What is Light Club?

Eye for the Light looks beyond the technical to the craft, to inspirations and creativity. Read about and listen to inspirational photographers, the vision behind great photography and fascinating photographic journeys.
What’s on Eye for the Light?
Currently there are more than 80 features and podcasts to enjoy. Here’s a few free ones to explore
Over-photographed – Chefchaouen, Morocco
Once a ‘hidden gem’, the blue city of Chefchaouen in northern Morocco, has become an Instagram sensation. Lured by the enduring appeal of its transcendental blue walls, the huge influx of visitors means the city is now at risk from overtourism.
Meet the judges – Linda Barberic
Linda adds a different slant to this year’s TPOTY judging panel. She’s a creative producer who deals with how images are used to convey a message or tell a story. Here she gives her insights into work and judging.
Human connections
The world’s tribal cultures have long drawn photographers but it’s a fine balance between capturing a timeless way of life and turning people into a human zoo. Trevor Cole shares his engaging approach.
