John Lander – The Photographer behind Asia Images

John Lander Asia Images


One of the best photographers I have come across is John Lander. He is the photographer behind Asia Images and is based in Japan with a passion for Japanese gardens, onsen, cuisine and festivals. Credits include photos and articles published by Travel+Leisure, TIME Magaine and Forbes among others. Client list: McGraw-Hill, Hachette Media, Apple Computers, Twentieth-Century Fox.

He has a massive selection of images from all of the South East Asia region and it is a pleasure to wonder through his collection and be taken on a journey around the Orient.

He also has a very detailed and well visited blog at asiaimages.blogspot.com which is well worth a good read. Follow this link to be taken to Asia Images and below you will find just a few examples of his work.


Devotional Music, Bhaktapur

Devotional Music, Bhaktapur - the songs of Dapha music are devotional songs based on classical ragas. Dapha music is played by bands known as Dapha Khalah. According to the ragas certain songs are played at certain season or time of day. The songs generally narrate or depict the mood of the particular season.


Durbar Square at Sunrise, Bhaktapur

Bhaktapur Durbar Square at Dawn - the workmanship of the temples here rivals those of Kathmandu and Patan. Durbar Square has a large open brick paved area in the centre surrounded by temples arranged in a harmonious layout for which UNESCO named Bhaktapur Durbar Square a World Heritage Site.


Yubatake Kusatsu

Kusatsu is the largest natural hot springs in Japan with more than a hundred springs gushing from the Earth which produce, altogether, more than 36,000 litres per minute.  This abundance can be seen in the Yubatake the hot spring fields in the centre of town.  Kusatsu's long history as a flourishing spa town is a well-known resort for recovering from illness or surgery.

Some Storming Photography Sites

There are so many great photography sites out there that it’s hard to pick just a few but here’s a couple that have recently caught my eye. The first is one of the best stock site for images from Estonia, the photographer is Jaak Nilson who has spent all his working life photographing the stunning landscape and people of this Northern European country. He is a fellow member of Circle Stock Images and is constantly updating his site with new travel images of everything from festivals to the changing landscape.

The second is one of the bests sites for photo art on the web. Wenatta Badkowski is a photographer based in the USA and here ability to turn regular images into photo art is simply astounding. This is a great collection of images that I know you will find inspiring and very enjoyable to browse through. Here recent work includings some amazing close up shots of plant life and ind small insects who’s detail will open a window up on a new world. My favourite image however captures one of those moments in life which few of us would photograph but has been brought to life through this photograph.

The third and final site for today has a massive collection of images from all over the world from travel stock photographer Olaf Protze. He has spent many hears travelling from his home in Germany with his camera. This has given rise to a large collection of images from all over the world including England, Germany, Italy, the Seychelles Islands, Egypt, South Africa and dozens of other countries. All of his images are of the highest standard and this site is a great place to use to travel the world from your home.

    Summer Images of Bumble Bees and Butterflies on Framing The Planet

    Image of a worker bumble bee on a thistle flowerSummer has arrived finally and now is the exciting time of getting out and collecting new images from the wealth of wildlife that appears at this time of year. I am currently in the process of collecting a stack of macro new images of all the small insects and flowers that have just arrived around my home in the English countryside.

    I really can’t wait to share them with you and they will appear in the coming weeks but I thought it would be great to share with you the images I currently have on Framing The Planet. There are several featured below including the Cabbage White Butterfly, Worker Bee and Bumble Bee all shot using my 50mm lens and macro reverser ring.

    Once the new images are in I will post them right here and provide some hints and tips on how to get the best out of your camera in order to take some images of your own.

    Two Fantastic Blogs to Check Out with Images of China and Beyond

    I have been following two fantastic blogs with some really amazing photography that are well worth a look. The first is is from www.golberz.com, this is a blog that have have followed for some time and I thought was worth sharing. The blog has a massive collection of images and they have just updated with a new post with photos from China. The work is simply breath taking, to take a look please visit www.golberz.com.

    The second is a new blog that I’ve only recently come across so I haven’t fully explored. However the post I have seen has some amazing landscapes of water falls and rivers exploring the beauty of the natural world. To take a look please visit beautifulplacestovisit.com.

    Keep an eye out for the delayed exposure images of the flowing rivers, in particular the first and fourth images. You will see the water looks smooth with a richness of colour, in the coming weeks I will be providing a free lesson right here on how to create this kind of images. Unfortunately the natural beauty in my local area is not as stunning as in these photos but we will produce something very special too.
