How did they get where they are today? How did they work on their style? Was it a conscious choice or, like many things in life, a happy (or perhaps a more dramatic) coincidence?

The first photographer featured in my mini-series called "A photographer's journey" is James M. Barrett.

It's the carriage's light reflected in the window.

A hundred years old, Ponting's images, are simply unbelievable. Very beutifully framed, but ultimately tragic.

There are also equally great, although different in nature, images by Frank Hurley, taken during Ernest Shackleton's Polar expedition which began in 1914.

Very moving and very inspiring, particularly when you realise what equipment - and how much of it - was needed to capture these photographs in such harsh conditions.

The exibition runs until mid-April at The Queen's Gallery in London.
