Magnum photographer Steve McCurry produces outstanding images from around the world. He rightly seems to have won huge numbers of awards, but up until now he has not managed to achieve what must be the pinnacle of anyone's career, being awarded the Shepherdpics Photographer of the Month, so it's about time we rectified that!

Kersten Howard is Photographer of the Month for October

I was fortunate enough to spend a week last month in Pembrokeshire. It's a beautiful part of Wales and we even had good weather whilst we were there!

When ever I got the chance, I took the opportunity to catch up with the work of some of the landscape photographers of the are. I'm a little biased against photographers based there. It's a beautiful part of the world and the sun sets on that side of the coast, so getting a good shot is fairly easy and you don't have to get up early.

Having said that I was really excited to see the work of Kersten Howard in print. There are some really great prints there, I especially liked the triptych of Church Rock - which really works as a print. Why not visit Kerstens website and take a look at the quality of work on offer.

Peter Heyes is Photographer of the month for November

If you are a regular viewer of UK photography, as I am, you often see the same locations appear time and time again. This is often due to the locations being close to the road.

Peter Heyes avoids the easy option of standing at the bottom of a mountain to take a picture of it, instead he climbs it in all weathers to produce images of amazing beauty.


Striding Edge

His website is full of fantastic images of the mountains of Britain and is well worth a look round for all the amazing images of these wild places.
