Woodland Sanctuary
By Simon Baxter and Joe Cornish
Until Saturday 1 April 2023
This joint exhibition by Joe Cornish and Simon Baxter focuses on photographs of woodland in the North York Moors National Park.
Comprising photographs made over several years these woodlands have been a source of exploration, tranquillity, meditation, artistic study and inspiration for both photographers. Originally on display at the Inspired by Gallery in Danby, this beautifully conceived, curated exhibition will be on display at Joe Cornish Galleries in early 2023.
Fountains Abbey
at Joe Cornish Galleries
Photographs by Joe Cornish
19 July - 31 October 2022
We are delighted to be exhibiting some previously unseen prints from Joe Cornish's FASR project, on display on the ground floor of the Galleries.
Joe Cornish was commissioned to photograph Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal just before the COVID pandemic. He was able to continue the project during the unprecedented quietness when the UNESCO World Heritage Site was closed to visitors. Joe’s photographs present another side to this unique site and the stillness that prevailed during those unusual months.
A Sense of Place: photographs by Paul Sanders, Kate Somervell, Patrick Kaye & Susi Petherick
3 September - 26 November 2022
You are warmly invited to come and meet the photographers at the exhibition opening on Saturday 3 September, between 2pm and 4pm.
This engaging exhibition of black and white images by photographers Kate Somervell, Patrick Kaye and Susi Petherick, is the culmination of one year of mentoring by professional photographer and former Picture Editor of The Times, Paul Sanders.
Since leaving the media industry in 2012, Paul has focussed on his own fine art landscape photography:
'Photography is a very personal journey, a combination of technical skill and unique expression of a moment experienced. It personally took me a long time to understand this which is why I was keen to use my experience to support other photographers through a year long mentoring course', explains Paul.
'For me it is important to allow each photographer to explore their own personal influences and allow them to openly express their individual awareness of beauty, in everything from the mundane to the most exquisite landscape. Learning that beauty has no rules, boundaries or formula is one of the most important lessons a photographer can learn'.
As a result, those mentored have drawn inspiration and from a range of locations, from local landscapes, to a suburban allotment and a Crfofy in rural Scotland.
Th mentoring programme proved inspiring to Paul too. 'Drawing on my own experiences and depth of knowledge also enabled me to reflect on the way i work and my own awareness and the barriers I put in my own way too'.
This group exhibition pairs a fascinating body of work from each of the three mentored photographers alongside images forming a personal narrative from Paul representing awareness of place in the world through the equivalence in flowers.

10 Years of Seaworks
by Paul Kenny
21 May - 27 August 2022
Joe Cornish Galleries' summer exhibition - ’10 Years of Seaworks’ features an exciting collection of images, a decade in the making, by highly-respected photographer Paul Kenny.
The exhibition encompasses a series of prints made over approximately the past 10 years which focus on elements of sea-worn and sea-derived remains created into images of mystery and beauty. Paul has developed a unique practice which involves collecting material from favoured beaches and arranging these fragments on glass plates, which he then scans and prints. The results are beautiful, thought provoking and rich in colour.
The exhibition will run across the summer and is a rare opportunity to view Paul Kenny’s images here in the region and the chance to explore the work of one of the UK’s most innovative photographic practitioners.
Exhibition Portfolio

A Decade of Moments
Focus on... Mark Littlejohn
Saturday 15th February 2020 – 30th December 2020
We are delighted that respected outdoor photographer Mark Littlejohn is exhibiting with us for our first 'Focus on...' exhibition of 2020.
Mark has a unique approach to landscape photography, preferring the less popular view and concentraing his efforts on the earlier part of the day. He sees little point in constantly travelling in search of exotic locations, when a beautiful image can be right on your front door, which for Mark is Penrith in Cumbria located between the Eden Valley and Ullswater. Mark says about his photography, 'I would describe myself as an outdoor photographer. I just like to wander with the camera in my hand, no filters or tripod. It is instants in time that I want to capture.'

iPhone prints by Joe Cornish
Permanent display
In the visual arts, practice and preparation are essential. In sculpture that means making a maquette. In painting, the process is characterised by drawing or sketching, whether with pencil, charcoal or watercolour. Eventually the process leads to a definitive piece, perhaps a bronze sculpture, or a major easel painting, incorporating many of the ideas explored in preparation.
Perhaps photographers have always practised too...by making photographs. The evidence for this is preserved in the rolls of film and contact sheets of famous photographers. We see many 'almost-but-not-quite-moments', but there is one where everything seems to come together. The definitive exposure's special status is then reinforced through the interpretation of the printing process, which becomes the finished work.
Over the last four years or so my sketching process has been done with a smart phone. These remarkable hand-held super computers make more sense than a digital compact because they are almost always with us. The screens are far larger and brighter than a digital compact. and finally, the phone manufacturers have revolutionised the technology, so that their native jpeg image output is more appealing than that of a conventional camera.
The exhibition aims to acknowledge the value and significance of the smartphone, at least as it relates to my creative process. We enjoy and appreciate sketches, drawings and cartoons of artists from history, so I feel it is only fair to ask, in the context of contemporary stills photography, has the phone now become the sketchpad and notebook of our time?

A beautiful silence: by Steve Gosling
Friday 12 October - Thursday 15 November
Steve Gosling's beautiful and fascinating photographic exhibition launches at Joe Cornish Galleries on Friday 12 October.
In November 2016 Steve Gosling travelled to South Georgia & Antarctica. This exhibition and accompanying book tell the photographic story of his adventure. The exhibition is not a travel journal, more a collation of the wide variety of subjects that stirred a response in him - from graphic/abstract images to landscapes and the wildlife seen along the way.
The photographs are a mixture of both colour and black & white images that reflected Steve’s visual and emotional response to what he witnessed. Steve chose the equipment, techniques and mode of presentation that best communicated his response to what he saw, experienced and felt during this incredible journey to the end of the world.
#BritishFlowers Part 2: by Tessa Bunney
Saturday 28 July - Thursday 30 August
Tessa's images come from her Farmerflorist project documenting the resurgence of UK artisan cut-flower growing. Tessa's flower photographs are taken immediately in a basic daylight studio against a colourful paper backdrop - with beautiful results.
Floral portraits: Rod Bennington
Saturday 28 July - Thursday 30 August 2018
Like any good portrait photographer, Rod captures his subjects looking at their finest in their natural environment. Rod's set-up and composition can be a lengthy process, requiring a magical combination of the right light, no wind and gentle rain.
Dog Week

Of Wood and Water: photographs by Michela Griffith
Saturday 14 April - Tuesday 22 May 2018
North Yorkshire woodlands and water have helped inspire our forthcoming exhibition at the Joe Cornish Galleries in Northallerton. Landscape photographer Michela Griffith returns to the gallery from Saturday 14 April 2018 with her latest collection of work, Of Wood and Water.
Following her debut solo exhibition at the gallery in 2015 in which Michela introduced her ‘Streamscapes’ celebrating the beauty and diversity of water in motion, she has continued to develop her distinctive style experimenting with movement in and through the landscape.
Of Wood and Water, is the culmination of her continued dialogue with the rivers and streams in North Yorkshire and the Peak District over the last 3 years. This has evolved to also embrace the woodland and trees along the riverbanks with the results forming the inspiration for this latest exhibition.
Michela explains, “Water is still the focus of my photography, but recently I’ve been finding new ways to photograph the trees along the river bank as much as the water itself. This has carried over into my exploration of woodland, and my interrogation of individual trees. These personal interpretations of wood and water, made over the past 3 years, reflect not only the seasons, as experienced near my home in the Peak District or during trips to North Yorkshire, but the curiosity that water has inspired in my practice. Water has fundamentally changed my way of seeing, and I now look at the land with new eyes.”

Midgard: the myth and romance of northern landscapes
Photographs by Lizzie Shepherd 15 July - 9 August
The combination of Lizzie Shepherd's love of Nordic landscapes, together with the lasting legacy of the Vikings on the area of Yorkshire in which she lives, has inspired the title of her forthcoming photographic exhibition - Midgard is the name for Middle Earth in Norse mythology.
Lizzie says, "When wandering through the sheer-sided woodland of Guisecliff Wood, which features heavily in my exhibition, or through other parts of Yorkshire, the Lake District or the Nordic countries, one feels as if one has encountered another world.
Trees are often the protagonists but weather induced elements of cloud, snow, water and ice also play their part in creating that sense of a magical and mythical other-worldly environment.
Beauty is very much in the eye of the beholder. We all see, think and feel differently, but the power of the imagination to conjure up a world beyond the 'straight' landscape that we see, is for me one of the joys of photography."
Salt & cyan: photography using Victorian processes
by David and Angela Chalmers
An exhibition at Joe Cornish Galleries 29 April - 27 May 2017
Salt prints by David Chalmers
Scarborough-based David Chalmers creates his unique photographs using salt, silver and sunlight. He believes this historic formula, invented by the pioneers of photography in the 1830s, has helped him to express a pure, uncomplicated, photographic statement - a personalised vision of the moorland landscape in which he lives and works.
To make a salt print David positions the negative in contact with the silver sensitised paper, then exposes this directly to sunlight or UV light - the Victorians used sunlight to expose images long before the use of electric lamps became widespread towards the end of the nineteenth century. In this early printing method no enlarger is used and the resulting image is the same size as the negative: for his salt prints David uses a large format Deardorff camera, using 8” x 10” negatives which in turn creates 8” x 10” salt prints.
David describes the warm tonal scale of the silver chloride prints as ‘echoing an underlying stillness, creating nostalgic memories of the raw beauty experienced within a unique landscape. These simple images express my humble view of the natural beauty I have discovered whilst exploring the moorland and woodlands of the North York Moors National Park. I feel that the deep rich brown hues within my prints echo the underlying rustic feel that resonates in this landscape’.
For more information about David Chalmers’ salt printing method, please talk to a member of staff. David will be running a Salt Printing workshop at Joe Cornish Galleries on Saturday 13 May you can book online at www.joecornishgallery.co.uk
Cyanotype prints by Angela Chalmers
Angela has a fascination with Victoriana and early printing methods. She uses the cyanotype process to create hauntingly beautiful, unique photograms.
Created in 1842, the cyanotype method is a relatively straightforward one; no darkroom is needed - only sunshine! Cyanotypes are made by placing objects on treated paper and placing this in the sun. The sunlight interacts with the exposed paper which has been light-sensitised with iron salt solutions. It is this simple chemical base which gives the exposed cyanotypes their richly distinctive ‘Prussian blue’ tones. The objects placed on the paper, including photographic negatives, prevent exposure and the paper underneath them remains white, creating a silhouette effect. The well-known term ‘blue- print’, common-place in the English language, derives from the cyanotype method which was used to create copies of architectural drawings from an original made on tracing paper.
The paper Angela uses is hand-coated and varies in size, giving her full creative control over the image she is making. Her themes echo the technique’s origins and refer back to nineteenth century preoccupations. Angela says of her work, ‘My botanical images connect with the ‘language of flowers’ and the popular nineteenth century pastime of flower collecting, pressing and preservation. Figurative elements and feminine garments relate to a deeper focus on women’s history, memory and identity’.
For more information about Angela Chalmers’ cyanotype printing method, please talk to a member of staff. Angela will be running Cyanotype Printing workshops at Joe Cornish Galleries on Saturday 6 May & Saturday 5 August. Book online at www.joecornishgallery.co.uk

A Tribute to Ansel Adams: 100 years of photographing Yosemite
Photographs by Charles Cramer Joe Cornish & Dave Chalmers
17 November - 23 December
2016 marks the centenary of Ansel Adam’s first ever photographic trip to Yosemite National Park in California, as a young boy with his Brownie box camera.
It is fitting therefore, that our last exhibition of 2016 is a tribute to his photography and the iconic images of Yosemite. Featuring work by Joe Cornish and Scraborough based photographer and printer David Chalmers, we are also delighted to be exhibiting work by American landscape photographer Charles Cramer.
Charles was a friend of Ansel Adams and not only learned from and worked with Adams, but also still exhibits and leads workshops at the Ansel Adams Gallery in Yosemite.
Speaking about Charles ahead of the exhibition, Joe Cornish said:
"Charles Cramer is one of America’s greatest living landscape photographers, an artist whose poetic vision of colour in the western landscape has inspired thousands of fans, collectors, students and photographers. He also has a unique experience of printing colour having mastered dye transfer, the ultimate form of analogue photographic print-making. He has brought all that experience to digital technology, and the subtlety and beauty of his digital prints is unsurpassed.
As a young man Charles Cramer attended a number of Ansel Adams workshops, and found common cause with Adams… a fellow pianist. They remained friends until Ansel’s death in 1984. Charlie has collaborated with Ansel’s one-time assistant and technical adviser, John Sexton, on workshops for many years. His prints may be found in the Ansel Adams gallery in Yosemite (as well as many others), and Yosemite has been the primary inspiration for his photography, and is the base for many of his workshops.
We are hugely privileged to have him as a visiting master of photography.”
Life on the brink: wildlife of India and Amazonia
A photographic exhibition by Will Nicholls and Param Sandhu
27 August - 24 September
Will Nicholls is a wildlife photographer from Northumberland. Will has established himself as one of the most promising up and coming young photographers in the country having won a string of awards including Young British Wildlife Photographer of the Year (2009) and the RSPCA Young Photographer Awards Overall Winner in 2011. Will’s pictures have been published locally, nationally and internationally.
In the summer of 2015 Will travelled to Manú, Peru - the most biodiverse place on Earth - to photographically document the wildlife in a regenerating area of rainforest, which had been entirely cleared 40 years ago. The Amazon Rainforest is nicknamed the ‘lungs of the Earth’ and is home to many different species. It is a biodiversity hotspot, but famously under threat from deforestation, gold mining, soy plantations and more. The exhibition will showcase a number of different species not only living, but thriving, in a rainforest that is re-establishing itself and giving hope to conservation efforts worldwide.
Will’s talk will be orientated around both video and still imagery, and will give a rare and unique insight into South American wildlife in Amazonia.
Dr Param Sandhu is a nature photographer with a special interest in photographing tigers in the wild.
Param is concerned about the plight of the wild tiger and communicates this to the world by showcasing his tiger photographs to international audiences. Through dedication and much time spent in the jungles in India, Param has developed a formidable understanding of the behaviour of wild tigers. He is specially observant of the young; tigresses, their cubs and their interactions form an important part of Param’s photographic portfolio.
A hundred years ago there were over a 100,00 tigers in the wild in India. It is now estimated that there are only just over 3 000 wild tigers in the world; 70% of these, around 2 000, live in the jungles of India. The dwindling numbers are entirely due to man and his actions; either related to his (man’s) own development and habitat destruction or criminality and the lucrative trade in tiger parts.
Param is a committed wildlife photographer and a speaker with a deep passion about the threat to this species.

Limited access by Susan Rowe
02 - 30 July 2016
Susan Rowe is a landscape photographer from County Durham. Since her retirement she has had more time to devote to photography, and has concentrated on expanding her photographic skills and developing her own personal style.
Susan grew very interested in landscape photography when her mobility became restricted by severe osteoarthritis. Faced with such adversity this may not seem an obvious choice, but as a geographer Susan has a longstanding affinity with hills, mountains, lakes and the sea, and photography has proved a great way to keep in touch with the landscape and the places she enjoys. Being disabled Susan faces big challenges to find suitably accessible locations to take photographs. She sometimes uses walking sticks, but more often than not a wheelchair, working in tandem with her husband as he carries her tripod and pushes her chair. And, as Susan’s inspiration is drawn from the colours and moods to be found around sunrise and sunset, and the water patterns and abstracts formed in lakes, streams and the sea, gaining access to these locations is well worth all the effort.
Susan is a member of the Royal Photographic Society as well as the Disabled Photographers Society and, has successfully been awarded a “Licentiateship” by both organisations – LRPS and LDPS.

Linda Lashford is a Welsh born photographic artist, who abandoned a career as a physician and medical scientist to take up a nomadic life travelling across Europe. For over a decade Linda has created walking holidays and marketing content for the UK travel company, Inntravel in her role as their chief photographer.
