Welcome to Landscape Photography World! I’m Grant Swinbourne and I’ll be your host on this show discussing the world of landscape photography. In future shows I’ll be talking to some of the best landscape photographers that inspire me.
We’ll be getting to know them better and talk to them about their inspirations and motivations, how they’ve developed their style and what they do and don’t like about being a photographer.
I’m keen to explore with you the art of landscape photography, composition, the use of tone and colour with maybe a little tech talk along the way. What I’m aiming for is to give you a glimpse into the world of landscape photography from the perspective of some of the best landscape photographers out there.
I hope you enjoy the show!

Ep 201 - Lightpainting with Drones with Leighton Compton
Leighton Compton, a skilled carpet layer turned passionate landscape photographer, shares his evolving creative journey with a strong focus on drone and astrophotography. He opens up about his initial hesitation toward drone use, eventually embracing the medium through experimentation with intentional movement and light painting techniques. Leighton breaks down the detailed planning behind many of his images, discussing the technical challenges of editing and printing, and how those hurdles have shaped his artistic growth.
Beyond technique, he reflects on photography’s role in his life as a therapeutic outlet, offering calm and purpose amid life’s demands. With a grounded perspective, Leighton also speaks about the pressures of staying relevant in an increasingly competitive field and how he navigates creative self-doubt. His admiration for fellow photographers and emphasis on crafting unique compositions underscore his commitment to the art form. Whether capturing starscapes or aerial views, Leighton brings both curiosity and clarity to each frame—demonstrating that even the most advanced tools are only as powerful as the intention behind them.
I hope you enjoy the show.
