EXPRESSIVE PHOTOGRAPHY
Our Passion, Your Creativity
If you’ve found this website and are looking for a company that puts your development as a landscape photographer before any rules, templates or judgement, then your search is over.
Expressive Photography Ltd was founded by Scottish landscape photographer me, Alister Benn and my wife, Norwegian artist Ann Kristin Lindaas. Our idea is to strip photography education back down to the absolute basics; the landscape, our engagement, passion and expression. Yes, there are all sorts of techniques, styles and locations, but we often forget why we picked up a camera in the first place, we love being in nature.
There are numerous ways to engage with us, from our FREE YouTube Channel, the growing range of Expressive Photography e-books, the EP Forum and of course on our Workshops and Retreats.
I’ve been teaching landscape photography since 2005 and it is my refreshing approach and questioning mind that have formed the foundation of a company that is pushing back against the same old approaches used for decades. If they worked, everyone would already be the perfect photographer they wanted to be, rather than searching for answers and asking if there is meaning in photography beyond popularity on the internet.
The Expressive Team
If a picture can paint a thousand words, what are those words going to be? Photography is an expressive
and reflective medium.
Let us narrate and articulate our stories.

International Landscape Photographer of the Year 2018,
Special Award
In October 2021 Alister Benn was made a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society. This required 21 images from his Out of Darkness collection to be presented with a statement of intent.
This is a huge honour and he is delighted.
“The emptiness of the landscape, while at first daunting, seduced me, asking questions and demanding engagement on an intimate level.”
The whole experience of Alister’s emergence from a life of panic, anxiety and depression is now available in his first printed coffee table book: Out of Darkness
