Paul Kenny is a master at finding beauty in the overlooked. His exquisitely detailed abstract images are made using objects he has found on beaches in Ireland, Scotland and north-east England – from copper wire and fragments of fishing rope to seaweed and other natural materials. These are then artfully arranged on glass plates (or other translucent material) and the final artwork is created using a flatbed scanner. It is a technique he has spent 50 years developing.

Many of Paul’s finest artworks are collected in his new book, Strandline (published by Kōzu Books) and in OP 311 he shares the ideas and inspiration behind his work with Tracy Calder. Don’t miss it!

With autumn in full swing, it’s the perfect time to give your landscape portfolio a boost. In our November issue (OP 311) Alan Ranger Photography shares his tips to help you do just that, through five inspiring project ideas.

One of his ideas explores the season’s striking colour contrasts. He suggests incorporating bold autumn colours, such as rich oranges, deep reds and golden yellows against neutral backgrounds like creams, greys and darker shades to create impactful images like the one shown here, taken at Batsford Arboretum, Gloucestershire.

Autumn mist is the holy grail for many landscape photographers, offering the potential for images with the wow factor. This atmospheric weather phenomenon is most like to occur the morning after a warm day and a cool, still night. So, look for high humidity – 95% or more – and a forecast of low wind speeds.

He says: ‘Autumn colour and water provide a compelling double act capable of producing outstanding atmosphere, drama, flow, tranquility and mood – qualities that can elevate our landscape photographs.’
