world \u2013 the only caveat is that their entries were taken in the UK. \u2018It\u2019s interesting to see how photographers from other countries interpret the UK and indeed, one year a French guy won.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t

Broad church<\/h2>\n

These days the term \u2018landscape photography\u2019 encompasses a wide variety of subjects and approaches, and LPOTY is by necessity a broad church, able to accommodate some very diverse responses to the great outdoors. \u2018Our categories embrace all the ways people like to interpret the landscapes, urban or rural, but traditional Classic View category will always have huge appeal,\u2019 Charlie notes. \u2018But we knew the definition of landscape photography was shifting, so there\u2019s room for the more off beat, unconventional approach. Good landscape photography is about being a responder and an interpreter.\u2019<\/p>\n

Recently, some more abstract and impressionistic images have won major photography competitions, not without controversy. Charlie has no problem with what he calls a more interpretive and conceptual approach to landscape, so long as it has emotional impact. \u2018To shut your mind to new photographic styles and approaches is an insular way of looking at photography. If the entries transport the viewer to a new place in their interpretation, then the creator of that work has produced something really remarkable. When the viewer shudders and their heart skips a beat, the image has worked \u2013 whether it\u2019s a conventional approach or a more experimental one. People like Valda Bailey, for example, really move me, but it\u2019s not just about how clever or experimental they\u2019ve been.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t

Commitment and intent<\/h2>\n

Charlie is also keen to stress that he and the other judges have no objection to Photoshop per se. \u2018Photoshop is not a crime, it\u2019s a marvellous bit of kit, and I call it the electronic darkroom. The only time I think it crosses the line is when Photoshop is used so much that the image looks over-engineered, and the viewer\u2019s connection with the image is broken \u2013 they become suspicious. Other problems are over-pixelation, allowing artefacts through and very noisy images \u2013 that is just sloppy.\u2019<\/p>\n

A particular bugbear for Charlie is badly executed HDR. \u2018A lot of people use HDR to compensate for shadows descending into deep black nothingness. Once you start that process, however, you are messing with God\u2019s light, interfering with a lighting scenario that happened completely naturally. If you are going to compensate for the dynamic range of your camera\u2019s sensor or film, then make sure it has parity with what the eye would normally see. In other words, don\u2019t put too much light into a scene where there would normally be shadow at a certain time, or your viewer will end up asking where the light is coming from!\u2019<\/p>\n

A perceived lack of sharpness, however, isn\u2019t necessarily a reason to reject an entry. \u2018If the image has something technically wrong with it, but has a huge emotional tug, it doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s unsharp, as it\u2019s worked \u2013 and the photographer generally will know it isn\u2019t sharp. It\u2019s like intentionally grainy film. I did a book on a Venice a few years ago, and used grainy film as I felt it was more suited to such an old city. The images that don\u2019t get through the early rounds of LPOTY are the ones which have collapsed \u2013 not in terms of aesthetics, but in terms of bad processing.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t

Panel takes some beating<\/h2>\n

When it comes to the judging panel, Charlie tries to make it as democratic and inclusive as possible. The panel includes pundits as diverse as broadcaster Nicholas Crane of Coast<\/em> fame; The Sunday Times Magazine<\/em> picture editor Russ O\u2019Connell; AP\u2019s very own Nigel Atherton; and VisitBritain\u2019s Jasmine Teer. \u2018The question entrants tend to ask is, \u201cIs the panel qualified to judge my work?\u201d and they definitely are,\u2019 Charlie asserts. \u2018The panel are not all landscape photographers, however. I think that would be too rarified and it wouldn\u2019t work. You need somebody from the street, too. I want to make the whole of the UK say, \u201cIsn\u2019t that winner lovely\u201d, not just other landscape photographers.\u2019<\/p>\n

Charlie is proud that the judging panel scrutinises all the images properly, at full size on carefully calibrated monitors, rather than squinting at lots of thumbnails or low-res JPEGs. So what kind of images tend to catch the panel\u2019s eye and therefore get through the judging rounds?<\/p>\n

\u2018Images that create an emotional connection. If you are not wholeheartedly confident in the image you are about to make, your lack of confidence will be conveyed to the viewer, who will recognise what you are trying to say, but conclude you could have done it better. So my advice to all photographers is to commit 100% to the image. It\u2019s not just a photograph you are taking, it\u2019s a massive production, and you need to engage with all the elements. I\u2019m happy to admit I once had pictures rejected by a client as they were slack and second rate. I didn\u2019t commit and I didn\u2019t wait for better light.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t

People, places and things<\/h2>\n

Charlie goes on to stress that potential entrants shouldn\u2019t be put off if they have photographed a very familiar place \u2013 the Scottish highlands or Durdle Door, for instance. \u2018Our judges won\u2019t dismiss an image just because it shows a clich\u00e9d scene. On the day the photographer took the picture, it might not have been a clich\u00e9 if they had never been there before. But with very familiar places, it\u2019s good to go online and look at other interpretations and what\u2019s been done before. So with Durdle Door, for instance, get there 10 minutes earlier or stay 10 minutes later. Try to make your images as good or better than the competition.\u2019<\/p>\n

Potential entrants shouldn\u2019t assume that they can only submit landscape images devoid of people, either. \u2018There are categories for images with people, either Living the View or Your View,\u2019 Charlie explains. \u2018If they are the right people, then the photographer will know that, but if they just strayed into the scene, it means there is an element of the image that the photographer has not exerted any control over. The worst thing is when a photographer doesn\u2019t notice that a person or stray element has crept into their picture.\u2019<\/p>\n

Charlie returns to this concept of a successful landscape image being a grand production. \u2018It\u2019s like a movie. An edited movie wouldn\u2019t be delivered with a boom mic suddenly appearing in a scene. When the image is printed at a large size, then all the component parts \u2013 and all the errors \u2013 are going to be very evident. All the elements which make the final image have to be decided upon, and not just there by accident.\u2019<\/p>\n

So what are Charlie\u2019s hopes and plans for LPOTY? \u2018We\u2019d like to tour the exhibition more, to take it to continental Europe to show off the UK\u2019s landscape, and to encourage more entries from overseas. We\u2019re also keen to get more entries from young people, which is already happening. Generally, I want to get more people to engage with the landscape, because it\u2019s a really really good thing to do. We are so dislocated from our landscape and the natural world at the moment, so being out there in it is like a therapy. When I haven\u2019t photographed for six weeks, I feel worried and nervous… I must rekindle my relationship with the landscape and afterwards I feel enriched, even if I haven\u2019t got a photograph. I have touched something that is so real. Landscape photography is not just about making a photograph, it makes you think about who you are and your purpose in life.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t

After bike-packing the length of France in her teens with her family, she started to undertake solo adventures in her 20s. Always a keen swimmer, she discovered a love of wild water 15 years ago, and has since swum the Dart 10k three times, qualified as a swim coach and learned to freedive. She is formerly editor of Advnture.com and deputy editor of Mountain Biking UK magazine and jumps at the chance to swim somewhere slightly muddy and remote, no matter how cold the water.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iswim.likeagirl\/"],"url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/author\/roseewoodland\/"}]}},"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/05\/LPOTY-Stephen-Cheatley-The-Power-of-Nature.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-27 14:39:23","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105319","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/323"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=105319"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105319\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":105710,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105319\/revisions\/105710"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/105325"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=105319"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=105319"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=105319"},{"taxonomy":"product-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category?post=105319"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
