Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Landscape photographer Charlie Waite has mastered the art of the perfect holiday photo, taking “painterly” pictures of Britain’s landscapes for over twenty years.
With 28 books, 30 solo exhibitions and a fellowship from the Royal Photographic Society under his belt, Waite has used his expertise to teach leading and amateur photographers how to capture the perfect image.
Over 100 photographs he has developed with his tutees are to go on show at an exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London in August.
From photographs of Llanddwyn Island Lighthouse in Anglesey, north Wales, to Scotland’s frozen Rannoch Moor, the pictures capture a Britain at its best.
Other stunning “holiday snaps” in the exhibition include a Tuscan storm in Italy, dawn rising over Sifnos island in Greece and a leopard roaming in South Africa’s Greater Kruger National Park.
Waite said: “The exhibition is a celebration of the individual photographer’s personal response to a moment of beauty.
“It invites us to engage with the photographer’s intent for each individual image allowing us as the audience to stand alongside the photographer, immersed in the time and place when the image was made.”
Light and Land runs at Mall Galleries in London from 2-10 August.
