Hey Tom,
I’m brand new to NPN, but I wrote about my own personal reasoning that has contributed to me moving from “grand scenic” photography to more intimate landscapes in my article in the current issue of Nature Vision magazine… so I’ll summarise by saying that for me, it’s a combination of care for the environment + desire for originality + wanting to visit less-frequented nature locations that has seen a shift in my own preferences. For me, it has absolutely nothing to do with trends… more to do with having more experience and developing a more thoughtful approach to landscape photography! If you’re at all interested in the much longer reasoning, the article is here - Originality & the Lure of the Intimate Landscape - Mieke Boynton
