Focus Clinics have collaborated with photographers from all over England to create The Best of English Views directly through the eyes of its residents. From Yorkshire to Essex, and Norfolk to Cornwall, they From Yorkshire to Essex, and Norfolk to Cornwall, we asked each of the photographers to contribute an image of the landscape from their county that they feel captures it in its best light. The Great British countryside dominates the photographic contribution - 24 of the photographs feature the woodlands, countryside or rivers of that are scattered throughout England. Other iconic scenery captured within the piece has another focus; England’s historic coastline. But the shocking thing is, that the majority of Brits cannot see these views without glasses or contact lenses. Over two million people in the UK are currently living with sight loss. With The Best of English Views, Focus Clinics want to raise awareness of eye health in the UK and to encourage the population to regularly undergo thorough eye teststo catch prevalent sight-stealing conditions, such as cataracts and glaucoma before it’s too late.

In a bid to keep Britons printing their favourite moments, Jessops are offering Boots Advantage card holders 20% off all photo printing and gifts in-store throughout March. To highlight the importance of printing photos in this digital age, Jessops commissioned YouGov* to look into how long we really keep our digital images and what we like taking photos of. The findings revealed that 44% of British adults have lost a digital photo that they wish they had printed, with ‘losing/ breaking hardware’ and ‘accidentally deleting the photos’ being the most common ways of losing digital photographs. Despite this, only 8% print a photo at least once a month, while over one in five respondents have never printed a photo. “For many of us, our most treasured photos are of family, friends and special occasions. It is staggering that so many of us have lost some of our precious digital photos, while ironically photos stashed in old boxes by parent and grandparents are still here today. It was clear from our research that if you want to keep your most precious photos and hand them down, printing them is the fail safe way of making sure you don’t lose them,” comments Danielle Nicholls, Head of Photo for Jessops.
