Durdle Door Heritage Limited Edition Fine Art Print Landscape Photograph Paul Reiffer Dorset Photographer Jurassic Coast World Heritage Sunrise

Durdle Door – The Challenges Facing Our Jurassic Coast’s Heritage

Search for the words “Durdle Door”, and you’ll probably find something relating to a “natural limestone arch”, an “UNESCO World Heritage Site”, or even part of the 12,000 acre “Lulworth Estate” which is owned by the Weld family in Dorset. Stood on top of the cliffs looking out over this dramatic archway that pierces the coastline, it’s difficult to not be impressed by its presence – as I was the morning I shot this amazing […]

Frame Averaging – A Complete Guide To The New Long Exposure Triangle

It’s been around 18 months since Phase One first launched the concept of Frame Averaging in their IQ4 series of digital backs – a technology that can produce an in-camera long exposure image, essentially “decoupling” time from the traditional exposure triangle, with no need for filters in front of the lens. As one of their global ambassadors, it was great to see it develop through from those very first images I shot for the Phase […]

Moments That Last A Lifetime – The Story Of Our Prints

There comes a time, when “it’s time”. Time to tell our story… Lockdown, and the current “unprecedented situation” forced a few things upon us – not least of which, switching from being in another country for 291 nights last year to being at home for the most I’ve ever been since the age of 13. But that forced downtime came with a silver lining, even if I couldn’t see it at the start. For years, […]

Paul Reiffer Yoga Photographer Bad Back Broken Fix Chiropractor Bolster Manduka Zoom Online Class Sida Yoga Teacher Private

Yoga vs Photography – One good for the back, one… maybe not so much.

That, there, is a bead of my sweat. It’s fallen on my yoga mat after participating, willingly, in one of Vic’s online sida yoga sessions. And for balance, here are some other things I never thought I’d be saying, if I went back to a year ago today: My elderly relatives are proficient in “Zooming”, and how to “connect to audio”. I’ve managed to make a tank of fuel last 4 months. I got quite good at […]

Comet Neowise – NeoWhere? Finding the Coolest Thing in the Night Sky

As the brightest comet in nearly a quarter of a century, you’d think that catching a glimpse of the huge cosmic ice-ball otherwise known as C/2020 F3 “NEOWISE” would be easy. After all, many had reported seeing it in the pre-dawn sky, and it’s a pretty decent size at 3 miles wide. As it travels through space at a rate of 144,000 miles per hour, nearly 70 million miles away from earth, NEOWISE has become […]

Life in Lockdown – With the 16-Core Mac Pro & Apple Pro Display XDR

Do I rip open the seal on my new yoga mat & sit on it for a while, or do I unbox the pallet of new gear from Apple which contains my shiny Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR? The yoga mat has remained in its packaging to this day – I’ve been busy…
The Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR, on the other hand – were out, unboxed, and ready to be put to work in 47 seconds flat. […]

Dual Exposure+ – Testing the New Phase One Lab in Miami’s South Beach

My phone buzzed – “are you going anywhere with bright lights and deep shadows soon?” was the question. It was the guys at Phase One, with a new “toy” for me to play with – an incredible enhancement to the IQ4 medium format digital back which would allow for shadows to be recovered, virtually noise-free, with a 3-stop difference to the highlights in what appears to be one single shot. In other words, the “natural […]

Patagonia El Chalten Sunset Argentina Mount Fitz Roy Professional Travel Landscape Photography Paul Reiffer Phase One Ambassador South America National Park

Patagonia – Part Two: Mt Fitz Roy, El Chaltén, Argentina

Nearly a year on, and we return to “Part Two” of my Patagonia trip – following on from the time already spent in Chile’s Torres Del Paine National Park. It turns out, there’s a LOT of paperwork involved in taking a car from Chile to Argentina – something that Mark had (luckily) flagged before we picked it up in Punta Arenas. Without all these documents (and fees) being arranged when you collect your car in […]

Milford Sound – The Superstar of New Zealand’s Fiordland National Park

Standing tall and majestic in New Zealand’s Fiordland National Park, the peaks that surround Milford Sound can capture light in truly magnificent ways, all through the year. Whether it’s the deep, misty haze that each morning can bring, or the final rays of sunlight on a spring afternoon, there’s something special about this iconic view that just keeps pulling me back to visit time and time again. They say the journey is often just as […]

Greenland – Capturing the Glaciers & Icebergs of the Arctic Circle

There’s something inherently mysterious and special about visiting arctic circle locations such as Greenland. Whether it’s the months of nightless days or dayless nights, the extreme temperatures in which people still manage to survive, the stunning scenery by itself, or the first-hand view you get of what is happening to our world’s climate – there was enough attraction to convince me, along with Thomas from Rollei, to head north and explore. Having decided to head […]
