Northern light: Landscape photography and the north

'Introduction' to 'Northern Light: Landscape Photography and the North', 2017, Robinson, Andrew - (ed) - Exhibition Catalogue for the exhibition - Northern Light (July 2016) hosted by the Media Arts and Communication Department and held at SIA Gallery, Sheffield Hallam University. Northern Light – Landscape Photography and Evocations of the North - was a conference and related exhibition held at Sheffield Hallam University, exploring the many ways in which photographic images address notions of a northern landscape – whether drawing on established traditions of art and photography or concerned with contemporary photographic and lens based practice. We invited papers and photographic artefacts that explored or responded to the wide reach of the geographical north and exhibited work made in the north of England, Scotland’s Highlands and Western Isles, Northern Europe, Canada, Alaska, Siberia, the Arctic and the Nordic territories.
