Forces of Nature with Claire Carter

Forget the idea that landscape photography is about still life. In Claire’s world, the land is constantly moving, breathing, and changing.

In this 3-part series, Claire will share with you how to stop taking static snapshots and start capturing the energy of the elements - from the rushing tides of the Scottish Highlands to the dancing Northern Lights.

If your landscape images ever feel a bit flat, this is the series that will give them a pulse!
