Welcome to this special Madeira Edition of In The Frame. This issue contains the usual three articles on a location, an image and a technique, but each one is inspired by my photography experiences in Madeira.

Madeira is a beautiful photography destination, with variety in its landscape and weather that changes constantly as you move around the island. There’s something really exciting about visiting a place that you can drive across in a couple of hours, but which also contains so many features that you could capture new scenes for weeks.

Whenever I’m exploring a city, I always like to visit small museums and galleries, and I’m often less interested in huge national collections. Madeira feels a little like a small gallery, just the right size for you to fully investigate the place and leave with a sense of completeness. Having endless terrain to explore feels exciting, but it’s somehow more relaxing when you can see the edges of things.

The features that make Madeira so much more than a simple island are its geography and climate. Sheer cliffs rise directly from the ocean, and the landscape turns from rugged coastline, to tropical forests, to rocky mountains as you climb higher and further from the sea. The landscape catches weather patterns as they flow in from the ocean, one moment battered by storms, then shining under spotlights emerging from the clouds. Madeira is a land of microclimates, and you can often change the conditions around you with a short drive to a new location.
