Landscape nominee

Whilst visiting Austria, Hallstatt was at the top of my list of places to photograph. The town sat right beside the Hallstatt lake, is full of beauty and I was keen to witness it for myself. Being in Hallstatt during the winter allowed for dramatic conditions, to the heavy grey clouds to the snow-capped mountains it was a wonderful sight, and I was keen to explore this drama within my photography.

Positioning myself in an already well-trodden spot, looking across the edge of the town with the church centre frame, I waited for a gap in the clouds to allow a burst of golden light to pierce through the top of the mountainside. This light added depth to the landscape and helped emphasise the towns bold colours.

Having grown up in the beautiful county of Cornwall, I have had the fortune to see incredible landscapes, seascapes, sunrises and sunsets.

With eleven years of being a Professional Photographer in Cornwall under my belt, I bring dedication and creativity to my work, as well as a determination to create something that has never been seen before.

For me, photography is not simply capturing  what is laid out in front of you, it is capturing what is not in front of you, a unique perspective that shows the true personality of the subject. To put it another way, it is not just seeing what is beautiful, it is understanding why it is beautiful and knowing how to best get that mood and feeling across on to electronic equipment.
