Joe Cornish is a well known and highly respected traditional landscape photographer, best known for his nearly twenty-year long contribution of landscape work to the National Trust, and for his columns and articles in the British photographic press.

In this video by Tim Parkin Cornish counts landscape work of the Australian photographer Peter Dombrovskis as one of his primary influences when he was starting photography. He interprets Dombrovskis' pictures as hailing back to Eliot Porter's sense of natural beauty and quiet composition.

Cornish says in introducing Tim Parkin's Great British Landscapes:

My own experience of photographing landscape is that what began quite simply as a way of adding a creative element to a walk or simply being outside, grew to become a whole way of life. As an eye-witness to the shape of the land, the seasonal cycles, the variety of habitats and the extraordinary variety that arises on the planet, we become engaged by it and ultimately connected to it. This sense of connection feeds back through our photographs, giving us new conversations and communication with both people we know, and now with complete strangers via the Internet.
