Hello, I’m James, and Landscape Photographer from Yorkshire, UK. I’m currently building my 2025 portfolio and will be sharing it in December. Here are some of my favourite photographs from 2024. Thanks so much to everyone who comments, likes and follows even when I haven’t posted for months!

Silence

Not a breath of wind on this serene summer morning.

#landscapephotography #naturephotography #photography

A distant mountain under a clear, indigo sky during blue hour just before sunrise. The bottom half of the image is a crystal clear lake without a breath of wind disturbing the water. The mountain is perfectly reflected in the lake. There are two pairs of rocks in the lake in the immediate foreground. There is also a tiny band of mist at the far end of the lake. The image is a vertical composition of the 4:5 ratio.

Four photos from my ‘Ghost in the Shell’ series (2013-now).

‘Mussel in Blue’. A slow-shutter photo of sea foam rushing past a mussel shell on the sand during twilight.

‘Touch’. A slow-shutter photo of sea foam touching a shell on the sand during golden hour.

‘Angel Wings’. A slow-shutter photo of sea foam and a piddock (also called Angel Wings) shell on the sand.

‘Crimson’. A slow-shutter photo of sea foam and a scallop shell on the sand.

I thought I’d do an introduction post as it seems the way on here. I’m a professional photographer specializing in the ocean and the coast it carves. I’m lucky to be represented by some good galleries. I also teach workshops. I’ve been full-time for 9 years now - went fast!

A photo of a blue wave with a slow shutter speed to achieve a painterly look.

A huge storm wave in black and white. Spindrift and a beam of light.

Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 has so many beautiful places, but my absolute favourite has to be the big open landscapes of Assynt & Coigach. I can’t wait to be back there this month. It’s truly where my heart is.

Image title: Far Away Places. Three layers of mountain side recede into a very hazy white sky starting in the bottom left corner, fading to white nothingness in the top right. There is low cloud separating the layers.

Image title: Lightstrike. A blue/indigo loch with patches of light and dark water reflects the peach orange sunset light that zig zags across the loch like a lightning strike. The sky is the same orange and has an oppressive grey/blue layer above it. The loch and sky are separated by a ridge of hills.

Image title: Dark Mirror. In the foreground is a small loch with silhouetted reeds. The loch is reflecting the pink and blue sky right after sunset. The loch is surrounded by silhouetted layers of hill that fall to black. The distance recedes into blue mountains with layers of mist hanging between the hills. The sky is blue and pink.

Image title: Time. Layers and layers of brown and grey hills recede into the middle of the image. The layers are side lit by the rising sun. Beyond the layers are a series of mountains that run from left to right across the middle of the frame. Above the mountains is a soft pink sky, warmed by the rising sun. It is hazy and cloudy.

I need not be afraid of Color.
With the word "diversity" floating around these days, I feel like I need to include more color images in my portfolio.
I love that I do BW. But I no longer feel that I need to exclude a pretty color image now and then.

This sandstone was beautiful enough on its own but as the tide was rising, small waves starting cascading off adding an ethereal effect to the frame.

An endless sea of windblown dunes transforms into sublime beauty as the last light of day grazes Namibia's vast coastal dune fields.⁠

The beautiful textures of Bardenas desert in northern Spain… The kind of places that makes you doubt you’re still on earth 😵‍💫…

#bluesky #photography #landscape #art #nature #geology #sunset

The surprising geology of Bardenas desert. Multiple sand stone hills sculpted by erosion resulting in a some sort of yellow-ish alien landscape. The sky is filled with beautiful sunset clouds showing red, purple and orange tones.
Image captured from the edge of a cliff. The rocks we see in foreground are the edge of the cliffs.

Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. This place has given me so much since I first picked up a camera in 2018. I remember my first visit and saying to my friend “I had no idea all of this was on the same island I live on.”

A treasure trove of ever changing graphical shapes, the dead trees in Namibia's Dead Vlei, against a backdrop of towering red dunes, never disappoint. I loved how the two trees seemed to embrace!
