Alister Benn is one of the founders of Whytake. He is a Scottish Landscape photographer living in the SW Chinese Province of Yunnan.

Alister's main interests are in night photography and contemporary landscape photography techniques. He blends images with several different software programs; Photoshop is one of his recommendations.

Alister said, "To me, it is all about creating meaningful, expressive, communicative images - to do that requires me to step beyond the basic functionality of my camera."
“I don’t have a one-click 5 minute fix. This year I forced myself to slow down and start to really look at my images in a more critical and analytical way. Treating them as individuals, rather than being on an assembly line”.
