Sigma UK talks to Joe Cornish, one of the UK's greatest landscape photographers. A few months ago we asked Joe to pick out five Sigma lenses and create some images with each. In this 30-minute interview he talks though his shooting process and gives his insight on how to achieve more eye-catching results.

Always interesting listening to Joe Cornish. A very inspirational photographer whose pictures I never tire off.

@iaincphotography6051 2 года назад

Another great chat with Mr Cornish, always good to listen to and his gallery is a worthwhile visit indeed.

@seanb6259 Год назад

What an inspiration! Joe is clearly at the top of his game and is so knowledgeable and eloquent with regards to his art. Could listen to him all day! Insightful and interesting.

Absolutely fantastic that Joe is using Sigma products and is a brand ambassodor for Sigma :-)

I enjoyed watching this video, very informative. I don't have any Sigma lenses but that did not detract from the quality of the discussion. So thanks!

@redrazor9996 2 года назад

Really enjoyed this video. Love Sigma Lenses, Joe is such a chilled and knowledgable gentleman. An artist, an inspiration, he, amongst others should be a first port of call for new and aspiring photographers to learn so much about composition and the photographers’ emotional connection to the capture.

Thanks very much! Yeah Joe is such a nice guy and always willing to share his knowledge. A real master of his craft!

@larryjohnson1451 2 года назад

I thoroughly enjoyed this presentation with Joe. I've followed him from his large format days, and feel that he played a part in my finding the way I see and think about landscape photography. He articulates his thoughts and objectives quite effectively, making this video instructional as well as inspirational.

@colinmclean2523 Год назад

Fascinating - Joe Cornish as articulate as ever.

Thanks, I've lived in UK for roundabout a year, I also love the landscapes troughout seasons, Bravo Mate :)

Fabulous photos, but all of dying plants, rain in the tropics can be good too, a tropical rainforest is great too. ( and less likely to catch pneumonia) the Sigma DX lenses are in my bag, they outperform Nikon , would love to see a programme with the crop sensor choices

@johnclarke1319 3 месяца назад

nothing beats a perfect deep blue cloudless sky ,~ after a British 9 month winter! why do photographers only seem to photograph dying trees dead grass and frost. (beautiful work - inspiring)

Always love these conversations with J.C. One bit of kit to add would be a pack horse or sherpa! NO LENS LEFT BEHIND !!!

I totally agree about ultra-wide lenses. I do have one, and carry it, but it is my least-used lens by far (in fact I use my fisheye more!). But the vast majority of my landscapes are with my 24-90(FFE) lens followed by either of my 150-600(FFE) or 80-300(FFE).

@billytetlow 2 года назад

Great video, I also with that there had been more information re the cameras settings, f stop, shutter speed, and ISO. I have a selection of Sigma lenses for my F mount Nikons, I just wish that they were available for my Z6.

@markbray3038 2 года назад

I love Sigma lenses, I'm waiting for a 70-200 from Sony. Perhaps f4? That would be nice! Great video and great Joe.

@ashvarma2486 2 года назад

Great interview. Would have been very helpful to know which f-stops Joe shot the images at and also which camera body did he use? Thanks for sharing.

@sigmauk 2 года назад

Hi Ash, Joe used a Sony a7RIV for all of these images, and he said tends to shoot at mid-range apertures where the lens performs best (F5.6, F8, etc) unless he particularly wants a very shallow or very wide depth-of-field. Thanks for watching!

@ashvarma2486 2 года назад

@@sigmauk That's very helpful indeed. Many thanks for the feedback.

@PieRo13524 2 года назад

That´s a photographer! for me it´s awesome how he lowers his voice when he says that he moves the clarity and contrast just a little bit, almost like hes doing a mea culpa. Now days when its common to have some dude telling us he put this and that and errase all that and over satured the photograph in post, as if it were an achievement

@sigmauk 2 года назад

👏 exactly! Well said!

@Stop-All-War 2 года назад

Great to hear from Joe. Sigma, as your aware _'metadata'_ is helpful, as technical specification & performance info in such videos.. We as Photography folks do like to know how things are achieved & quality of performance. Each Photo could easily have had shooting info overlayed. Nice video Sigma, shame you guys don't have a weekly RU-vid upload of Photographers using your equipment in Landscape, Street & Portrait..your viewing numbers would soar to the Sky. Food for thought.

@kbruff2010 Год назад

Good discussion ❤

@Patto2276 Год назад

I realize this is about the specific lenses, but I'm more interested in the focal lengths.

@danielling792 Год назад

Given that joe only shoots landscapes and his choice of lens have very low f stops , i wonder if he really need such a low f stop lens when he shoots with tripod and inevitable f8 or higher for depth of field for landscape photography?

@terrygunderson5681 Год назад

In my experience, the reason for the wide aperture of 1.4 or 2.8 is lenses often are sharpest a few stops from its widest... so an 85mm 1.4 is very sharp at 2.8.. but a 85mm 2.8 is sharper at f4 or f5.6. At least that is what I have learned.

@huwalban 2 года назад

Excellent video. Really enjoyed that one Sigma UK. Is it me, or is Joe inherently more interesting to listen to than Lord Waite? ☺ I am also a landscaper, and have the Sigma 100-400 in my standard kit for exactly the same reasons as Joe. It is an excellent lens, and yes, sometimes the extra reach is incredibly handy to have to hand. Don't lose Joe as an ambassador Sigma UK - in fact get an fpL into his hands; I'd be really interested to hear what he makes of the camera.

@sigmauk 2 года назад

Thanks Huw! We'll pass on your feedback! Yes Joe is such a good speaker - a very interesting guy.

@paulhuntington8027 2 года назад

Great video, great lenses, but what cameras did Joe use?

@sigmauk 2 года назад

Thanks Paul! Joe uses various cameras including medium format, but these were all shot on Sony a7R IV 👍

@andrewgaffney4881 2 года назад

Glen Coe image not a crowd pleaser? It’s amazing.

@petrub27 Месяц назад

He confused Schneider lenses with sigma. What is going on?

@ericerickson6537 Год назад

If using a tripod why not just take the 24-70. My tripod turns every lens I own really sharp.

@copisetic1104 Год назад

I use 20mm, 35, 50, 85. I don’t shoot any zoom they aren’t good enough for my prints. I make 36x24 and up. If you want to shoot big, bad lenses and camera movement will humble you real fast. Get ready to pay for very good glass to match high mp sensor’s.

@WizardOfCheese Год назад

these do not look like the focal lengths they claim to have been shot with, they look cropped in.

@AlergicToSnow Год назад

F2? Isn’t DoF more important? You’re shooting on a tripod so wider aperture for more light isn’t all that relevant? What am I missing?

@linjicakonikon7666 Год назад

Joe is entitled to his opinions, of which he has many. I draw more inspiration from photographers who have less saccharine and cliched imagery. David Muench is the Grand Master of this genre with Joe being a Muenchkin. Good stuff but clearly derivative.

@firpofutbol Год назад

These images could've just as well be taken by an amateur. Not incredibly inspiring.

@ddolde 2 года назад

I doubt this guy would use Sigma lenses unless they gave them time him for promotion

@iaincphotography6051 2 года назад

He could use a Holga and he would still get great shots and to be fair he does get great shots with his smartphone.

@sigmauk 2 года назад

Hey Doug! One of things we've loved about working with Joe is that he's a really genuine guy and completely honest with his opinions. Everything he says in the video is totally in his own words - hope that gives you at least some reassurance! On another note, I had a look at your work of the American West and you have some really nice imagery. Particularly like the Zion series - what a place! Tim@Sigma

@kronkite1530 2 года назад

I’d be interested to hear - which isn’t answered in Sigma’s response - how often he uses a Sony camera and Sigma lenses for his professional work, rather than shooting images with them as part of the process of making this “advertorial”. As I understood it he had moved from film with view cameras to digital using MF backs (on a Linhof) to Phase One technical camera(s). It sounds odd to say that the subtlety of the advertising bothers me when it’s presented by a guy from Sigma with a Sigma shirt(!) but the chat and print reveal almost subliminally suggests he (mostly?) uses FF and Sigma lenses. I have no problem with the lenses and have owned the 50mm F1.4 and 85mm Art lenses + the 100-600mm zoom; great lenses, just that this felt a bit disingenuous IF most of his professional work is on other systems.
